ALL,
I have an announcement! My book is officially out!
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE THRONE is in print! WAHOOOOO! I'm so happy and haven't stopped dancing since I got the word.

IT WILL BE A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THEY COME IN...

However, if you would like to pre-order your autographed copy, you can do so at my homepage http://www.queenjawjaw.com There's a button on the front page when you arrive.

I've got to tell you, I can't even describe the feeling. Its so great!

A couple of things I'll mention

1) There is a PayPal button on my site in case you are a PayPal member and want to order that way. YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF PAYPAL to order. At least until Monday. I hope to have that changed by then.

2) As stated, this is for pre-ordering autographed copies. The books should arrived in a couple of weeks. You also have the option of sending me a check. On Monday, Amazon will be added. We (me and my web queen) just ran out of time!

If you have any questions, just drop me a line!

JJ

I just ordered mine. Can't wait. Love and kisses to the AUTHOR.
smile

OH SMILES! A BIG HUG TO YOU AND THE DANmeister!

Thank you hon...I thank you! And so does Trixie! (And my bank...my credit card company,...my-)

JJ

Hey, like I told you, this is an INVESTMENT. When you're a famous celebrity, I'm selling the autograph on EBAY for a zillion dollars!!!

WHOOOEEE!!
smile

How great! I have to get busy, so I can join the circle.

Woohoo for you!

Everybody better jump on this. It's the deal of the century. We're getting a chance to get an autographed copy of the next Erma Bombeck's first book.
Can't wait to get my copy. I'm gonna' laugh my b--- off!!
smile

Already ordered mine.

You are going to laugh your b--- off. I was fortunate enough to be one of the editors. All I could do was laugh, shake my head, and think...how does she come up with this stuff? She's crazy. I'm smiling just posting about it. Can't wait to get my copy in the mail.

Get your books now becasue she's goig to be the Featured Author in July! You better believe THAT will be a lively forum.

I just ordered mine, and my endorphins are already jumping in anticipation!

Contrary to popular belief, reading my book will NOT make your butt smaller...HOWEVER....Buying a copy WILl make my credit card bill smaller, which...by the way, rivals the national debt.

You all are too kind and most generous with your comments. I just luv you to pieces. Trixie sends her love.

JJ

Wrong again JJ,
I haven't even read it yet and my butt is already smaller. At least 50% smaller, maybe more. Very small in fact. Super small. Smaller than your credit card bill I bet.
Well, at least I'm leaving it behind.
smile

JJ,
Congratulations on your book. Can't wait to read it.
Maggie

Thanks Ms Maggie, it was soooo good to hear from you today! I miss chatting with you!

..and SMILES...EVERYTHING is smaller than my CC bill. What I want to know is "Did I have a good time?" I can't seem to figure it out....

JJ

Congrats to you:).

And yep, I've already ordered mine too. Can't wait to get that autographed copy in my hands.

I'm of course looking forward to getting my copy too! Nobody writes humor like DA QUEEN and I can testify to that...happily I was an official "reviewer" of this book of hilarity so I know what I'm talkin' about!!

Now JJ what I want to know is would you prefer all of us display your book on our bookshelves, coffee tables or in the "throne room"??? What??? Huh?????

Hey Jawjaw,
Consider your credit card bill a little bit smaller as of today! I just ordered mine and I can't wait to get it!

Pammie...aka Pinki....Three places? Three books? WoWzer! I like the way you think! What? Ohhhhhh...you meant one or the other...hm....Well, tell David to put it in the bedroom. That's as close to sex as I'll ever get again..hahahaha...what?

You girls are soooo GREAT! TVC--Got your notification of your order a few minutes ago! See? (Queen jumping up and down and waving printout to TVC) This is all so exciting and I can tell you that my feet haven't touched the floor! QueenME...you go girl! 3 books! Who luvs ya baby? No...not Kojak...ME!

Eagle...don't tell anybody I asked...but what the devil are endorphins? Is this a good thing?

This crown is getting tight....hahahah...Oh wait, this is Trixie's crown. No wonder. Dang it...she has swapped them again. Trixieeeeee! Come here this minute!

JJ

Oh Dotsie! I can't wait! I have a feeling that there will be fireworks going off in here long after the 4th! Great Choice!

