Two Events This Weekend
Here on Whidbey Island!!!

This weekend I will be participating in not one but TWO meet-the-author events.  It will be a long weekend and I’m sure it will be a BLAST!!!  (WIBC calendar of events)

Goose Community GrocerThe first of these two events will be at Goose Community Grocery on Saturday between 10AM and 2PM.  From the sounds of it they are going to have a number of local authors who’s books are featured in the store, and I get to be one of them!  Goose is located in Bayview at 14485 HWY 525, Langley, WA 98260.  I will have a supply of my recipe books and a pen if you would like my scribble.  Come out, I’d enjoy meeting you — let’s talk baking and cooking!  I’m pretty sure Goose will be having BBQ on Saturday.  There’s even a chance my fellow author, friend, and new-podcast co-host Tom Trimbath will be there, too!

After Goose will be going to…

Saturday from about 3-6PM, after signing books at Goose, I plan to be at the Coupeville Arts & Crafts Festival.  More specifically, I’ll be at the tent in front of The Kingfisher Bookstore — located at 16 Northwest Front Street, Coupeville, WA 98239.  I will be back all day Sunday 10AM-5PM again joining Kingfisher.  More books will be available as I help Kingfisher’s owner, Meg, and her staff along with other local authors.  Come on out, get some great books, let’s talk MORE about cooking and baking, and if you like I’ll happily put my scribble in your book.

NOTE — Kingfisher Bookshop, pictured below just got a new paint job.  It is now handsomely brown with yellow trim.

Busy July (2019)

Professional Highland Bagpiper Don Scobie
Yep — that’s me!

July is my busiest month of the year!  Usually this is due to all the events and dates I participate in as a Highland bagpiper while staying on top of everything else.  This year it seems like it has been a whole different juggle…

I just got back from the Seattle Highland Games.  These games have been going on for nearly 75 years and is the second largest event of its kind on the US west coast, held annually on the last weekend of July.  This year’s event was a long, hot weekend — and another great event!  For me it proved to be a good book sales weekend.

As I left Whidbey Island I delivered additional copies of Make Your Own Darn Good Cookies to Kingfisher Bookstore in Coupeville and at Goose Community Grocery in Bayview.  While in Enumclaw (where the Highland Games were) I sold a number of copies including some to veterans whom I give a military discount.  Something I’m particularly excited about is that I made contact with a friend of mine from my last round of college — Richard has a gift basket business and he is looking to feature my book.  More on that ASAP!  My book business went so well that I think I need to re-order for my supply.  If you’re interested in a book or e-book for yourself, please order on Amazon.com.  Also, my e-book is 25% off through July 2019 on Smashwords.com.

Usually my summer schedule begins to mellow after July.  For 2019 that doesn’t seem to be the case.  Coming up in August I will be …

All this while working to finish my next book.

… I expect to get some sleep come September.  Hopefully.
