Shiny Bits Behind the Scenes Part 2--Little Yellow House

Did you know Dorie's house in Shiny Bits was based on my own little yellow house by the sea? Here it is...a nd as a bonus/extra: that amazing kitchen window I mentioned (along with a special musical accompaniment by Joe, my hubby!)  

Bolivar Peninsula Here I Come!

I made a recent trip to my beloved Bolivar to drop off some Shiny Bits paperbacks at a few local retailers. I took photos and video footage of my trip to share with my readers.  August 30th at 7 pm CST, watch my author spot at the  Literary Lockdown  Book Fair, hosted by Creative Central on Facebook for more behind-the-scenes of Shiny Bits In Between!  See you then! h 

Shiny Bits Collage

All these photos were taken on Bolivar Peninsula, Texas and reflect places and events in my novel. Each one of these images is a moment in my own life that ended up informing my writing of shiny bits in between --my homage to this extraordinary place.
