It's Launch Day!


Yes, the day I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived. Can you believe that I, Leona Pence, am now a published author? Pinch me somebody.

I’m planning a big Facebook Event soon with lots of cool prizes. I want my family and friends to celebrate with me. You are all invited— Instead of a launch party, it will be :

      Come  Celebrate With Me!
Date and Time details 
 Sunday November 3
12:30-4:30 CST



 Short excerpt:
They walked outside through sliding glass doors to the pool area.

“Would you like to go for a swim before dinner?”

“I don't have a swim suit with me.”

“We can skinny dip.” His eyes twinkled.

She grinned at him. “I don't think so.”

“There are a few more options. I could locate one of Katie's but...humm...I doubt
the top will fit.”

She picked up a towel from a stack and threw it at him.

“I can lend you a white tee-shirt that will cover you nicely.”

Stella laughed at that suggestion. She could tell by his face that he was visualizing
a wet t-shirt on her. “Next time, I'll bring my swim suit. I promise.”

They strolled around the pool and down a beautiful garden path that led to a
wooded area. A small pond came into view.

“We can fish for our dinner sometime in this pond. It’s well stocked and has to be
thinned out once in a while. Ducks are often gliding on the water. Katie loved to
watch them.”

“I’ve never fished before. Would I have to touch a worm?”

JB laughed and pulled her close. “No, I’ll be happy to bait the hook for you.”

  7. Woot woot! Two TV station interviews? You are a marketing genius as well as a writer! Wishing you all the very best in this exciting adventure. You probably thought you were all done once the book was released. The fun is just beginning! Enjoy!

  8. Thasnks, J Q. My daughter called the TV stations and was as shocked as I was that they wanted to do my story. Channel 25 & 19 --one bought out the other--so my interview will air on both. All three local networks plus the newspaper. I think Heaven is watching over me.

    Yep, as soon as my nerves settle, I hope to do some guest blogging. I know promo plays a big role.
