From Stephanie's Desk
  
May 2008

  Hello!  As I write this, I'm getting ready to leave town to head to Louisville for Kentucky Derby festivities.  We have tickets to the Oaks Race Friday, and will be attending a couple of parties Friday evening, so I packed my dancing shoes.  My husband is from Louisville so Derby is a big part of his life; we always enjoy going back.  My "system" for betting the horses?  Simple--bet on any horse with a name that has something to do with books or paper or writing, such as Book a Dream or Signature Song or Paper Boy.  Wish me luck on my big two-dollar bets!

  The weather in Atlanta, though, is almost too beautiful to leave.  I've been working on the balcony and patio more and more.  It's such a refreshing break after being cooped up all winter.  Also, since I'm taking a break from running after finishing the half-marathon at the end of March, I'm back to walking and doing other types of exercise I enjoy, which includes writing while walking on the treadmill!  I can walk about 3 mph on a slight incline and still write quite comfortably on my AlphaSmart.  Talk about killing two birds with one stone--the exercise seems to go by faster because I'm writing, and the writing seems to go by faster because I'm walking.  I can usually write about one page per mile while boosting my metabolism!  (My husband pretends he doesn't know me, though.)


Cleveland bound!

If you live in the Cleveland area, I'll be a guest speaker at the North East Ohio chapter of RWA (NEORWA) annual conference May 16-17, presenting the following workshops:

“The Key to Consistent Sales:  Self-Editing” 

 "Mind Your Own Business (Writing Business, That is)"

“The Difference Between a Good Book and a Great Book"

There will be a booksigning open to the public; I'll be signing my two Body Movers books.  Please come and bring a friend!  Other speakers, editors, and agents will be in attendance! 
For more information, click here.

 

     Coming Tuesday, June 24:

    

   The mass market (small) paperback version of
Body Movers:  2 Bodies for the Price of 1
will be released Tuesday, June 24. 
If you missed the trade (oversize) paperback version,
here's your chance to get it again! 
(Or to turn a friend onto the series with paperback versions of books 1 and 2!)

Pre-order Body Movers:  2 Bodies for the Price of 1 in mass market (small paperback) from Amazon.com now!

 

 

 

The story behind the quote on the cover of
Body Movers:  3 Men and a Body

The quote on the cover of my first Body Movers book was:
 
"This is the best book I've ever read!"  Stephanie's mom

It started off as a joke, a mockup cover my husband did to express some ideas we had for the cover.  But marketing liked it and it caught on.

The quote on Body Movers:  2 Bodies for the Price of 1 was:

"What a great book!  I'm so glad my wife made me read it!"  Stephanie's husband

So, in keeping with getting (unbiased) cover quotes from people who are near and dear to me, the quote for the third book Body Movers:  3 Men and a Body, my dear first grade teacher, Ms. Alice Sue DeHart lent me a quote:

"I knew murder was in that girl's future!" Stephanie's first grade teacher

Thank you, Ms. DeHart!
