Itchy Feet! Sept 2011

Time for new adventures.

 Nearly eight years here at Lake Chapala,

and I'm itchin' for new experiences.

New people to meet, new trails to explore,

new things to make me go hmmmmm. . .

Wanted!

Mexican Trailrunner seeks new trails.

Must be scenic, sunny,

and include indigenous peoples.

Must be in Mexico -

I dunno, German Trailrunner,

Singapore Trailrunner,

just doesn't have the right ring.

Ideas?

Open to any and all ideas. . .

Will there be sand between my toes,

mountain climbing boots, huaraches,

or a new pair of flip-flops

in my future?

Didn't he do a good job?

His name is Bronson Dunbar

Bronson was easy to work with,

fairly priced, and so creative and

willing to work with me throughout

the entire process that I kept waiting

for the other shoe to drop.

Know what I mean?

It never did.

Not only that, his dad is a formatter

and can help Indy/Self Pubbers

with their formatting for Kindle

and Smashwords.

COMING UP!!!

My next book, in the final stages of rewrite,

is a memoir of my parents love story,

their move to Honolulu, Hawaii in 1936,

and their early life in Hawaii documented by

my mother's letters home to her family

from 1937 thru 1945.

Here is the cover:

Old Friends - Sept 2011

Had the pleasure of the company of good old friends

from the Bay Area for the last week!

What a joy to wake up in the morning and start

up where we left off the night before.

Finishing each others sentences and

and responding with deep and caring understanding.

The other part of having houseguests from the states

is I get to see my pueblo, and Mexico,

through THEIR eyes.

And good friends. . .will tell you like it is!

PORTION EDITED OUT BY MT

On the brighter side, I have hired a cover designer

to add the professional touch to my Kindle book covers,

my second book is being reformatted for upload,

and the third is in its final rewrite.

Soon all 3 will be available on Kindle

and I will be able to start my fourth book.

I'll keep you posted on the good stuff,

not so much on the bad.
