F is for Flying #atozchallenge

I’m flying to Scottsdale for the Desert Dreams Convention. Teaching a couple of classes and looking forward to the reader signing on Saturday. I think I have only one suitcase close to the limit. I was smart and sent ahead my things, and I’ll send any unused books to RT in Las Vegas.

Having dinner tonight with my friend from Tucson Festival of Books I think 3 years ago now, and his wife. He’s one of those guys who has done things we don’t want to know about. LOL. I have used him as a source for several FBI and other law enforcement questions I’ve had.

So, #atozchallenge is now at the letter F.

I get a lot done on the plane and in the hotel room. Meeting my narrator on Friday, and we’ll be doing a class on audio books. After having worked together on 21 of them, I think we’ve got it down, but then we find something new just about every new project we undertake.

I am grateful for being able to fly to visit friends, to teach and to give back to the community of wonderful writers. It’s like fishing, and that’s another F word. I put myself in these places, and people show up, events happen and I learn something.

Friends is a good F word. Today I learned how to upload a movie file to my FB author page. Looking for a way to track it, and did not know the video is treated as an impression, rather than a click. I’ve got tons of videos I’d like to show off. And Facebook, okay, that’s another F word, likes them right now.

I like Free also. Free books, free first in series.

And, as I write this, I hear frogs. I love frogs for various reasons. I’ve got 12 tattooed to my forearm, one for every SEAL book, just like my characters have in the series. And I have a pretty one on my back, something that could have been drawn in the 1960’s. Love the color and the paisley symbols.

Flower Child. Some would make that one word, because it certaiinly is a THING! That’s me. This flower child has a small garden this year. And that’s another great F word:

Fabulous!
