Queen Emma’s Palace awaits my book
31. October 2010 by janet.
When my new publisher asked me to do a book signing at Queen Emma’s Palace on Nov. 20th, I realized that I had a conflict with a workshop that I was teaching in Boston, so I turned down Queen Emma. One evening a few weeks later, I dope slapped myself and thought, change the date of the workshop. Thank you Boston Center for Adult Education for being flexible. So my first book signing of my new reprint will be at Queen Emma’s Summer Palace, which was originally built in Boston in the 1800’s and then shipped to Hawaii. Thank you Queen Emma. Can’t wait to see the only American royal palace. I hope they have tea.

Siesta Contest in Spain
22. October 2010 by janet.
One great thing about being on the road is listening to NPR, which reported how Spain is having a Siesta contest for the next ten days. The president of the Siesta organization spoke about how people sleep differently and how people are scored higher if they snore. If I was a best selling author, I would have gathered a group of friends, dressed in P.J.s and head for Spain, pillows would be included, of course.

The Miners in Chile
18. October 2010 by janet.
The CNN coverage of the miners in Chile being saved was some of the best television that I’ve watched in a long time, except, of course, Chelsea Lately on the E Channel. Harry Smith of the Early Show said, “That we all could relate to the miners, because each of feels trapped, maybe because of the economy or in other ways. I know that when I have to put my flip flops away each season and start to wear socks and coats, I feel trapped. Like the miners I’m lucky, because I get to use more frequent flyer miles to go back to Maui this winter, to work, to do book signings and beach research, but somebody has to do it.

13. October 2010 by janet.
I just found out today from my publisher, Island Heritage, I’ll be doing book signings for the NEW reprint of my book. I’m so excited that I’ll be doing book signings in Oahu as well as Maui. This makes the fall, November and December much more fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
