Facing Redemption Update

Image
So the cover for Facing Redemption is done. The final review is in (all glowing reviews), and I'm ready to roll.  Above is a teaser of what the cover is going to look like.  The model, who posed for the cover, is very easy on the eyes and will be at the launch party for photo ops with anyone interested. We're going to have live music, free appetizers, pics taken with author and cover model, and door prizes.  It will be a fun night. So far we've got a solid turnout but could always use more.  If you're in OKC on September 15th, come by Sauced, the best pizza place in the Paseo district.  While you're there, order a pizza and stay for a while.  You'll have a good time!

the best gift of all...

My son's birthday was this month, on the 11th. He turned the big four! My goodness, how time flies. He'll be 14 before I know it. We had a party at a huge indoor inflatable play zone that had every bouncing gym you could imagine. It even had a huge inflatable 16-foot tall slide. We had 16 kids and 45 people in total, with all the parents and our family members. I knew that with the number of kids that were being invited I had to change up the birthday rules a little. I asked lieu of giving my son 'birthday gifts' that they bring dog and cat food as donations to the humane society. A) I don't need a million more toys and games cluttering up my home that my son will soon lose interest in and B) I wanted to give my son the gift of giving back. Today we took an entire trunk load of dog and cat food to the animal shelter. I had a 20lb bag, 2 big 15lb dog treat boxes, and multiple types of smaller dog and cat foods. It was quite a loot, and it took 4 trips...
