No Time for Blogging!

Due to a recent knee replacement surgery, everything in my world shut down but is now starting to look up; two weeks and counting post surgery and I am able to stand and walk without pain for the first time in forever. Now it’s time to get out and have some fun!

 

Times Record Column:

Recently I mentioned starting a column for our local newspaper, the Times Record. It is a bi-weekly piece which will fall next on November 21st and feature Radine Trees Nehring.  She writes charming, cozy mysteries featuring Arkansas Destinations. (Why did I not think of that?) The book I read, entitled “A Journey to Die For”, was set around the excursion train that runs from Springdale to Van Buren. Check out my column, as well as Radine’s books.

Book Signing:

I am going to have a book signing on Saturday,  December 9th from 1 to 4 o’clock at Chapters on Main Book Store.  I plan to have a drawing to give away two free books. I hope you will come out and say hello! Van Buren is trying to make it a special day, the excursion train will run all day and there will be lots to see and do. You might even find someplace to rest and listen to live music. Come meet this humble writer and say hello.

Happy reading, Linda

A New Book Store

When I think of a book store. 

  The book store of my dreams no longer exists, or so I thought. In my area most of the book stores are chains and cozy is not a word I would associate with them. I happened upon a book store in the nearby town of Van Buren. Chapters on Main is the store of my dreams. It is quaint, cozy and friendly with a coffee and tea bar in the back. All the things I have been missing in a book store.

They have both new and used books and a charm you won’t find in the chain book store. If you live in my area of Arkansas, drop by and take a look. I think you will find it an enjoyable place to shop.

On the local authors shelf you will find my book “Run For Your Life!” along with the book “Ozark Urchins” written by my new friend, Richard Cress. Richard gives you a look at growing up in the Ozarks during a different era.  Happy Reading, Linda
