Asian street market in Pasadena

This Saturday, July 28th the streets of Pasadena will be filled with the excitement, sounds, smells and ambiance of a busy Asian street market from more than 150 vendors offering authentic foods, goods, music and entertainment of Asian culture. The event covers about a six-block area surrounding City Hall.

A lot of the streets around the market will be closed off, so take the Metro Gold Line to the Memorial Park station.  Go left when you come out of the station.  The street market will be about two blocks to the east.

Utterly shameless

This is definitely a ta-da moment!

I just published my first ebook, Write Your Memoir in One Day, on Smashwords and Kindle.  (Links are below.  You can get a free sample at both sites and you don't even need an e-reader to do it at Smashwords!) 

Based on a memoir writing class I offered for several years at a couple of California Community Colleges, this ebook gives you a fast and simple way to write an insightful mini-memoir--or write a longer one, if that is what you have in mind.  Not only will you get proven guidance about how to start, where to start, what topics to include (and some to avoid), you will also learn some writing techniques to make your memoir exciting and never boring.

I also include information about economical ways to self-publish your memoir.  Learn how to copyright it and why it is important and, better yet, super-easy!  Hey, you don't want someone to turn your uncopyrighted memoir into a blockbuster movie or bestseller, do you, and leave you out in the cold!?
