Count Your Blessings With Me!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I am thankful to be done with my forthcoming book and fiercely into editing. I wanted everyone to know that my Jazz CD, “Counting Your Blessings,” which I recorded with a full orchestra, is available online at Walmart for a unique Christmas gift. It is a CD of new arrangements from the Great American Songbook with the title song written by Irving Berlin.  Thanks for keeping it in mind as a gift this holiday season.

Counting my blessings with you this Thanksgiving,

Dwayna

Almost Done with My New Book

I am on Tip #47 of 50 Tips for single women today, so I am almost done with my forthcoming book. I had planned to have it finished by the end of last week but had the surprise of spending time with my two nephews and little niece. My niece, Jordan, loves to sing and play the piano, and we wrote a new song for kids together. Some things are more important than accomplishing my work goals, like spending time with my family. We had a great visit together. I am planning to meet my goal of having the manuscript to my editor by the middle of this month. I am thankful to be working with a top Random House editor and Random House typesetter and plan to take the book to women’s conferences and market it to nonprofit organizations all over the country. Because I will be getting marketing quotes for endorsements before it is printed, we are now planning to have it out by the first of next year. It is looking like I may be working with a top public relations press agent also to promote it. My 50 Tips for single women are soon to come!dwaynaJordan

Becoming Addicted to the Appalachian Trail

LeConte2leConte1I hiked almost twelve miles yesterday in the heavenly Smoky Mountains, up to the highest peak of Mount LeConte. I am becoming addicted to my newfound hobby of hiking gorgeous trails on the Appalachian Trail.
