Spring Flowers!

4/22/08 Benson, AZ

Spring has come to the desert, and warm, sunny 80+ degree days prevail. Due to extremely low winter rainfall, the cactus and wildflowers are slow to appear here in our area.

However, this time of year brings back memories of many lovely wildflower displays we have witnessed and filmed during our travels. I would like to share a few of these photos with you. Some I know the names of, others I do not.

Our 2007 Travels: SKP Escapade, Stockton, CA

Here are some photos from the 2007 SKP Escapade in Stockton, CA this April:

My first four books were featured at the SkP Escapade.

 

Here I am at the RV Authors’ Co-op booth.

 

 It was a busy place!

 

I loved having the chance to share my books at the SKP Escapade.  Thanks to all of you who stopped by the booth–giving me the opportunity to meet some of my readers and make some new friends.

Meet me at the Spring 2007 Espcapade: April 21 – 25

My first four books–Canadian Summers, Meanderings in the West, Southwest Adventures, and Exploring the Southeast–will be available at the Spring Escapade in Stockton, CA on Saturday, April 21 through Wednesday, April 25, 2007.  I look forward to meeting some of my readers, answering questions, and autographing your books.

The RV Authors’ Co-op was formed as a loose association of RV authors to present and sell books at the Escapees RV Club’s Escapade and other RV events. The authors have found that booths at RV events are often more than one author can afford and attendees like to find a good selection of books together. Thus the idea for a co-operative was born. Neil LeKander, Alice Zyetz, and Jaimie Hall formed the co-op in 2005 and had our first event.
