Dreams do come true!!

Last weekend, December 19th and 20th was very exciting for me. I had my first live radio interview- on the Dutch station http://www.dutchtouchradio.com CJMR1320AM. It was quite a challenge. Even though I do speak Dutch, I've gotten a bit rusty over the years. Nonetheless, it was fun and marked the next milestone in my writing career.

On Sunday, December 20th, I was at The McNally-Robinson Booksellers where I had a book-signing, for my book "A Winter Solstice Celebration". The staff in the children's book department were wonderful and helped me every way they could.

Doing a book-signing event is a dream come true for me. As a young girl, whenever I thought of being a professional writer, I had a vision of me sitting at a table signing my books. Through the years, my vision just thrilled me. You can imagine how I felt when it really came true! Another exciting milestone in my journey of professional writing. My first book-signing was a huge success, thanks to all the interesting and friendly people -young and old- I met. Thank you all for your support and I hope you stay in touch so I can share my progress as a writer.

Another exciting event is that I’ve been invited for a live radio interview on the Dutch radio.
Yes, I did say, Dutch! I’ll be speaking in Dutch! For those who did not know, I speak Dutch, as I lived in The Netherlands for 12 years. There, I founded a children’s theatre group. I wrote and produced the plays and the children were the actors. We preformed for seniors and other children as well as on special occasions in the small village I lived in at the time.

For all of you who do speak and understand Dutch, you can follow me on CJMR1320AM - http://www.dutchtouchradio.com.
For my English speaking fans, a translation will be done asap and will be posted on my blog and my web-site!

About two weeks ago, I hired a Social Media Consultant/Author Assistant, This was the best thing I could have done! I’ve been exploding onto the Internet at a large number of social network web-sites. Check me out on facebook, linkedin, goodreads, librarything and in the near future on Youtube, to name a few. We continue to develop more and more Internet Publicity.
