Gotta love flying… Spent Sunday in Bentonville with my daughter. Took my oldest grandson to Avatar 3D… Very cool BTW. Woke up 3:30AM to catch a flight to DFW via Memphis (not the most direct way to get from Arkansas to Texas). I get an email saying the airplane was […]
I spoke at a dinner last night at Harding U. without a “net” meaning no Power Point, which was fun. The talk was greatly helped by the librarians and teacher’s good humor. I love gift baskets. Thanks! Today I’m doing three more programs today then heading over to Bentonville. I […]
I’m at CAC today near Little Rock with 5th grade teacher Angie Diles speaking to 3rd thru High School students in yet another beautiful auditorium. Outstanding students with thoughtful questions. And Angie is a dynamo of energy. Gotta love the quote below over the urinal. On my way to Harding […]
Up at 4AM writing (as I have been everyday for the past week) trying to get a draft of this novel finished… I’m in Hot Springs, Arkansas all day with librarian Ramona Abernathy at Hamilton Lake Intermediate speaking to 4th and 5th graders. Like all the other librarians in Hamiliton, […]
Today I spoke to students at Lake Hamilton High, Jr. High, and Middle School in their beautiful High School auditorium. Their fabulous librarians Lori Bush, Jil’Lana Heard, and Jana Dutton could not have been nicer or better prepared. The students had great questions and had clearly read a number of […]
I’m in Hot Springs, Arkansas the next three days. Today I am with the very kind Tanna Clark, Library Media Specialist at Lakeside Middle School, speaking to 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students. Hot Springs is about an hour and a half south of Little Rock and is the boyhood […]
Six weeks without living out of a suitcase,TSA, packing, boarding airplanes, which might be a record for me. I’m on my way to Little Rock from Pheonix via Memphis. I’ll be at schools in Arkansas all week, then Harding University Friday night and Saturday, then I head to Texas next […]
A little pre-Christmas round up… Don’t think it’s all writing and eating food down here. There are errands to run in paradise. Our Internet went out late last week. Of course we thought it had to do with the router we installed, but after reconfiguring it from scratch approximately 7,000 […]
We’ve been here for five days… Beautiful weather, although it was a little on the chilly side today with a few clouds, but they were gone by this evening. My routine is simple… Go to sleep early. Wake up early. Write all day. Repeat. I tend to move my writing […]
I’m in Dodge City today where the Gunsmoke crew, Matt Dillon, Chester, Kitty, and Doc hung out at the Long Branch Saloon in the living room of my youth. This is my last school visit until mid-January, which means tonight when I finish I get to say: “I’m gonna get […]
