It is the last day of January. I am planning a trip to Florida to visit family and friends ... can't wait to be warm again.
We have just had our book, Wings to Fly, accepted into Chapters in Dartmouth and Halifax, NS. It is now available in 35 bookstores or other outlets in Nova Scotia and 2 in BC.
There will be a signing and draw (for a framed print of Joanne Chilton's) on Feb.07th from 1-3 at Chapter's in Bayer's Lake and a signing plus a draw for a framed poem in Dartmouth TBA.
I am doing a brief writing workshop on April 18,2009 at Alderney Landing Library from 10:00am to 1:00 pm that will explore my focus for writing from your heart.
Look for the resceduled Author's night to be held at Mount St. Vincent University, hosted by Lorri Neilsen Glenn, author and Poet Laureate for Halifax, 2005-2009. The public is invited to meet authors of books that were published in 2008. I will be reading from Wings to Fly.
My new website will be available within the next few weeks ...come back soon. If you haven't read my articles, go to my bio and have a look. You may find some valuable information that you can relate to your life. In sharing what we learn and experience, we learn even more. Share any thoughts you have about my writing or just any questions you have. How do you handle stress? Write me at jeanne.ripley@jeanneripley.com
Last evening,during a family/friends discussion, I was told that "My Mom called me and said she was reading Wings to Fly and started to cry because she related to something you wrote."
It felt good to hear that.
