The “Coming Soon” attractions on this site has been updated. I’m pleased with the trailer for Thunder Over the Prairie. The promotional idea came from the most recent edition of the Author’s Guild. It’s a new way of getting the word out about a new release. Hope it’s effective. Visitors to the site can let me know what they think of the trailer via email at gvcenss@aol.com. The men and women at the medical museum where I spoke this week were great. I was very nervous because the audience was made up of healthcare professionals and I wanted to make sure I got all the facts straight that were in the book The Doctor Wore Petticoats. Everyone seemed quite interested in the material and I was invited to submit an article to the medical magazine USC publishes. Wish I had the time to contribute, but I’m swamped with the Buffalo Bill Cody book, writing The Deadliest Accusation, promoting the Frontier Teachers book due out next month and the children’s book being released in December. During my lunch hour today I worked on press releases for a book that’s due out in June of 2009. 2009! There’s too much going on. My life seems to be running me. I started doing a hundred and one things shortly after my brother was hurt. I kept myself over scheduled to keep me from thinking about all the bad. Now I don’t know how to stop. I’d love to be on a beach somewhere with nothing on my mind but better times, the view of the surf and an impossible blue sky. If things don’t go as well as I hope for Thunder Over the Prairie I am going to consider another line of work. Maybe I’ll move to a ranch in Montana and ride off into the sunset. Of course I’d have to learn how to ride?.
