Today: deadlines and plenty of them.
Tonight: family dinner:
Tomorrow: Ever hear of the play Bell, Book, and Candle? Well tomorrow, it will be Denise, Book, and Candle.
Lots of books. And lots of candles (Just one "me.").
As WriteOn Joliet continues with its Author of the Month program at The Book Market in Crest Hill, one author had to step back, so I stepped up to close the gap.
I will be at the book store from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a wide selection of my books, including titles not yet up on the website. I have books for all ages, so please stop and browse, both my titles and the wide array of new and used books The Book Market offers.
I will also be selling homemade soy candles in five BryonySeries scents (bryony, purple rose, Sue's Diner, Lake Munson, and Simons Woods). My candlemaker has lung cancer, so my goal is to keep selling entire the entire stock is gone and she has all the money from her efforts.
I will also have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Drinks and conversation are free, so please stop in and say, "Hi!" I would love to meet you in person.
The Book Market is located at 2365 Plainfield Road in Crest Hill. If you have any questions, please message me at bryonyseries@gmail.com.
Have a wonderful Friday, readers, writers, and vampire fans!

Take a break from canned tuna Try some new ways to enjoy fish this Lent
I asked two of my adult children who work in the food industry for a few of their favorite fish recipes. Rebekah Baran shared the salmon dip recipe with me; Timothy Baran shared the rest. All the recipes are easy to prepare.

Baran-Unland: Why food – or its lack – part of the Lenten season
Sometimes, the greater asceticism is not about abstaining all together, but eating a little and then stopping.

"Flowers can even give people a moment of happiness
during a time of sadness," Karen Johnson, floral designer, said. "It truly is a timeless gift
that I believe will never go out of fashion."

Non-bylined features:
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works - brief posts and calendar listings - into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.
One can also find those event listings, the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."
Community news? Again, under the sections tab, under features, and by topic. Updates are posted on these days in print and web (and some only on web on other days as I have the time): Monday (pets), Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (arts and entertainment), and Sunday (people).
Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.

Beyond candy bars and magazine
Mattress sales are the trendy new way for Joliet area school
programs to fundraise
"That's the beauty of it," Mike Kotze, the general ways and means chairman for the Lincoln-Way Music Boosters, said. "We don't have to do much. Our other events call for a lot of student and parent volunteers. You don't want to wear people out asking them again and again and again. With the mattress sale, we just have to get the world out and the company takes care of everything else."

Using scents and colors to bring happiness to all
Local floral designers will create onsite at 20th annual
show in Manhattan
Artworks: The places where creative people go
Joliet area has resources for artistic fellowship and creative development
I've also since discovered the joy of camaraderie among
others who also enjoy spending hours alone crafting words few people will probably
ever read.
