Season's Greetings, friends, family, and fans of literature,

My fall season was busy with book events and a bit of travel. Since I usually write while on the road, I've included a few of those photos too! Here are just some of the highlights from the last three months:

In October my husband and I traveled to the Oregon Coast. While Michael painted in preparation for an upcoming exhibit, I kept busy by writing and taking photographs!

The second Saturday of October I participated in the book festival Words & Pictures at the Cascade Park branch of Fort Vancouver Regional Library. Click here to read my blog post on The Legacy of a Library.

In early November my husband and I participated in the Clark County Open Studios. While Michael discussed his art on display, I signed and sold our Lindstrom Wintertime Tales. So much fun!

During the entire month of November, I participated in the National Novel Writing Month—or NaNoWriMo for short. Click here to learn about the 50,000 word challenge. I completed it!

My final book event of the year is an annual holiday for me, and my husband. Scanfair, in Portland, Oregon, has become a tradition for us; we've made so many friends there, and also fans of our books.

If I could, I would tell each of you—individually—how much your support of my work, and the work of my husband, Michael, means to me. From the bottom of my heart, "Thank you!"

Wishing you and yours, the love, joy, and peace of the season!

Victoria
