| March 2009 :
Laura traveled to Santa Fe for the month of March, on a road trip, to replenish books in NM outlets, visit friends & writing buddies, have some impromptu signings, & hike in the canyons & mountains outside of the “City Different.” She spent quite a lot of time writing about & photographing these magnificent lands & renewing her creative spirit, to refresh body & soul for the upcoming year…
Promising Pete she’d be home by her birthday, reluctantly back to Virginia she came, kicking & screaming & even getting ‘stuck’ for 3 days in Amarillo, TX in a crazy ice & snow blizzard at the end of March. She was gratefully ‘adopted’ by Good Samaritans who gave her a loving ‘home’ while waiting out the storm. For this she sends her warm wishes & gratitude to June & Robert, two sweet Texans with big kind hearts…
And, in April, the signings begin again:

Southwest here we
come!! Laura & Pete travel to Arizona
this spring, to Phoenix,
Flagstaff & the Grand Canyon for hiking, signings &
exploration… The red rock
country of southern Utah may well find their dusty hiking boots
leaving tracks, as
well… And Pete will likely hire another
‘sweeper’ to hide any strays that might
otherwise cross their path… (Hmmm, have we another story
in the works?)
Okay, so it was a working vacation, too… Laura &
Pete sold two dozen books along the way, had an impromptu &
enthusiastic “mini-signing” of The
Kokopelli Journals at the beautiful
“Best Friends Animal Sanctuary” in Kanab,
Utah (paving the way for a larger future fund-raiser
for this dedicated & amazing group of animal
lovers…
Best Friends is the largest no-kill shelter in the USA…)
And:
June 12th, on Thursday morning at 10AM Mountain
time:
Laura was interviewed about the background behind writing
The Kokopelli Journals by the lovely
& lively hosts, Tanya Mock & Lew Rees of AZ-TV,
in Prescott, Arizona. After which, new friends,
Carole & Barbara, gave them a personal
tour of “Whisky Row,” downtown
Prescott’s infamous Wild West plaza, before
Laura & Pete headed on to the ‘northern
territories’… What a warm welcome to the Southwest
by all! Thank you!
