Jodi’s Morning Musings

Today I hit the New York Times list. It felt grand. When I first started writing I bought a t-shirt at a writer’s confence that said, “NYTimes Bestseller in Training.” I wore that shirt hundreds of late nights of writing and slept in it so many times it finally wore out. I’ve hit the list before, but every time is like the first time. It’s a twenty year goal come true. I’d like to thank all my fans who gave TWISTED CREEK at try.

I was in Las Vegas this weekend and met some great people. The Henderson Library talk with Robyn Carr was great fun and I loved the Red Hat Lunch Wendy Arnold helped me set up. What a great group of ladies!

Next week I’ll be in Santa Fe.

One week to go before Twisted Creek comes out. This book was wonderful and hard for me to write. The characters came to me almost as if they sit down at my desk and helped me write the book. I feel this is a story everyone will enjoy because it’s about life. The good, the hardships and the confusing. My wish is that readers will laugh and cry with my characters until the end, then they’ll buy a copy for a friend.

Check out my schedule, I’ll be traveling in April and would love fans and friends to stop by for a visit.

Read all my previous blog entries!

Welcome to winter! I love cold days when I can stay inside and read, but these are few and far between.

I’m excited about a short story collection coming out February 1 that I did with three dear friends. GIVE ME A TEXAN will keep you warm on a cold day.

I’m starting to book autographings for April. Because TWISTED CREEK is such a special book, I’m planning to do lots of small groups like book clubs.

Hello everybody! Even with a broken wing, I’ve managed to finish Teagan’s story, and I think you’ll love him. The story was great fun to write even if I did have to go slow. It will be out in November 2008. No title yet! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
