Good afternoon peeps and perps! Welcome to the only author newsletter that wakes up in the morning and has a cup of coffee with its pancakes.

If you saw me at the Mesquite store on Faithon P. Lucas Sr. Blvd. last week, then you may already know I'm going to be on Galloway this coming week. That's right, starting tomorrow, July 9, 2024, I'll have my book table set up at 525 N Galloway Ave. in Mesquite, Texas. If you're going to be in the area, feel free to stop in and see me. You might even get your book signed (and if you don't have a book, you can buy one!).

The dates and times I'll be greeting customers and talking literature are below:

• Tuesday, July 9, 2024, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Wednesday, July 10, 2024, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Thursday, July 11, 2024, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Friday, July 12, 2024, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• Saturday, July 13, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Come on out and visit me!

Meanwhile, for you fiction lovers who haven't had a chance to read this yet, check out the first chapter of my work in progress, titled 1,000 Days for Abel.

On another note, if you've tried to access my website in the last couple of weeks, you may have experienced some technical issues. I have switched hosting companies and rebuilt the website. You can now find what you were looking for. If you can't, shoot me an email and let me know.

That's all I've got this week. We can thank God I don't have a bad case of the luggage. That would be one long, strange trip.
