Colorado Dreamin'

Colorado was wonderful to put it mildly! We got to spend time with our son(s), ...two of them, as well as our daughter-in-law and grandson. We crowded a lot in like playing mini golf, watching basketball, sightseeing in Boulder, touring the Rocky Mountain National Park as well as sitting around eating and relaxing. Ezra, our grandson, is now five months old and it was neat to see how he is growing and changing! Also we got to see the office of our middle son, Eli, at Colorado State. In addition, we shared his happiness at the news that Colorado State is sending him along with a number of others to Mongolia for 10 days in July!

But since this is a writing blog I should get to that. We spent five amazing days in Estes Park, CO. This has to be one of the prettiest spots in the whole United States. We attended a writers conference that has to win the prize for most scenic. It was also quite encouraging. I just received an email saying an article I took may be used by Women Alive! Come to the Fire magazine so that is encouraging. I was also in a non-fiction book clinic and thought it was excellent. My son, Ethan, was in a fiction class with Angela Hunt and Nancy Rue which he said was great. He also had a publisher interested in his Hebraic Roots book proposal. That is only a first step but it is hopeful. And John, my husband, made many contacts and learned a great deal about publicity for his soon to be published book, Earth Is Not Alone. It wasn't all work as we went on a fun hayride and had a campfire dinner!

Now we are back and John is hard at work on his website! Soon I will link to it....and you all can see how much hard work he is doing.