I say we all put JJ's book in the bedroom. That's where all the laughing goes on anyway.
WHooppeeee!
smile

JJ, I just put my check in the mailbox today. I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to get my very own autographed copy of your book.

Wonderful news about being the Featured Author for July. What an awesome choice. As if I don't spend enough time on the computer, I'll be glued to it during July.

Congrats, JJ.

I ordered mine through PayPal. Can't wait!

JJ, I have some contact info for you but am waiting until my contact gets back to me with the particulars. It's a biggie girl!

JJ

My check will be in the mail today!! I can't wait.

Whoa Dianne! This is great news gal. I found a Trike just this weekend. Divine intervention? I'm thinking it is. Because the price is soooo low.

Thanks all for the kudos. I promise to personally come to each of your houses and clean your bathrooms for ordering the book.

Why yes, I HAVE been known to stretch the truth a tad...why do you ask?

JJ

JJ, just sent you an email. Exciting, yes?

I'm sitting here pinching myself. Girl...do you know the Pope too? OMG...you know so many important people! Talk about someone in the know.

I sent you a response to your email and I've had to sit here and digest it all. Do you think this will actually happen Lady Di? OMG...

Do you realize what this will mean if it does?

Reeling in Alabama....JJ

You two are killing me! I'm excited for you JJ no matter who it is, but you are driving me crazy guessing!!!!!!!! You'd better tell us as soon as you are able!

I'll spill the beans as soon as we know one way or the other but don't want to pull the energy from this yet. I always err on the side of cautious.

JJ, I completely know what this would mean. You will hit the BIG TIME. And when I told Andy about you, he also thought it was a wonderful idea and that's why he came back with the info. The email I sent him was returned so I emailed his wife and if she's traveling, I'll just call Andy and remind him. They have a home in Italy and go there often (both of them were born and raised there).

I can tell you this: JJ wants to travel in a motorcycle trike with Trixie and promote her book but while she's doing that, it's the ground work for another book about seeing the sites, etc. with your dog riding in a sidecar. Great concept and also would make a great documentary. We're working with a sponsor. That's all I can tell you. Just pray for this to happen!

Title...to give some positive energy to this, is "Trixie and the Triker Queen - A Moving View of America."

I'm still numb from your email but trying to focus on work. Well forget that...it ain't gonna happen. ha!

JJ

We're all waiting with bated breaths!!

Sherri, don't give me lines like that...you KNOW I'll be all over them like white on rice...teehee...what? Hey, its what I do! hahahah....

Who luvs ya?

JJ

JJ, whatever your new plans are and whatever Dianne is cooking up I hope it's all good and comes true for you. You deserve so much success and good fortune in life, you are a wonderful person.

LOL JJ, I give you permission to use whatever line you want!

Love,
Sherri

Congrats congrats congrats congrats!!!!!!!

When I get a breather, I'm ordering it! I can't wait!

Wow, the concept sounds great! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed, alsoznksdhvamb yvjsdbfn ...On second thought, I can't type with my fingers crossed so I'll just say a prayer that everything goes the way you'd like it to go!

A short update: I finally received the correct email addy for my contact and sent of a reminder about what he and I had discussed in Florida (JJ) and he immediately responded to tell me he was CALLING his contact in Hong Kong to get the needed info for JJ.

So girls, please pray like crazy because I so want this to happen for JJ. She deserves it, she's better than Erma Bombeck and she's a wonderful person. Pray, pray, pray.

I'm praying for ya, GF (and looking for some new stones for your new crown!!)

Clap, clap, clap. Disco dancing
Once again I am inspired by the success of a beautiful boomer woman. JJ I am so proud of you getting your book published. Goodness only knows what you'll be up to to promote the treasure but whatever it is,I know you'll be having the time of your life. You deserve all the good things happening to you and more. Glad to have you as a sistah. The check is in the mail...honest.

chick

Congrat! JJ! Hurray! I've been gone and back and look at what you've done with yourself here! I have a big smile on for ya here.

Sheree

I'm telling ya...if you sweet women don't stop spoiling me, I'm gonna start thinking I'm the cat's meow....no offense Trixie.

"Hey, with that hair, you could be," says Trixie...

Oh great...everybodyyyy's a comedian....

Many thanks to you all for the kind words!

JJ
