I’m home after another rejuvenating week at the beautiful health resort, Rancho la Puerta, located at the edge of of Tecate, Mexico where the motto is Siempre Mejor- always better. Last week included lap swimming, hiking, practicing yoga, eating delicious food, admiring gardens, creating art, meeting new friends, connecting with old friends, taking a writing workshop, encountering wild life, strolling along brick pathways, spending time with Joe, leading a singing class, and performing a piano concert- “Music and Stories from Westward Expansion.”
While I was away, my new book was officially published- Music in the Westward Expansion: Songs of Heart and Place on the American Frontier. The book is available at McFarland , Amazon, or from your favorite book seller. And now on to my next adventure – book launching!





Hi Laura! What a beautiful getaway! Congratulations!!! I checked online and our local book store doesn’t carry your book … yet!!! Maybe you could do a book reading/signing here one day, it’s very popular independent chain here in Colorado called Tattered Cover. tatteredcover.com I’ll either grab the kindle or a physical copy asap! But how would I get a digital copy signed… I guess a physical copy it is 😜 📚 Can’t wait to read and listen 🎶 Big hugs and many cheers!!!
