Anyone see a problem here?
Dressing for author meet and greet @ucfbookfestival. Anyone see a problem with the black heels I packed at 5;00 a.m. in Luzianna?
File this one under No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Yeah, so I thought I'd stop in the middle of the madness and make my man a pineapple and banana creme pie because I have to leave him tomorrow to go to the UCFBookFestival in Orlando, FL. As you can see, it didn't quite make it to the fridge. Sigh. Hugs, Shellie AKA FumbleFingers

Sue Ellen’s Girl Ain’t Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy
Book trailers are all the rage. If you’re a big time author, your publisher will shell out big bucks to have one professionally done to market your next best-seller.
