San Antonio Book Tour

Hi Everyone!

I spent Feb 20-25 in San Antonio and had a fantastic time. With the 80 degree temperatures, Riverwalk, Westin Spa and Resort, signings, and all the wonderful people I met, I couldn't go wrong.

Had signings at Lackland Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, USAA, and Barnes & Noble. A huge thank you to everyone in San Antonio who made the trip possible and successful.

A special thank you to Elena Marcum at Lackland, Patricia Krause, MCSS Manager at the Ft. Sam Houston Exchange (AAFES), Sasha at Barnes & Noble, and all the folks at USAA, including Mike Kelly, Gen. Robles, John Townes, David Bohne, Bob Lockett, Wendi Strong, LeVon Clark, and Rhonda Crawford. USAA is THE most impressive business I have ever visited. They're doing everything right. If you are in the military and need insurance, check out USAA. They will take excellent care of you! They took super care of me, providing me with all the comforts of home while I was away and much more! And I've been a USAA member for about 15 years.


Some other highlights--

Meeting Diane Cardile and April Payne for the first time. They will be featured in my next book, tentatively titled When the Girls Come Marching Home.

Spending time with Army medics Willi, Torres, and Stogsdill at Fort Sam Houston.

Meeting LtCol Kim Chaney, formerly of the 506th Regiment, and receiving his patches. I will treasure them.

Meeting the parents of three Marines--two female and one male--at the Barnes & Noble at San Pedro Crossing.

We need to keep ALL of our troops in our prayers. They're still in Iraq and Afghanistan, and they're still coming home with physical and emotional wounds.

Great trip all around!!
