Adorned in Grace

Daughter is packing for college this week.  As we sorted through what she'll take, leave here and give away, realized she has a ton of formal dresses.  Some have been given to her from the daughter of a dear friend, most we've bought over the years.  She decided to donate them to Adorned in Grace  Bridal & Formalwear features donated new and used wedding gowns, formal dresses, veils, shoes, petticoats and accessories. All proceeds are used to bring awareness, prevention, and safe shelter to the problem of sex trafficking.

Promoting your Book

Interesting take on how to promote one's book.  This is an area I'm not good at.  I don't tweet (I know--gasp), I don't pininterest (another gasp) and I barely Facebook and I do have a Goodreads page, but don't know what to do with it.    Why, you ask?  Well, because I'm writing.  A book every 3-4 months.  And being a mom and wife and serve at my kids schools and have a life outside of writing.  I just don't know how people do it all!    But I've decided this fall I will take one piece of advice and try it before my next book is released in October.
