Good Authoring Day to YOU …

Last Monday morning, when I stepped out on my back deck, I felt it. The snap. I felt FALL announce, I’m coming. A different type of “cold” was in the air. As the week progressed, the yellowing of leaves began to pepper through my many trees. Yeppers, fall is coming. Official, it lands in two days, on the 23rd. Summer is coming to an end.

I’m getting ready to launch my newest of Unplugged events: Book Marketing Unplugged in a month. It’s already half full—and yes, I’m covering how to not lose your mental marbles with social media.
