Chesapeake Visions in Print



Recently, the last book in my Chesapeake Heritage Series, Chesapeake Visions came into print. The book is available at Amazon.com, Kindle.com, Bay Country Shop (soon) and from me if our paths happen to meet.

I am going to be at the singles club meeting on July 14 in Easton and some of my friends will be going to cheer me on. this will be a chance to show my books in another county, so I was tickled to death when Nancy Seaman asked me to read for the group.

I am hoping to read at Layton's Chance Winery in Vienna, a new and prospering business in the county.

Last, I have approached the Innkeeper at the local Hyatt Conference Center to see if they might carry my novels in their gift shop. Got my fingers crossed on that one.

The last bit of news I have about my writing is that my newest novel Drama Queen Rules will soon be in print from Xlibris Publishing and that book will be available on their website as well as on Amazon, kindle and many other sites handling books and ebooks.

Drama Queen is a real 'girlfriend' book, the kind you pass around because you know Lainey Cook and wish her well in her quest to escape the trailer and have that better life that figures in all our dreams.

So, nurture your own dreams and keep on the sunny side. Terry

Green Show Inspirations.



In March, the Main Street Gallery on Muir Street in Cambridge will offer a 'green' show. As a participant in many of the organization's shows, I had no trouble thinking of ideas for things to make for the show.

The first project shows a display of dragonfly pins and combs that were requested at the last gallery show. The second project was a paper mache head that I painted with house paint and embellished with broken jewelry and pot scrubbers.

The last creation was made with an old framed print, lots of styrofoam, the corrugated paper from light bulb packages, candy liners, plastic votives and a bunch of things I found under the kitchen sink.

It is amazing all the things you can find when you are looking at stuff you should have thrown away.

That's all I know today. Hope these projects inspire your own green art. Love! Terry
