Oct. 10-12, Southern Festival of Books...NOT!: Although I was invited to participate this year, I will be on my Greek cruise instead...darn! But I have tentative plans for next year, so here's info on event in case you're visiting the region. It's great fun and offers an amazing array of authors. www.humanitiestennessee.org/festival/index.php
Hot (and Not Yet) Off the Press: My newest title, MANAGING THE TELECOMMUTING EMPLOYEE with Michael Amigoni, will be published by Adams in early '09! For information on pre–ordering this title go to http://www.amazon.com/Managing–Telecommuting–Employee–Progress–Productivity/dp/1598698877/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220378997&sr=1–8. I'm also working on a number of other projects, among them a book proposal on surviving divorce in your fifties (although I'm only 39, yeah, right!) and trying to finish COUNTRY CLUB WIVES (one more chapter...well, maybe two). The divorce book is tentatively titled FINDING DAVID or FLIRTING WITH DISASTER: DIVORCE AFTER 50. Here's hoping for a major book deal (even a "nice" one).
