My 2nd book, "The Wiccan Minister's Manual, a Guide For Priests and Priestesses" became live yesterday. I was hoping that it would have been available before the tour but there were several set-backs, so I guess it came out when it was ready. You can check it out here; http://www.authorhouse.com/bookstore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=50940 I like how the cover came out.

We made it back about 2 weeks ago and have been trying to get caught up on everything. It is suprising that nothing does fgor it's self when you are away. I have also been getting caught up on a mountain of email, plus working with the computer techs at DELL to try to resolve a problem with our computer. Part of the problem was the E drive went on the fritz the other part seems to be an error or glitch in one of the programs we use to burn CD's & DVD's. I made a movie of our trip and one of Annwn growing up from pictures after replacing the E drive. But making copies from the program we like to use for that isn't possible it has a glitch.

The tour went quite well, we sold some books and met a lot of wonderful people. While we were gone Authorhouse had been sending me the galley & cover of the next book to review. I completed the editing on the galley and got the cover worked out with them and finaly approved the final results yesterday. It should be coming out in August.

I also created a new page in our website and posted a few pics in there of our tour with links to the store or group

The discussion and workshop at “Goddess and the Moon” in Nashville was well received, and enjoyed by those who attended. They even took up gradituity collection afterwards; too help us out on expenses, which was most welcome. We met some really wonderful folks there, Tish Owen, a wonderful person is the store owner who is also an author and is probably the most well-know psychic in Nashville (there was an article about her in the Nashville “Who’s Who” type magazine) numbers among her clientele, Reba MacGynter, Trisha Yearwood, and Ann Rice. Lisa one the lovely ladies that work for Tish took some picture of us after the discussion, and Mary Hawk & Silverfox two of the wonderful folks who attended the workshop. Silverfox even acted as guide, giving the honor of following him through a short-cut through the city and through the confusing mess of the 3 interstates that flow together, guiding us out of the city and out onto 40 east where we could continue on with the 3 hour drive to Knoxville. Tired after a long day the 3 hour drive seemed to get longer about 70 miles out from Knoxville because of all of the “interstate closed ahead” signs we kept seeing. We were most concerned, as it seemed to be closed very close to our scheduled exit to out Hotel. Thankfully it wasn’t closed before we found our exit and we got checked in to our room very tired around midnight.

We very much enjoyed the warmth and hospitality of Trish as well as all of the great folks we met while hanging out there in the coolness of the AC. Annwn made some more friends as doggy ambassador and had a playmate there for awhile in the form of a sweet young lady of about 6 or 7. After the discussion, Tish and Annwn got into a wrestling match.. I think Annwn may have won.. but  Tish sure held her own, (though I think she may not have come away from the ordeal completely unscathed.. (I saw the red marks on her arms from tooth & claw.. ) But she enjoyed the battle as much as Annwn. We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone there again when time and finances permit, and highly recommend that anyone stop by and say howdy to Tish when there find themselves in the area.

Today I will be meeting with “The Sisterhood is Powerful” group here in Knoxville, of whom we are the guests of here in this Hotel.

Well we have safely arrived in Nashville TN and after some confusion due to some new road construction that had been done since our maping program was created.. (Exit 89 no longer exists by the way..) We found our Hotel and got checked in OK. Annwn is peacefully snoozing away in the AC dreaming of chasing birds back home. It has been many years since I had stayed at a motel and this is the first Hotel either of us have stayed in.. quite a fancy lay-out.. I guess I will spend the rest of teh day preparing for the workshop tomorrow, and after that.. it is off to Knoxville to another Inn and awother workshop on Saturday.

Annwn has been great with riding and with everyone. He even nearly had a sparrow land on his nose this morning. So he has been making friends along the way too.
