Proof in the Pudding

My mother has a fond saying when someone wants to question her. She always says, "The proof is in the pudding, what more do you want?" That statement has me thinking today. I just finished taping a show with Tim Thomas, host of Focus on Hopkins County.

As I prepared for the interview, I found that as usual, my hair was doing its own thing, I could have lost a few pounds beforehand, my clothes are attracting static, and my brain isn't working to its full potential today. Tim was a great host and made me feel comfortable as he asked questions relating to me as an author. It occured to me that my hair, my appearance in general, and my fuzziness of mind at the moment has little to do with my work. Whether a reader likes my work or not, the proof is in the pudding, not in my threads.

My daughter told me about a little girl she knows who was adopted from China.

Piper_8 I may have gotten writer's block before, but never do I get idea block! The following projects have left the idea stage and I am either writing or in the editing process of the following:

1. The Vintage post card book was released Oct. 17th and I'm still working on signings and that sort of thing. The book looks great.

2. Secrets of the Asylum is still in the stirring pot. I need prayer on how to direct about 10 pages and I'm done!

3. After the last production, I told myself I was finished writing stage plays, but after getting some rest, I got another idea. So, I'm working on something more lighthearted. The Story Behind the Masterpiece ended up being a really awesome production, but I'm ready to do something a little less dramatic.

4. Some of my fans have requested that I write another book about Elizabeth/Gabrielle. I'm thinking of just doing an update of their lives since we left them in the Wright and Wingold Series.

5. Lastly, I am working on putting together a writer's conference. This is still in the planning stages.

Old Airdrie

Airdire was a real place that inspired Lisa's historical fiction novel, A Mile Below Paradise, Lost City of Airdrie!

Only those who have had the privilege of visiting the remains of Airdrie know the depth of the historical mysterious appeal the forsaken city possesses. The sixty hand hewn stone steps that lead down to a formidable furnace is thrilling, although time has taken its toll on the staircase. At the bottom of the steps looms the amazing furnace that was the center of the town's celebration and also a symbol of its heartbreak.

The stone house with the inscription, Airdrie 1855, still stands as evidence of a people who built up a city and then abandoned it.

This site offers information and resources Lisa discovered while researching her novel, A Mile Below Paradise.

Dignitaries and important men and women either lived at or visited the Scottish settlement. You will be surprised to find out who once walked the woods of the city below Paradise.
