I updated my profile with just a little info about my two novels. An interesting tidbit about When Pigs Fly: I tried to get the Alamogordo Friends of the Library to host a reading back in 07. Their chairperson was enthusiastic until I sent her the first chapter. She responded that "they" weren't interested and couldn't think of anyone in town who would be interested in such a book. (There is a bad guy who does bad things and uses bad language. I tried to reassure her that there were also good guys who did good things and used good language, but to no avail.) The Friends in Las Cruces hosted me later, and I sold a half dozen copies. I've also had success marketing the book as "Banned in Alamogordo."

Incidentally, I write a monthly column for Southwest Senior in Las Cruces entitled "Local Authors, Local Books." The pub's owner wants me to expand the scope to cover all of New Mexico, so if you have written anything that can be tied into New Mexico, let me know.

Hello all,
I'm writing down here in sunny Las Cruces. Marsha, you and I have met at the El Paso Writers' League. Small world!

Hello all, my name is Jon Hovis. I just joined the group and wanted to say "hi" and mention that I have a booksigning event at the Rio Rancho Hastings on May 15th 5-8 pm if anyone is in the area and wants to meet me.
