“Be (Extra)Ordinary: Ten Ways To Become Your Own Hero” sighting!!
At Barnes & Noble, Clark, New Jersey!
“A writer never has a vacation. For a writer life consists of either writing or thinking about writing.” — Eugene Ionesco
It’s so true that the writer’s mind is always going; even during a leisurely trip to the bookstore! Look what I found! Many copies of my latest book “Be (Extra)Ordinary: Ten Ways to Become Your Own Hero” right in a local Barnes & Noble! Hell, if I knew there would be a photo op, I would have brushed my hair! But here I am, in my laid back glory, pleasantly surprised!
Wishing all of you a loving February!
