Someone told me I should make a page for my books on facebook. I did not realize how easy it would be, so as of yesterday, it is done! Well, started. My publisher had called recently (well, one of their workers trying to sell me a publicity campaign) and suggested I make a fan page. I did not know about that. It seems kinda conceited to make a fan page for youself, but a page on my fb account did not seem that way. Maybe it is the same thing. I don't know! :)

the talk

2010-11-09T07:47:00.000-08:00

Monday, November 08, 2010 at 6:30 pm with author Belinda Jo Adams.

Mrs. Adams will talk about all 4 books she has written, but “The Lure of Alaska” is the latest published and the main character is from Georgia, so that will be the featured book for her program.

Book Signing

2010-09-10T11:53:00.000-07:00

I am sorry I never did post about the book signing in July. It went well, also. I met some terrific people as they came in to meet me, the author.

I am not used to having people want to meet me as an author. I hope I never get 'used to it'. I count it as an hornor and am humbled each time.

Friends of the Library

2010-09-10T11:50:00.000-07:00

The Friends of the Library in Waycross, Georgia invited me to speak at their meeting last night. To prepare for it, I bought the book: 10 Days to More Confident Public Speaking. It took me over a month to read the book, with working, etc. They had many good ideas in it and it helped me a lot to know what to do ... and not do. I prayerfully wrote my speech and prayed for God to only let me say the words He wanted me to say. I also had the opportunity to teach our ladies' Sunday School class a few times and that gave me 'practice'.
It went well. I was pleased how God led me as I spoke and gave me the nerve to stand up there in front of about 20 people, some of them being my relatives and friends. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to sell some of my novels.

And where is the gold Shane found? Will the old timer Cason meets be able to help him survive the cold winter of Alaska?

While waiting for Cason to return, Anna, Shane’s fiancée back home in Georgia, is worried she will be forced into a marriage of convenience to help her mother keep their home.
