Friday Funnies: A Sneak Peek ...

Hello My Happy People,


I hope you have had a fantastic week and are going into your weekend looking forward to time doing things you love with people you love to be around. I will be spending time (if our plans work out) with my better half out of town. I know most of you are probably thinking, don't you spend every day with P.R. as it is? The answer to that is yes, but more time with P.R. is always a great thing.


In case you are wondering about the photo on this blog, this is another hint at the cover art for my new book, The Touch. I took several photos and an overlay and combined them all together with some extra editing to create my cover art. This is a section of one of the original photos I used for the cover. While it does not look like this on the book cover, you will recognize it when you see the art.


This month I will be celebrating my 55th birthday and I have to say I am really looking forward to it. First of all, my birthday always falls on Talk Like a Pirate Day, which I find hilarious. Second, they are starting up the Destination Star Trek (DST) conventions again this month. They haven't had one since CoVid hit the world. They had planned to have a big convention last year to celebrate 25 years of Star Trek Voyager, but it was cancelled. However, they have rescheduled it for this year and I have a ticket for a photo with Kate Mulgrew! I can't wait!


Keep watching my social media for a sneak peek of the new text I have written for The Touch coming sometime in the next few days. I think I will do a video on TikTok first. However, if you do not follow me on there, I will post it later on my other social media sites. But you should follow me on there, it's fun.


But for now, in keeping with my excitement over the upcoming DST Con, I thought some Star Trek jokes might be fun for today.


I hope you have a great weekend people!


Enjoy,

Dianne
