BookMail, Upcoming Events, Staying at a Hotel

Thank you so much L. A. Boruff for sending this great BookBox. An excellent selection and some great stickers. Cannot wait to get some time to start reading bookmail. My two daughters and granddaughter have already laid claimed to some of the items. Of couse, that may not happen until April or so.

The Sunshine State Book Festival is fast approaching. I volunteered to create author promo videos and in return the authors stayed to participate in my Jolene's Book and Writer's Talk Podcast. The ads will be created and shared on the SSBF social media pages prior to February 1, 2025. The podcasts are, out of necessity, are not being editing and uploaded until after the show. Between my school schedule, recording, editing and posting schedules there just isn't any time left over to edit the 20 to 40 minute shows. I have also created videos for the Teen Lit Contest, the Writer's Workshops and A Call Out for Volunteers. Finally, I will have to do a "Thank You" to the Sponsors video before next Friday.

With the arctic blast that blew through the south this week we almost got some snow her in Suwannee County, Florida. Parts of the panhandle did get snow for the first time in a lot of years and I am enjoying the videos being posting. The temperatures still dipped down below 32 for quite a few hours but, so far, none of our pipes have burst, all of our pets sleep indoors and we only have a handful of plants. Stay warm out there people. We have a couple more of these happening before spring comes to the south.
