Sorry, but I’m posting this late. I let the beginning of February get away from me.

And unfortunately, not only did I miss the first OCC meeting of the year, thanks to a wonderful family visit, but I won’t be at this month’s meeting either.

Why? Well, I’ll be in New York City that weekend at the Dog Writers Association of America’s seminar and awards event. My first Barkery & Biscuits Mystery BITE THE BISCUIT is a finalist in the fiction category for the Maxwell Awards presented by the DWAA. I’ve got some fierce competition, but whether or not I win I’m thrilled to be a finalist. Plus, I look forward to meeting even more people who love to write about dogs.

The event is on Valentine’s Day. Guess I won’t be spending a special and romantic day with my husband this year, but he fortunately understands.

So–will I be at the March meeting? I certainly hope so! I miss OCC this year. And I have registered for RWA National in San Diego in July, so I’m sure I’ll see a lot of you there, too.

In any event, have a wonderful Valentine’s Day–a very special holiday to all of us who write romances.
