Had a good time signing my book Sunday afternoon, with fellow author Michael Williams, at the Writers’ League of Texas booth as part of the Texas Book Festival in downtown Austin, TX. Congress Avenue was shut down from 7th Street to the State Capitol for the festival.

I'll be signing my book (From Apollo To Artemis) at the Writers' League of Texas booth on Sunday, Nov. 9, at the Texas Book Festival in downtown Austin. Ticketed sessions will also be available to hear from celebrity authors that weekend. texasbookfestival.org

Spoke about NASA to a group of Australian high school students at Space Center Houston this morning. They're attending the Space Center U program, a week-long hands-on STEM program.

Just got my invitation from NASA to attend the Astronaut Group 24 announcement at JSC on Sept. 22. Can't wait to see who the new AsCans (Astronaut Candidates) are that were selected from 8,000 applicants. Hoping one of my friends was selected.

A few pics from our NASA Alumni League book fair at the Johnson Space Center cafeteria last week. Loved getting to talk to the current NASA employees and share stories. Other authors were Marianne Dyson, Debbie Trainor, & George Salazar.

Got to speak about working at NASA to both junior high and high school students at Space Center Houston last week.

Saw my book in a university library for the first time last week, at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. It was next to my friend Debbie Trainor's book (From Tortillas to Astronauts) in the New Arrivals section. The library is home to our NASA Alumni League Human Spaceflight history collection.

Spent yesterday afternoon with Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise and Space Hipster friends Lois Huneycutt & Kim Davis, sharing lots of good stories and memories.

Spent most of this weekend hanging out with classmates Dionne Stafford and Faith Freeman (Johnson) at our high school (located near JSC) reunion. Lots of good stories from those Gemini/Apollo days. Many other NASA folks and family members were there, also. What a great place to grow up.

On #OldHeadshotDay, this is my theater headshot from 1982, along with a photo of my favorite costume from that year (in a production of "Kismet"). A long time ago...

Spoke for almost 2 hours last night about working for NASA with Nick and Tan on their Galactic Window Space Podcast. That was fun! www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3dK...

Celebrating World Theatre Day with a flashback to playing Doc Myers in the comedy “Leading Ladies” a few years ago - giving bad news to Reverend Woolery (played by my friend Bob Townsend) in this scene. Would love to get back on the stage. #WorldTheatreDay

I had the good fortune to meet Herb Baker at the Remembering Columbia Museum this year. I have now finished his book on life as a procurement specialist at NASA. My review is here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Any of my author or book lover friends on Goodreads? I'm doing a giveaway (which ends Monday, March 17, - U.S. only) of 15 signed paperback copies of my book "From Apollo To Artemis." Goodreads author page is here: www.goodreads.com/author/show/... Would be happy to be Goodreads friends.

A NASA employee grabbing a selfie (1st photo) with me and my NASA Alumni League author friends as we signed books in the Johnson Space Center cafeteria yesterday. I love going back there for visits and where better to discuss books we’ve written about working at JSC than with JSC employees?

Placed a rose at the tree dedicated to astronaut Tom Stafford last week at JSC. That’s Joe Acaba, Chief of the Astronaut Office, behind me. Many other astronauts attended, including Jessica Meir (2nd photo). Had a chance to talk with astronaut Bill McArthur (3rd photo) before the ceremony began.

If you're in the Houston area, join me and 13 other local authors for book signings & readings from our books at the UH-Clear Lake Pearland campus Saturday, Feb. 15, from 10am-2pm. It's their Fall In Love With Reading event.

Today, for just the 2nd time in my life, my photo was on the front page of a newspaper (in East Texas). The story was about the event at the Remembering Columbia Museum in Hemphill, TX, on the 22nd anniversary of the Columbia accident where I spoke and signed copies of my book over the weekend.

Loved this review of my book: "an inviting tour inside the everyday reality of working at NASA" and a "light and fun discussion about the organization and the people that made it work." independentbookreview.com/2025/02/04/b...

Attended the tree dedication ceremony for Apollo 8 Commander Frank Borman at the Johnson Space Center yesterday and got to hang out with his son, high school friend Ed Borman. Also got to chat with Fred Haise and Jeff Lovell (attending on behalf of his father, Jim Lovell). #NASA #space #astronauts

I love that friends are reading my book on the beach - in the middle of winter! I suppose I can start calling my book a "beach read" now. #Bookstagram #BookSky

Show an unusual photo of yourself and an aircraft. Shuttle Endeavour (at Ellington Field on her way to the California Science Center) with the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft in 2012. I worked in the NASA office buying the Shuttle Orbiter vehicles (built by Rockwell International) in the 1980's.

If space exploration is my #1 passion, live theater is #2. I played Kris Kringle in a production of 'Miracle on 34th Street' in a production that opened on this day 5 years ago. A few photos from that show. I loved my elves!

Not gonna lie - my friend @lydiacornell.bsky.social (star of TV's 'Too Close for Comfort') promoting my new book made my day.

Recently spoke to STEM educators & faculty at Texas State University about NASA. After the presentation, students enjoyed trying on the mockup Apollo spacesuit I brought along.
