EAST TEXAS BOOK FEST !!

A day after the East Texas Book Fest at the UT campus Tyler and I am just reflecting on meeting all the many authors and readers that strolled through the center on Saturday. it is always an odd mix of many different kinds of people-almost as varied as those strolling through an airport! I signed copies and sold my books, The Honey Bee Girl, Montana Mist, Cavern of the Eggstone, and Tropical Calypso, and also sold many of my wildlife ART prints too! SOLD my RAVEN painting too!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ONE of the highlights of the day was meeting and getting to hang out with New York Times Bestselling Author Taylor Stevens. She is an amazing individual and an author you NEED to Check out! http://www.taylorstevensbooks.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My favorite Texas Author didn't attend this year and I missed talking to Joe Lansdale!! His books are fabulous! ____________________________________________________________________________________________NEXT WEEKEND I will be at the 7th Annual Word Wrangler Book Fest in Giddings Texas- my 6th YEAR in a row! It is one of my favorite places to attend! The people there are awesome and so friendly and helpful to all the attending authors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My Art CLub is underway and we will be starting our first activities Monday! Teaching HS ART is keeping me extra busy and my time for producing my own art and writing has been dwindling down to almost nothing, but i did find a few minutes to work more on the ORYX painting-almost finished-just the animals and part of the clouds to paint. Here is some of my sketchbook pages and the unfinished Oryx painting:
