Linda Rader Overman presents Pictures on the Wall of My Life

 

At the Hawaii International Conference on the Arts & Humanities I gave my talk on my new novel Pictures on the Wall of My Life...my personal paparrazo (husband Jim) did his best to catch the spirit of the talk and large crowds that attended....I was quite lucky to have interested viewers and listeners who participated in the talk and found the photographs I discussed interesting.

More importantly will they purchase my novel?
Even more importantly, will I find a publisher? I suppose I will find out when I finally get this novel out into the marketing world. Right now it is part of my PhD through Lancaster University.
Somehow presenting in Hawaii just makes everything feel light, breezy, and full of sun. Hmmm...Now that my presentation is complete...mai tai anyone?
