What’s been happening:

I'm the Communications Manager for Yellowbook's National Sales, and I recently celebrated my 20th anniversary with the company. I won our President's Award in 2005. I love to travel, and some of my favorite destinations are Hawaii, Walt Disney World, Biloxi, MS, anywhere in California, Vancouver, BC, Las Vegas, and Cancun, to name a few. I've been lucky enough to meet some pretty big-name stars through my travels, including Hugh Jackman, Josh Duhamel, Susan Lucci, Mario Lemieux, and members of the band Chicago, among others. I used to have Penn State football season tickets, but I had to give them up when my built-in ticket buddy, my nephew, moved to Washington to attend college at Washington State University. I still try to make it back for at least one game a year, and I watch every game on TV. I saw Penn State win the Rose Bowl over Oregon in 1995, and that was such a blast to have witnessed it in person! I've recently reconnected with some of my Penn State friends on Facebook (www.facebook.com/patti29ahl). I've always loved writing, and I'm thrilled that my fictional novel, "Seconds" was published in February 2009. It's available at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com, and check out http://outskirtspress.com/seconds for more information. I've written a second, unrelated book that I also hope to get published someday soon.
