Many thanks to those of you who were able to attend the CVFW Author’s Fair on the 21st. And welcome to you new subscribers who joined my mailing list that day.
The event was a success with 11 authors signing books for our fans.
To update you, this summer I joined a writer’s group called Central Valley Fiction Writers (CVFW). Saturday was the second signing event I have attended with them and at least two more are upcoming. The first will be in Manteca, California on October 12, and the second will be in Madera, California on November 16. I will shoot out more newsletters with details as each date approaches. I hope many of you will be able to attend.
On a sad note, I would like to acknowledge the man who first published my novels. Allan Kalar ran a small online publishing house called AKW Books. He lived in Washington State. Though we never met in person, after he retired (and I took over my own publishing), we remained close friends.
A few weeks ago I lost contact with him and subsequently learned that he had been killed in a horrific traffic collision with a logging truck.
Al was a dedicated Christian and not shy about it. He lost his beloved wife Sue a few years back and often expressed a desire to join her. I think now he has.
Thank you, Al, for all you did for me. I will never forget you.
