Greetings Folks! My book signing is tomorrow, Sunday, December 7th, at Cominichi's here in Santa Barbara. My latest book is my fifth book about Louisiana. (www.bayoutales.com ) Ms. Shannon of the Independent Newspaper interviewed me recently. She has a really good ear.
I would add, however, that I did spend a great deal of my youth attending services at the Methodist Church. Also, Sunday School, MYF and Rainbow Girls, were all part of my socio-religious activities. I still have the same friends that I met at Vacation Bible School when I was a little kid. My mother no longer attended Catholic Church services but she said God was inside of her heart and her front porch was her church. Of course, mama's spirituality combined with my dad's old fashioned Do Unto Others advice, made for a balanced upbringing. I was blessed.

I would like to buy and read your books. How do I buy them?
Bobbi K. I'll message you in a bit - I am sold out of one of them. I have to put notice in my web site. Thank you Miz Priscilla and have a great trip!
Thank you Sue D. thank you Alison, I'd love to see you both!!
Marianne M. Thanks so very much.
Ron, Oh you're such a good writer - I look forward to hearing about your book signing! When is it? Thank you all! Salud
Gather always offers me such pleasant surprises. To find out that you are a much published author of these regional tales and images, as well as the fact that you and I started college in California at the same time (I went to Pomona College from 1976--80, and my roommate my senior year, Brian Maddox, attended UCSB during the same time as yourself) pleases me to no end.
Un beso desde España.
Now you're found - a fitting comment for the author of a book of beautiful photos of church-goers - thanks for sharing. Good Luck at the book signing tomorrow!
I am Proud of you and proud to call you a gathering Friend.
I LOVE the photo. I have your website saved in my favorites, and I'd better get on it, else I won't get those books before Christmas. Is there a way to get them autographed by you?
I hope you have loads of fun tomorrow.
You know, I just thought about something: my buddy and I from New Orleans were so engrossed in our grief about A.T.&T., and the layoffs that I completely forgot to mention your books to her. My bad. Next time.
When I write this I am thinking about the so many children raised up in a non loving space.
Love and joy
I hope that your book is a smashing success (no doubt about that from the success of your other books)! I need to get this one and all of them!
Paz, Dinero y Amor!
Abrazos y Besos!

I've no doubt that this book too shall sell out. What else would one expect? I too would like to know how I can buy your book? Is the information on your website?
Abrazos y Besos.

I just wish some our churches would rejoice like the Southern Baptist Church's do.
Steph: I am not sure about the next book right now - I have several started and a couple in a prototype form but I have so many things going on - anyway, not sure!!! Thank yall for commenting. Salud
