Some writers are able to weave wonderful stories but don’t have the same talent when it comes to speaking skills. Not so with Mary – she excels at both writing and speaking. She did an awesome job today at the Clifton Park NY library, sharing her story, encouraging others to “Strive for their Dream.” It was interesting to hear how this Nebraska gal wrote for ten years without publication and now she has twenty seven books published! Hard work and a deep determination. She never gave up and now…she is living her dream.
Mary’s fun personality shone through her speech and the audience responded with a busy question and answer period, followed by a book signing. I admit I eavesdropped on visitor’s conversations after the session and am happy to report that all the comments were positive – way to go, Mary! Personally, it was an encouragement to hear of her writing journey and a motivation to continue to pursue the dream. I needed those words today. Thank you, my friend! Following a few more pics from the event.
Mary anxiously...um...I meant eagerly, awaiting her time to speak.
I'm so happy to have a fellow ACFWer in NY!
If Mary’s success has encouraged you, leave a comment to enter a drawing to win an autographed copy of her book, “Petticoat Ranch.”
My grand daughters and I are addicted to Mary books.
Love, love, love every book she writes.

I was at Mary’s presentation last Friday and I still have goosebumps over meeting her and learning about her books. I have already spread the word about her to three of my friends. Currently I am reading Montana Rose and it is an excellent story. If I’m not too late, add my name to the list of contestants. Thank you.

I’m so glad you were able to come! And thanks for spreading the word to your friends. Word of mouth can be the best marketing tool and I’m sure it means a lot to Mary.
