Have a cuppa

Posted on July 13, 2005 by Annie Rayburn/Carol Burnside

I’m a tea drinker. Love the stuff. ‘Course I’m from the southern U.S. – we love our iced tea, sweetened, of course. But I’m talking about hot tea. Recently a writing friend (Nancy Bond) recommended a new tea on the market – Celestial Seasonings Perfectly Pear White Tea. OMG! If you like a mild tea you’ll love this. Smooth and lightly sweetened, it is heavenly to smell and drink.

Other favs are Darjeeling, Eng. B’fast, Assam, and Passionfruit. What about you? Have a favorite tea, coffee, or other drink?

Hey, in a couple months, I can say I’m actually published – in print, no less. Helen Polaski e-mailed me today that my story The Homecoming (a narrative account of my daddy’s annual family reunions) will definitely be in The Rocking Chair Reader Family Gatherings. Ain’t that a hoot?

Adams Media (TRCR publisher) encourages book signings, interviews, etc. and I’m going to see if I can’t swing one or two book signings when GRW has a local one. If I do, I’ll post a picture of my very first book signing right here on my blog. The little things that make us writers happy. I swear!
