Thanks everyone. I am thrilled JJ because Ruth the 94 year old woman who actually lived the stories in this book is a real pistol. Just imagine she will be 95 in July, gets up everyday, gets fully dressed, makeup and jewelry, and then she and her companion/secretary go out to breakfast and take a nice ride. I am lucky to get out of bed let alone do the things she still does. She has gotten more frail in the past year but still keeps her routine. So many people are waiting for this book to be released just because they know her and that her life has been amazing.
I was worried I may not have done her life justice but when reading her the finished product, she laughed out loud in places and cried at a couple places. All in all, she was pleased... Whew, big relief!!!

JJ it's not in print yet, the publisher has it and is waiting for Ruth to sign legal stuff before she can send it to be printed. I'm not sure exactly how long all that takes once the contract is signed and sent back... I will definitely let everyone here know when it's in print and ready to go...

Well done, Chat! Let us know when the book is out.

I agree, chatty. I just signed on for a project that is going to really tax my brain ;-) The guy wanted me to do it in five months; I pushed him to six. I wish I could take a year, but if I really push myself I will get it done. Wish me luck!

Chatty, this is so exciting!

Chatty...we're waiting with baited breath...no wait, that's onions.

Erica, that is so exciting! Congrats, hun!

Chatty, congratulations! I am so excited for you! I hired an editor who had been a ghost writer for Gloria Steinam. He was not allowed to say which book, but he was allowed to put it on his resume. I would not at all be surprised at what all you have done. Of course, if I had known you at the time, I would have come to you!

Thanks, JJ. Things are accelerating. My suspense novel Murder In The Pit comes out in June. The pub sent me the finalized cover art, and it's gorgeous. Soon as I can figure out how to post it here, I will!
:-)

I can say without hesitation that ERICA is an incredible writer. Travels with My Lovers was delicious! I know the book will meet with outstanding results. Go Ms E!

Of course I wish you luck Erica. But know you are talented and will get'er done with time to spare.
