Today on the blog tour...
I'm being interviewed by my cyber-friend Eileen Cook (author of the excellent WHAT WOULD EMMA DO? and UNPREDICTABLE). Please stop by and say hi. Here's the link: http://www.eileencook.com.
Now it feels real...
THE BELLY DANCER came out last Tuesday, but with a new baby to take care of at home I didn't have a chance to get out and see it in a bookstore until Saturday. The thrill was definitely worth the wait, though! I couldn't believe I was actually seeing it, right there, face out, two titles down from my Southern California Writers Conference advisor Drusilla Campbell's BLOOD ORANGE (orange spine) and right above IN COLD BLOOD (I just saw "Capote" a couple of weeks ago and now have a whole new respect for this book).
The staff at the Barnes & Noble in Orange (791 S. Main St.) was wonderful about inviting me to sign the stock copies, and I'll be there again for a 6 p.m. booksigning on Saturday, Sept. 12, with a few of my OCC/RWA friends. I'll have more details on that by the end of the week, and I'll post them on BookTour.com when they're available, just in case you're interested or you know someone who would be ;).JPG)

Hey, look, I'm a success...
... well, at least I seem to be over at the UCLA Extension writers' program page :-)
One of the best things about getting published is having the opportunity to say thank you to people who helped make it happen. I had some truly wonderful instructors in the UCLA Extension writers' program, especially Phyllis Gebauer, Caroline Leavitt, Lisa Teasley and Susan Taylor Chehak. I feel honored to be recognized by the program, and also to be able to express my appreciation for their wonderful work.

The Publication Day winner is...
It's been a great publication day! I discovered more good reviews (Bookreview.com and BarnesandNoble.com, to name a couple) and that book sales are already strong. Yay :-)
For all of you who bought the book: THANK YOU!
I haven't had much time to soak it all in yet -- most of the day has been spent with the little one running to and from the post office to get the bookmarks and other materials out to all the people who have requested them from here and the belly dance forum on Bhuz.com, along with some bookstores around the country.
But here's the fun part of the day: giving away a belly dance hip scarf to today's lucky winner.
So, here we go:
Congratulations, Catherine; I'm e-mailing you now to get your address.
