Have I ever mentioned that you can follow me on Twitter?

Much ado about ... Much!
There is much to do! And I was just thinking that things might slow down now that I only have pears left to can. HA! (Love the new dehydrator we built a week or so ago to replace the plastic one that disintegrated after a few uses. Maybe I'll sell them in kits??)
Lea Schizas over at the Muse Online Writer's Conference keeps booking my presentation for Tuesday, October 14th at 8:00 p.m. I'd tell you to sign up, but registration is closed. Might want to put it on your calendar for next August - or July - to sign up early! Did I mention that the whole conference is FR*E? (Note to self: Write presentation to go with handout.)
Denise Cassino has me hosting virtual book blog tours for the next two Mondays. Check them out at The Review Hutch. Stop in to say hello any time after 8:00 a.m. You'll find the schedule on the What's Up Now? page at my website.
My editor at CEG may get cranky if I don't get this article written for him. I've already sent the photos. Sheesh. You'd think after three years of delivering on time every 4th Friday he'd have more faith ...
I'm working on my gift and decor business, appropriately named Linda's Gifts and Decor, in between emails today. Check out my store, then email me for a complimentary $10 gift card. I'll even pay the shipping on orders over $50 this month.
My office ... It will be cleaned and organized by the end of the weekend or, or, OR ... Can't stand it anymore. Can't help but wonder if I'll be invited back to do the 4th Annual Organization and Goal Setting chat this December at The Writer's Chatroom since I'm (technically) not on-staff anymore? Just wondering. (Probably not, if they saw this mess.)
Okay, back to work. Oh, I'm sending good thoughts to Karen Syed over at Echelon Press. She's got the mother of all colds. She's Twittering, but probably not getting much editing done today. Hope you feel better soon, Karen!

5000 books for Teddy
My website has been updated to include more links and helpful "stuff".
My pen pal in Poland, who is attempting to build a world-class library, is featured "In the Showcase" at my website for September. His name is Tadeusz Glowinski. You may read more about him here:
http://www.thesop.org/index.php?id=7495 "The Librarian Who Loved Books", September 23, 2007
When I first heard from this remarkable man, it was because he had somehow stumbled upon this website. He sent me the link to the article about him. I was impressed!
I wrote back to tell him that I found his dream to build a library in one of the most run-down neighborhoods in Poland a very worthy project. I also let him know that my wonderful step-father had emigrated from Poland. Hence his reply:
Dear Linda, my "Polish Sister",
