Good Authoring Day to YOU …
… And Happy Saturday to you!
Gads .. the wild weather of Colorado is in full display. Temps dropped 50+ degrees. Snowing today. Yesterday, I hustle to move hanging plants into the shelter. I dread what the cold weather will do to my flowering trees. Sigh.
Woot … my four new books are now in the “eBook” morph world. All will be up soon on KDP … and they the final stop via Author Central. The deletion of the old and the linking/merging of the new.

Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM. I always have a “new tip” for the group that I lead with—a “show and tell how to do ‘it’ … whatever ‘it’ is, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks”. Become a subscriber so you can get Friday Coaching for only $37 a month for VIP AuthorYOU members, $75 for non-members—limited number of subscribers allowed. We gather viz Zoom at 7 AM. Get on board –it’s fun and informative … and you get all questions answered. We do it via Zoom. This is for any author anywhere! Register– http://bit.ly/JudithCoaching
