Food Blog Coming Up!
I got another encouraging response from an agent today in regards to my cookbook. He said it is a good idea but that I have no credibility as a food writer. (I guess all my reviews on tripadvisor don't count ha ha.)
Since I have no intentions of joining a restaurant or imploring the Food Network to sign me up, I asked him what I could do to change that. He very kindly and enthusiastically

Because it's cooler than buying a book online, right?
So...
Because it's cooler than buying a book online, right?
So if you're close by, I'll be going on tour in Northwest Arkansas (and Joplin, Missouri). With the anniversary of the Joplin tornado coming up, this is the perfect time for me to get into the public view, remind people of what happened, and raise money not only for Joplin but for other cities devastated by natural disasters.

New Year's Resolutions
Right, right, I know, it's that time again. Believe me, I'm rolling my eyes too. So instead of boring you with a list of resolutions that look remarkably similar to the ones I made last year, I'll just share one with you.
Send out my newsletter once a month.
So the last time I sent one out was probably, oh, a year and a half ago. I've always just kind of thought I don't have a lot to say, but I

Write much?
So from time to time I run into people I hardly ever see. Invariably the question comes out, "So you been writing anything lately?"
Am I the only one who thinks this is the dumbest question to ever ask an author? For authors, writing is like breathing. It's like eating. Would you walk up to someone and say, "Been breathing lately?"
It's a given. It's a duh.
But here's the low-down, for

The Best Little Conference You've Never Heard of
You just missed it for this year, so don't even bother pulling out your calendar or scrambling to fit it in. But this is absolutely the best conference this side of the Rocky Mountains. (I'm in Arkansas.)
Which conference is it? The Midwest LDStorymakers Conference.
It's new. You've never heard of it. This is only the third year and our attendance is less than 100 people. But let me tell ya, as
