Hello! I know I promised you a new, updated format for this site and it has been on my mind. Honestly, most of the delay is due to design issues. What I designed on my work board did not look good on the post. And then…my little laptop died with no warning. Today is my first full day back at my computer. AUGH!
Over Christmas, my daughter, Chanel, and I took an afternoon to see the gorgeous art exhibit at the Tacoma Art Museum. She’s holding me back because we were way too close, and we were both afraid that I might fall into that huge painting.
Geronimo’s Laptop:
Geronimo’s Laptop has been on the road the last few weeks. Most recently it has been at selected bookstores in UK and Ireland.
AudioBooks.com The audio version of Geronimo’s Laptop came out recently on AudioBooks.com
Podcasts: I’m hoping to post some of my podcast guest spots soon. They were a lot of fun!
What else is new? In my new sections planned for this site: Of course, every category won’t be addressed on each post. I know how valuable your time is! They include:

Shadows of China, Warren Rapelye White
In a strange way, this beautiful book reminds me of my grandmother, who had a large part in raising me. She used to say, “Make the family proud.” With this book, Shadows of China, Warren Rapelye White has beautifully documented his family’s lifelong Missionary experience in China from 1893-1940.
I originally chose this book because it mentioned on the cover that it covered the Japanese invasion of 1937…not realizing until I held the book in my hands it is so much more than that. This book is a gift to those of us who treasure the art of journalism: beautifully written, thoroughly documented with letters, sketches, photography, and news clips from the period, this book is a treasure in its content. Add to this the loving care given its production and design makes this proud book a stand-alone example of a beautiful book that is truly a work of art from cover to cover.
Favorite quotes.

I’ll be back soon!
