Cocktails at Sunset - a diagram

Since I spent hours creating a floor plan for the Sunset Elderly Living Facility in the next book, Cocktails at Sunset, I thought it might be fun to share it.

Then since I was sharing that, I decided to also include a few images I used when writing the scenes. You'll just have to read the book to find out where these are used.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman by L. A. Keller

I haven't loved a book this much in longer than I can remember. I read every genre, except horror and nothing has kept me a prisoner of the page like Gail Honeyman's beautiful story of a woman lost in a world of regret, shame and abuse. This description sounds like the book is depressing but it's the opposite. The evolution of the character is heartwarming and you'll only be sad when the book is done.

The Wickenburg Literary Festival was held on April 1st through 3rd. I was excited to participate in this event and have the opportunity to meet with more readers. The Voices of the West, included authors, storytelling, food and the opportunity to design your own book cover. For me it was a great opportunity to meet fans and new readers. As Cocktails at Sunset nears completion, I'm even more thrilled to spend a beautiful Arizona day outside enjoying comments from my readers. Thanks to the new readers who purchased their first Jayne Stanford mystery. I hope they enjoy her story as much as I've enjoyed creating it. Happy Trails, Leslie Visit my website
