Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s about time you posted pictures. So here you go folks, and not necessarily in any order!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
one of the boxes of my books<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ah, one of three boxes of my author copies. Even before I cracked open the box, I held one copy that my publisher had in her stuff that she wanted me to sign. Anyway, you should have seen the Canada Customs guy’s look when I declared them and the ones I bought.
\nMe:<\/strong> I bought some books.
\nHim:<\/strong> $700?
\nMe:<\/strong> Also have the author copies of my novel.
\nHim:<\/strong> smiled and stamped my declaration form.<\/p>\n

the venue at the Kansas History Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We were in the large double tent in the middle of the photo. This picture was taken on the advance scouting mission that Carla and I went on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Author Galand Nuchols, my editor Carla Ralston, author Jacque Graham and me<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My book is in the top of the rack on the right. It’s also displayed on an easel in a more prominent position… see here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
the adult and YA titles. A Shadow in the Past is on the right<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I thought the best feeling I ever had was holding my book for the first time. It still remains special but I think my first sale was even more special.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
my first sale – photo by Vivian Zabel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What a rush selling my first book! I can’t put the feeling of euphoria into words. Then I went on and sold 6 more!<\/p>\n

Janet Brown, me, and Galund Nuchols with our books that debuted at the Kansas Book Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here I am with my editor, Carla. We had such a good time working on A Shadow in the Past. There were times that we both thought we shared the same brain we had such a great connection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Carla and me … and I’m wearing my “ruby slippers”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even with the fun as I had in Kansas, memories I’ll cherish forever, as Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz – there’s no place like home.<\/p>\n

Now I’m looking towards the launch in my hometown on September 22nd.<\/p>\n
