Whirlwind Trip!

santa barbara 2 I went to California about 12 days ago.  While I was there I went to a wedding, a funeral (of sorts), reconnected with, conservatively, several dozen cousins, and immersed myself in research for two books. Or three.

It was a fabulous trip.

I’ll be talking a bit more about it as days pass – when I’m not immersed in writing Nick and Edie’s story.  But for the moment, if you want a taste of what I did, check out The Pink Heart Society for Tuesday where I wrote about Research by Immersion – and get a whirlwind tour of Santa Barbara while you’re at it.

Glad to be home.  Nick and Edie are raring to go.  But first I need some sleep!

    Glad you are back safe and sound. I cheered when I saw your name go up in the Ritas.
    Phyllis Whitney used to call her holidays — book research expeditions. Immersion research works as well.

    Thanks for the cheers, Michelle. I was busy cheering the bride and groom right about that time. Hope you had a wonderful time at RWA!

    A lot of my so-called ‘holidays’ are really ‘book research expeditions.’ I can’t imagine going somewhere these days and NOT somehow using it in a book. The ideas just flow.
