Well, I had an unexpected author interview just after my 50th birthday with the amazing Toni Lontis. If you’ve watched any of my previous attempts at interviews, you might have noticed my deer-in-headlights look. As an introvert, this sort of putting myself out there is nerve-wracking, to say the least. However, Toni knew this about me going in and worked her magic so that I didn’t feel the angst as I answered her sometimes difficult questions. Of course, I still had to spend several hours recharging my batteries after the interview, but I think it was worth it overall.
I did have some trouble with the earbuds my son lent me. They kept popping out randomly. In fact, the headshot of me at the introduction to the video has me holding my ear because the earbud was not staying put. Ahh! I could have worn my heavy-duty ear-muffer headset that I use to teach in, but I didn’t want to muss my hair. So if you see me fidgeting, that’s why.
The first half of the interview is about my experiences as an American female expat and the books I wrote for the A Woman’s Survival Guide to Rural Mexico series. Although I’ve talked about most of these experiences publicly before, I suppose I hadn’t realized how much trauma I experienced and how long it’s taken to finally work my way into a life I love and be ok with those unpleasant episodes.
Then, the topic changed to herbs, and you already know that’s a subject that literally lights me up–everyone that’s seen the interview has commented on how my whole demeanor changed once I started talking about plants. Yeah, so that makes me a bit of a weirdo, but I’m ok with that.
So if you have a mind to, you can watch the interview on Youtube:
One more thing about working with Toni Lontis…I know there are women who read this blog that have stories to tell. Toni’s multi-media platform encompasses a wide range of services for women, including personal coaching, business promotion, author interviews like the one I did, and genuine connections (she can help you find the person you need in your life at the exact moment you need it).
I’d like to encourage those women to set up a call with Toni to see how your stories can find a voice so that we all can be heard.
I didn’t sound the trumpets when the second volume of Animal Antics South of the Border was published in December because I was busy working on other things. So I’d like to remedy that and make a bit of hoopla as I formally introduce Nervous Nellies and the Puppers: Animal Antics South of the Border to the general public.
The animal hijinks continue in Animal Antics South of the Border book two. Ride along with the Flores family as they wrangle goats, sheep, horses, chickens, cats, dogs, and rabbits during the 2020 pandemic lockdown in central Mexico. From keeping the Grim at bay to raising Elvis’ love children, what could possibly go wrong on the ol’ homestead?
These fascinating animal exploits begin when an ordinary family of three moves from the suburban U.S. to rural Mexico and buys a donkey. Over the course of a decade, their animal kingdom experienced oodles of triumphs and adversities. Who knew bananas, red rags, and phases of the moon have so much to do with livestock success?
So if you’ve got a hankering for animal madness, then these are the books for you!
