Gayle Carline

Welcome to my home page, where you can get the lat­est scoop!

How do you like the new me? I thought a new year should have a new me. I fid­dled with my ban­ner art and moved my menu items around a lit­tle. For one thing, my Cal­i­for­nia Rid­ing Cred­its didn’t exactly belong in the same cat­e­gory as my Flash Fic­tion and odd pho­tos, so I put them in their own place on the bar.

Sec­ond, I’ve dropped my “maven-in-training” shtick… mostly. One of my most won­der­ful friends who gives me excel­lent advice said it was time to drop that par­tic­u­lar act and be a real author and colum­nist. It seems I am all grown up, at least accord­ing to her.

I do hope you like it. Please stop by and let me know if the changes appeal to you or not.

Where will I be in 2012? Here is a brief list of where I plan to be this year:

South­ern Cal­i­for­nia Writer’s Con­fer­ence, San Diego, Feb­ru­ary 17–20

Pla­cen­tia Library Friend’s Foun­da­tion Author’s Lun­cheon, March 3 **I am just host­ing this event but do come if you’re in the neigh­bor­hood and can afford a $50 ticket!

Left Coast Crime, Sacra­mento, March 29 — April 1

Sis­ters in Crime, Orange County ** I’ll have to start show­ing up at these meet­ings now, since I’m the secretary!

There’ll be more, but these are the ones I’m com­mit­ted to so far.

In the meantime,

Keep read­ing, Peeps!
