I get periodic e-mails from Borders Books, and the most recent one had a link to the Borders Media area of their site which houses, among other things, interviews with authors. I thought this interview with author Phillipa Gregory was really interesting. I’m fascinated by the research process of historical authors and these tidbits of history of which we haven’t heard. The interview really made me want to read her books.
I’m continuing to book new appearances for around when my book comes out this September. I’m working with an RWA chapter to speak to their group, hopefully in September, and I’ve committed to attending the Buns & Roses Tea and Book Signing to benefit the adult literacy programs at the Richardson Public Library in Richardson, Texas on Oct. 12. While I’m in Texas, I may try to book some more appearances/book signings to make more of the trip. Any Texas folks out there with any ideas?
Revisions continue. I got through about two and a half chapters yesterday. Shooting for at least two more today. It’s an easy day to stay inside since it’s cold and there is a bit of snow on the ground. I plan to go nowhere but the mailbox.

I just read a newspaper article about Phillipa. Her body of work is so impressive. I haven’t read any of her books, but I’m going to check them out soon. She’s got a book coming out about Mary Queen of Scots.

Hmm… I have a couple of her books in my TBR, but I have to work up to them (they seem a bit longer and more serious than what I usually have time to read)…
Oh, I wish I were in Texas, if only for your signings!
I’m glad you’re continuing to progress on your revisions! Yippee!

Jane, I’m impressed with her body of work too. I have a good friend who really likes her books, so I need to start reading them.
Fedora, you’re so sweet to want to come to one of my signings. You never know when I might be in your neck of the woods though.
