Have you ever been a member of a book club? As a writer I believe it is important for us to constantly be reading. We need to know what is out there. We need to stretch our minds. Enjoy not just the fruits of our own labor but that of others.
I have a new book club which is going to be meeting at Barnes and Noble. Want to start a book club...here are 5 tips for you:
1- look for like minds. Interests can vary but a true love of writing should be a commonality
2- find a convenient location
3- choose a time that the members can dedicate to. share the responsibility of keeping the scheduled dates
4- be respectful. know that everyone will not share the same view points but the real value is in the dialogue
5- read books about book clubs so that you become familiar with the ways to successfully run and host them
Happy reading!

Raising a Reader for Life!
Something mystical happened on August 3, 2011...my baby got something special.
Her very first LIBRARY CARD!
This was a special time in both our lives. I have read to her since she rest peacefully and other times playfully in my womb. It is so very important to read to your children.
I captured some the precious moment on video and photos for you to enjoy!

Something About Stillettos
I was looking through my following list on twitter and noticed that two women authors that I admire had something in common. Yes they are both published authors who are well known for uplifting women. But that's not it...
Both use stillettos as a symbol in their writing.
Allow me to introduce you to two women you should get to know:
Shanel Cooper Sykes
Lynette Lewis

Now I don't know what it is about stillettos...but it sells!
Follow these ladies on twitter like me and discover all of their powerful tools and life changing books.
