What a month October was!

I got to work on a range of texts, from finance to history, education to kilts. And I volunteered at Wimbledon BookFest and started a coaching course.

November contains a motorsport book, accounting text and a business book. I’m looking forward to it!

An absolutely lovely reception at the Louisiana State Library to kick off this year’s Louisiana Bookfest. And check out the cool wall of books, featuring covers by this year’s guest authors. (I see you, @denisekiernan.com !)

BONUS: shrimp gumbo and crawfish etouffee consumed.

IT'S FOR THE FILMMAKERS.

#JaredPadalecki is in this one, we know, BUT
I'm thinking he'll not walk the carpet because the very next day in Austin is the bookfest screening for #GuardingStars.

Don't know if this is a vanity award or a participation trophy. I don't care. In the face of constant rejection, this was well-timed and definitely appreciated. Thank you BookFest for at least acknowledging my work. #bookfestawards
