I was told when I first found this community of book blogging that “book bloggers were the nicest bloggers there are” and I have never forgotten those words. And over the past year, I have truly met the nicest people. I also believe, even though we live behind a screen, a bit of our personality shines through. That is one of the reasons I am having so much fun with this weekly event, and hoping you are too, because we are getting to know those “nicest bloggers” around and about bloggyland a little bit better.
I can’t think of a better way of spending Memorial Day Weekend than with all of you, and having a virtual outdoor BBQ by our pool. Jeff (Lori’s hubby…Dollycas’s Thoughts) has on his “Kiss The Cook” apron and chef’s hat on (I tried to tell him the hat was a bit much….but would he listen??? Men!!!) and is in charge of the grill. Steve, my hubby, is in charge of the drinks, so just yell out Garçon when you need a refill!! lol Today’s guest is quite special to me. I haven’t known her long but I have known about her for a couple of months. Speaking of hats, she wears a few. Today, we will meet the blogging person. I will tell you more about her, after we get to know her better, but I guarantee, once you hear her story, you WILL agree, she is a Shining Star. Today my guest is MARY from SEX AFTER SIXTY
*When and why did you start blogging?*
Mary and her book sound fascinating! I know what she means about her blog name. I don't think mine suits what I do too well, but feel like I'm stuck with it now.
Mary you are truly a Shining Star and I would love to read your book and get word out too. I hate it when publicists pay money, lots of money and are left high and dry. Just recently I know of 2 authors that were dumped before their contract was completed and no money was returned. I love to feature new authors and publicize their books. Cheryl knows how to reach me.
Garçon my glass is empty, yoo hoo!!!
I am so impressed! Mary you are brave. You should be quite proud of yourself and what have accomplished.
I am partial to women writers (literary fiction, literary memoirs & poetry), and would love to read your book. You are an inspiration.
I thank Cheryl for introducing you!

I agree Mary is truly a Shining Star. I'm glad to meet and learn more about a new blogger. I too, would love to read her book. When it reaches the bookstores I will be glad to pick one up and read it. Thanks for introducing us to another book blogger, and now I am off to view her blog.
Hi, Gigi Ann,
My book is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. You can link from my blog or just google "Mary L. Tabor".
Thank you so much for visiting here and for commenting on my blog. I am off to yours! Great virtual meeting! my thanks to you and Cheryl.
Mary
AHHHH, great pick for Shining Star!
Hi, Sheila,
As my day here in the spotlight winds down–and I am so grateful to Cheryl–I see that you have written. I am so glad here, having looked at your terrific blog to see your brief kind words. A girl can hope perhaps for an author chat with you–or maybe even a review. I like your blog and am off to find you on Twitter. I'm maryltabor there. So expect a new follower.
I see gentleness and love here with Cheryl and on your blog. As I say in my memoir _(Re)Making Love_, "We do live in a forgiving cosmos even when all seems lost."
