This is the final day of Judith Briles Book Publishing Unplugged … and what three days it has been. Attendees had fun, worked, and definitely learned that book publishing and book marketing is not for sissies.

At the end of this week … I’m taking a few days off and taking my 14-year-old grandson to Alaska. I’m scheduled to be there twice this year. After a week cruise with him (yes, he’s doing the helicopter thing … and we have an amazing glass blowing workshop we are doing. Then, I’m planning on doing a rewrite on my book, When God Says NO. In September, I’m back in Anchorage to keynote the Alaska Writers Conference.
