Guest author tomorrow- Peg Herring

I am pleased to announce that mystery author, Peg Herring, will be my guest tomorrow. She has been doing a blog crawl for the month of February, guesting on a different blog each day with new content. Wow, what an amazing endeavor. I am hard pressed to keep up with this blog and the three others that I regularly contribute to.

Topics have varied along the crawl, but Peg seems to enjoy "playing with words." She has done some fun posts pointing out the idiosyncrasies of the English language.

Tomorrow, Peg will share Eccentric Phrases, and I hope you will come back to read her post. It is a lot of fun. Plus, Peg is giving away weekly prizes, as well as a grand prize at the end of the blog crawl.

Her schedule for the rest of this month is:

March 1-Final Drawing for Prizes from All Entries

I'm getting ready to go to the "Take 190 West Art Festival" in Killeen, Texas this weekend. I have never been to the event before, but I've heard it is terrific and I'm really looking forward to it. The festival is free to the public and runs on Saturday, Feb 27th from 10 to 4. I will be signing copies of One Small Victory. Other authors will be there, too, and you can check the Festival Web site for a full list of participants.

In addition, there are lot of talented artists who will be exhibiting their work, and it is always fun to spend time with others in the creative arts. Some people believe that all artists: performers, painters, musicians, writers, sculptors, photographers -- share in one creative consciousness. There is no scientific data to support that theory, but I do know that I am much more productive in my work after I have spent a weekend with others of the creative bent.

If you are near Killeen on February 27th, stop by the Killeen Civic and Conference Center and meet all the artists and authors.
