Connie's Corner

Two for the price of one.

I just had the most wonderful afternoon! One of our author/members of WAG (Writers' Alliance of Gainesville) gave a book presentation (reading and signing) at the library today. I read his book about a month ago after buying it at the WAG Christmas Party, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, . I thought it was a creative non-fiction memoir, but he says it is written in the metaphysical genre. Having never heard of this, I looked it up as soon as I got back home...and I still don't know what it is . Does anyone have an explanation simple enough for me to understand? Anyway, the book was a good read and he is well into the second of a series.

And not only that, he is an accomplished musician/songwriter (guitar today, many other instruments too). We were treated to several songs and one in the "metaphysical" genre. I would try to describe it, but I'm afraid it would only sound like nonsense to you. It seems like he started out with a particular idea or problem, developed numerous solutions, ended up solving the problem satisfactorily to all, but in a different way than expected. I told you it wouldn't make any sense . With his second book he is going to include a musical cd, a very accomplished person. Some people get all the talent .

Afterwards, I stopped by Publix for a few groceries, mainly Mopsy's Fancy Feast. I did get some tostados and made some refried bean, shredded cheddar, and sour cream tostadoes for supper...yum.
