This week with Mary

Hello my friends,

I guess you can all see my photo with Ralph Waite, brilliant actor, beloved star of stage, screen and TV. He came to my book signing, along with his beautiful wife, Linda. The signing was held at Rancho Mirage Public Library and featured more than fifty local authors. My thanks to the Palm Springs Writers Guild who, along with the Library, sponsored this event. What a great boost for me and all the other writers. I was able to publicize the event a little bit when I appeared on Eye on the Desert with Patrick Evans, but I know that a great deal of effort went into advertising and resulted in a large number of visitors. I have been outrageously busy and have several radio interviews scheduled by my PR agent. And my Social Network specialist, Stormi, stormi@lightningbookpromotions.com has scheduled a blog tour in the month of April. I will tell you all about it when I am doing it. Also, a blogger from the U.K. and one from India, has already booked an interview. This Internet is a fabulous tool and I am enjoying all of the wonderful authors and readers I am meeting.

Hugs to everyone,

Mary Firmin, author Deadly Pleasures
