Marilyn's Musings

Anyone who reads my blog has already figured out that hubby and I love to travel over to the coast. Because I belong to the Central Coast Sisters in Crime, I have opportunities to join them in various events. We are traveling over to Santa Maria June 27th and staying overnight in the Santa Maria Inn. Also one of our favorites. Last time I went was with our daughter Lisa and we stayed in the newer part of the Inn. I'm hoping this time we'll get to be in the older and more historical part--the haunted part. On Saturday, June 28th, we'll drive down to the Lompoc Library where I'll be on a panel with other SinC members talking about different phases of publishing. My topic will be e-books. I'm sure I was chosen for this one because I've been published in e-books long before most anyone had a clue what that meant. Things have changed so much since I first started talking about e-books and how they would change the way people read. (I was right.) I've never...

On Saturday, July 12, I'll be at the West Coast Author's Premiere at the Crowne Plaza Hotel at the beach in Ventura from 10 to 3. At 10:30 a.m., I'm going to give a presentation on electronic publishing. At 4, I'll be at the Bank of Books in downtown Ventura speaking about How to Write a Mystery. I'll have handouts for both presentations. And as an aside, on Friday night before the event, hubby and I are spending the night in a haunted room at the Bella Maggoire Bed and Breakfast in downtown Ventura. How much fun is that? Anyone in the vicinity, please do stop by. Marilyn http://fictionfroyou.com
