Booksigning at the Belmont Mansion and MORE...

Whew! It's finally Friday. Been a long week but a really good one. Hope you're ready for the weekend and that your weekend will hold exactly what you're needing, whether that be rest or play time. Mine holds lots of quiet writing time (that I'm going to guard with my life!), and I'm really looking forward to it after this whirlwind week.

The Southern Style Facebook Party on Tuesday night was a blast! Thanks to everyone for attending and for all the fun banter. Y'all are terrific! And congrats to all the winners.

Here's a transcript of the party and all the laughter (and there was plenty!), and here's a list of the giveaway winners. Take a look at all the pretty faces of the party attendees too. And yes, even a buck-toothed llama. : )

Last night I was at the Belmont Mansion for a booksigning for A Lasting Impression. I met so many new friends and saw some "old" ones too. I so appreciate the mansion's hospitality and am grateful to everyone who came. Pics are on my facebook page, with more coming as I get them.

And finally, Rachel McRae from LifeWay asked me to guest blog today. I appreciate Rachel and all that she does to promote Christian fiction. She's a woman in-the-know!

And one more thing...

If you're a writer and you're interested in knowing more about dissecting novels, check out my guest blog at Southern Writers Suite T and learn why "the first cut is the deepest." Suite T blog is a great resource for writers and is pure pleasure to read (and look at).

Blessings on your weekend,
Tammy

P.S. I almost forgot! I had a radio interview this week too with the oh-so-funny Tricia Goyer. We laughed and laughed. Find out what makes me want to pinch myself and slap myself at the same time! (It's the November 17, 2011 interview.)
