7 Quick Takes Friday – Volume 85

Friday is here again (where did the week go?) and it’s time for 7 Quick Takes. Check out more fun Quick Takes at Conversion Diary.

1. Memorable Moments from the Catholic Writers Conference Live

Check out my recent post at the CWG Blog entitled “Memorable Moments from the CWCL.”

Treasurer and Conference Coordinator Ann Lewis and myself at the CWCL

2. Don’t You Forget About Me by Erin McCole Cupp

Final edits and preparations to publish Erin McCole Cupp’s upcoming novel, Don’t You Forget About Me, are happening as we speak. Erin passed out free tomato pie at the Catholic Writers Conference (and I must say, it was very scrumptious…I actually prefer it to pizza…although I usually stay away from wheat.)

3. Successful Kindle Marketing for the 21st Century Author

My presentation on “Successful Kindle Marketing” went well and the attendees even participated in a game called “Snowstorm” (second photo below).

4. We’ll Be Warm This Winter

Just received our yearly delivery of logs for the winter.
