BOOK CLUBS
Three of my Sweetbriar books were selected for Guidepost's one-shot book club, two were chosen for Family Life book club, and Shipwreck! is condensed and packaged with Chuck Swindoll's Laugh Again.
TRANSLATIONS & RECOGNITION
Three Sweetbriar novels were translated into Dutch; the same three were transcribed into Braille. For the WA State Centennial, the Seattle Sweetbriar books were recognized on the "Washington State Bookshelf," and my first book, Sweetbriar, has been in the past a part of the Suggested Reading list for Seattle's fourth graders studying WA history.
SEMINARS
My cassette tapes on writing fiction and romance come from seminars I did for the Pacific NW Writers Conference. Six are packaged as Fiction That Sells, six Romance That Sells.
