Book affairs concern a big favor I have to ask. I just realized that Amazon Book Reviews are a very good thing to have. My big request is… would everyone who has read and enjoyed Pearls My Mother Wore go to Amazon and write a few (or a lot) of words praising the book?
Here is what you’d have to do:
Go to Amazon.com
Search for Pearls My Mother Wore
Click on the gold stars
Click on “See all reviews”
Click on “Create your own review”
Then the rest is up to you. You will have my eternal gratitude. Those gold star rankings and reader reviews could help get me and the novel noticed by a much broader audience.
Now for the fun. Lutrell and I went down the Pacific Coast for a couple of nights over the Labor Day weekend and stayed at a place called Coastanoa. It’s about an hour south of San Francisco, and the property is surrounded by three State Parks to the east and the Pacific ocean on the west side of Hwy 1. The lodge has a very Zen quality about it, which was lovely, but they fell a little short of being fabulous. Google it if you’re interested. What was fabulous was all of the outdoor activities we enjoyed.
Since pictures tell the story so well, here are a few that Lutrell took:
Sail Surfing
Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Mighty Pacific with lighthouse in the distance
Mountain biking behind Coastanoa into Butano State Park
Up Gazos Creek Road, 18 miles of lush forest splendor!
Back to the beach
I Hope you’ve enjoyed this pictorial essay. All is good. I’ll post again next Friday. Have a great week.
