I've been interviewed by Kjersti Flaa, a Norwegian journalist who writes for the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet (www.dagbladet.no). She's writing a feature article for a magazine called Magasinet about beauty scams and women's constant search for the right products. Kjersti contacted me after she read my article on "The History of Makeup". I'm happy to say she's asked for a photo and plans to quote me in the article.

My publisher, Behler Publications, advised that they've been contacted by a producer re; the TV/movie rights to The Bodyguard and the Show Dog. For now, I'll keep the name of the producer and production company to myself - don't want to jinx things. But please keep your fingers crossed.

On Thursday, August 10th, I spoke before the High Country Writers Group at the Watauga Library in Boone, NC. This is a great group of writers and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting them. They treated my husband and me to an overnight stay at the Gideon Ridge Inn in Blowing Rock Wednesday night, which was absolutely beautiful. We had a relaxing time and were so thankful for the chance to get away after our beautiful dog, Bradley, unexpectedly died.
