The party’s at Bridgette’s …

March 22, 2012 by Patricia Sands 12 Comments

Okay, a few weeks ago I promised I was only going to post on my blog twice a week and since then I’ve broken that promise several times. I’m sorry … I’m a big believer in promises so this does not make me feel good. With your permission I’ll retract that promise and simply say I’ll TRY not to blog more than twice a week. I know how busy y’all are and you don’t need me popping up in your mailbox every day.

It’s just that there’s SO much great stuff to talk about!

Like this, for example – Today I’m hanging out over at Bridgette Booth’s blog again and we would love it if you would pop in and see what’s going on. We’re still recovering from the brunch she slaved over  threw together for us yesterday. That lady knows how to deliver a party – sharpies, paper plates and jalapeno kolaches – all served up with that special brand of Texan hospitality! We did have more than a few laughs!

Bridgette is one of my fabulous WANA sisters from Kristen Lamb’s Blogging For Your Author Brand course last summer. On the surface she seems kind of shy but underneath that quiet exterior is a real firecracker and a fine human being whose writing simply breathes energy.

In spite of the fact she is busy working on her own manuscript and homeschooling her children, Bridgette – avid reader that she is – pulled The Bridge Club off her TBR pile and decided we needed to chat. She always finds time for her friends and we’re glad she does. Come on over … click right here … there may even be a few of those delicious kolaches left!

    Those look yummy! (I’m afraid I know what mine would look like, if I dared try, and they were not be evenly shaped and browned on the outside.)

      Thanks for stopping by. I’ve had a hankering for them ever since Bridgette mentioned that’s what she was serving!

    Life is meant to be malleable, so no worries on the promises! Great interview at Bridgette’s… you both are fantastic women.

      Kristen, it’s so weird to receive a comment from you now as this post is from 2012! But never mind, I’m delighted to hear from you anyway. Even though I don’t get around to commenting on your posts often, I read them all. I always refer to you whenever anyone asks how I got started because had it not been for your WANA blogging course, I’m not sure I would be where I am today when it comes to writing. Your guidance was critical in getting me blogging effectively and connecting with the wonderful group of writers that have stayed together as a group ever since the course. So thank you once again. Here’s how cool things are for me. Sales of my two novels are ticking along at a pretty consistent level. I am about to publish my third, which will be a follow up to my second thanks to tremendous reader demand. Right now I am in the south of France in the midst of leading the second of two ten-day tours for women that were developed based on my novel, The Promise of Provence. http://womenstravelnetwork.ca/promenade-en-provence/ Just don’t look at my blog right now because I’m a tad behind! So, again, THANK YOU! XO
