Book Festival at the Oaks Mall on April 9th, 2022

I will be selling my children's book (The Dragonfly and the Ladybug) at the Sunshine State Book Festival in the Oaks Mall on April 9th, 2022. I hope you drop by and say "hi" and maybe buy an autographed copy.

Welcome to Connieann's Corner

Rest your fingers for a while, lean back, and relax. I've been writing for a few years and have had short stories published in ezines , print magazines, anthologies, and a couple Chicken Soup For the Soul books (The Cat Really Did That? and Running for Good). I'm currently working on a memoir that includes some of the stories available here on my blog.

I live in North Central Florida. I hope you will read a bit, and we can get acquainted.

When I hit a block in my writing, I turn to art. Although not very good, it gives me great pleasure, and I can get "lost" in it just like I do in my writing.

So grab a cup or a glass of whatever rocks your boat and nose around a bit. But don't waste too much time because today only comes once, and I know you have important things to do.
