It's actually going to happen. I am having a book signing at Highlands Cafe here in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 4-6:00 p.m. I met with the very sweet women of Highlands Cafe and we decided to serve spinach dip and tea to the hungry hordes who que up for the signing. HAHAHAHAHA. Here's hoping SOMEONE comes! I've ordered plenty of books and Scott will be there to help me sell, plus a couple of the kids. Then after that we will head up to Uncle Julio's where Molly is a manager and enjoy a family birthday dinner for Scott--who's turning the BIG 6-0.
A great day! Can't wait.

Excitement for Fall
So long since posts, but things got really busy after school started and now it's crazy indeed. PLUS things have really heated up for A Hot Time in Texas. I will be having a book signing in Dallas at Highlands Cafe, a sweet dining spot in our community, on Saturday, Nov. 21 late afternoon. I'm hoping everyone who hasn't ordered a copy of Hot Time will stop by and stay for dinner. I'll also have copies of Drum, too, plus I would love to sign copies already purchased.
And as if that isn't exciting enough, LakeHighlandsToday.com is doing an interview and will post it online the week before the signing. Woohoo!
AND the Dallas Public Library may purchase the books for all the Dallas area libraries. Wouldn't that be amazing. My little books in the library!
More to come, but that's it for now!

A Hot Time in Texas Makes it Debut
At last! My second book from The Wild Rose Press is here! A Hot Time in Texas is a late summer sizzler set in the fictitious town of Howard, Texas and, well, I'll let the new review tell you all about it. This is what The Romance Studio had to say:
"Ms. Cindy Causey has written a wonderful book about a couple who both wanted something so badly they couldn’t see any way for compromise. The main couple was so attracted to each other. The chemistry sizzled and the conflict was electrifying. Causey created two people with their futures already settled who had not counted on love getting in the way. These people were so well written it was as if I was in the tiny town of Howard living with them and all the chaos as it presented itself.
The secondary characters were adorable, especially Ethan’s mother. This small town, written in Causey fashion, simply drew me into its clutches and made me want to live there. Even knowing how things were progressing, there was myriad of surprises and laughter (as well as tears) written throughout this manuscript. The story was fast-paced and I couldn’t stop turning the pages.
I recommend this book as a good read which will leave great feelings long after the last page is read. "
And here's the new video trailer for Hot Time.

High-Tech Workshop
This past weekend I had a great time presenting a workshop on building websites and book video trailers to the authors at Dallas Area Romance Authors, a chapter of Romance Writers of America. I took my tech guy, Scott, with me because I had designed a multi-media presentation with DVDs, Internet, PowerPoint, and sound. It got pretty complicated, but worked great. We only had a couple of glitches (like losing the Internet connection) but, hey, it was a great time for a bathroom break while we fixed it. About 60 writers, very enthusiastic and they laughed in all the right places. Thank heavens. Here's a picture.

It's a Hot Time in Texas!
My second book, A Hot Time in Texas, is available on Amazon.com----3 weeks early! Hard to believe it's already here. I haven't even been able to finish all my promotional ideas for A Different Drum and now I need to start on the second one. Who'd would ever have thought that I'd have THAT problem! What an embarrassment of riches.
I feel so blessed this summer with all that's happened with the books and the documentary for Good Sam. I'm just trying to maximize the potential of all this. I would hate to feel like I did with Cherish that I just never did enough.
So, here I am, thinking I will keep a low propfile about Hot Time for a little while until Drum gains a little more ground.
So everyone, keep it under your hat.

Incredible Review for A Different Drum
The release of the book has been amazing. Several book signings and parties with friends and family. And yesterday I got an incredible review from an online review site call Between the Lines. The reviewer Jade Ryan gave me a TOP PICK, which I've come to understand is rare --better than 5 stars!
Here's an excerpt and link to the whole thing.
"About one chapter into this book, and I was hooked. I snarled at my children who dared draw my attention away."

I'm on cloud nine about this and wanted to share with all of you my great news on this crazy wild journey.

At Last!
The book is here. Well, not here exactly since my author copies haven't arrived yet. But it's THERE. For sale on The Wid Rose Press.com (here's the link)
http://www.thewildrosepress.com/a-different-drum-p-1260.html?zenid=8b2a81d844f9c1de0fd3eeabafc0eef3
and Amazon.com. Here'sthe link:
http://www.amazon.com/Different-Drum-Cindy-Causey/dp/1601544502/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243786212&sr=1-12
It's complete with a review from the fabulous LJ who was the first one to get a copy. I've spent the last couple of days, between working, trying to get the word out via about 2,000 social networking sites and vehicles. GEEZ. I wanted to post a little more info here, so I needed to wait until I had the time.
I put up the trailer on YouTube. Here's the link, in case you haven't seen it a thousand times already.

I have to say the whole thing is a little overwhelming. It's the ending (or the beginning) of a really long journey which started when I woke up one morning in 1995 with a story in my head that had to be written down. I never fancied myself a fiction writer. That was the year I sold my serious non-fiction book.
Fiction is so, so made up. It's fanciful, fun, and frolicsome--at least in my head. I know there are serious fiction writers out there who can make me cry and think and change my mind. But that's not me. I'm afraid it never will be. Oh sure, I have serious thoughts, God knows. But I save those for my non-fiction writing. My fiction will forever be light, airy, funny (I hope) and quirky.
I hope you'll check out A Different Drum. I hope you like it. I'll hope you'll come back for more in August when A Hot Time in Texas will be out.
So, the original purpose of this blog was to follow the process of getting a book published. That purpose is fulfilled and now Sensible Shoes will morph into ---who knows? I appreciate those of you who have followed along. I hope you'll stick around for whatever's next.
