Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Strolled outside to get the mail this afternoon and there was an envelope from my publisher. I thought, "Yawn" until I opened it. It's huge! It's all the sales from when I did Montel's show. I'm seriously stoked. And, it's going into my private savings account! Yea team!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I take great joy in hearing women writer's success stories. Congrats! You are so deserving. Your story is making a difference in the lives of so many women. You go girl! And by the way, Dian needs to interview you too. Have you mentioned that to her? Do you get quarterly payments?

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Yes, quarterly. Now, I might actually be looking for them. After all, my book came out in 2000 so I figured I would get an You Owe Us statement!

Sigrid Macdonald Member Registered: 01/20/05 Posts: 223 Loc: Ottawa, Ontario	Dianne, That's awesome. Not only were you rewarded financially, but I'm sure that your appearance made a big difference in a lot of women's lives. Way to go! Sigrid

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	Dianne that's really wonderful - rewarding not only financially (!!) but also in the morale boosting department....Montel has a big audience and that kind of publicity really "jump-starts" things in the book sales area doesn't it?!?!?! CONGRATULATIONS......BIG TIME

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	The best part is...All of Hay House proceeds on my book go to the Hay Foundation which helps battered women and people with AIDS! This is why it's so exciting!

Dannye Member Registered: 01/26/05 Posts: 124 Loc: Prophetstown, IL	Congratulations, Girl! Doesn't it seem sometimes like it takes a few days shy of forever to start feeling the momentum? I saw where you mentioned that your book came out in 2000. I've read so many comments by authors who said that just about the time that they were ready to give up, things started to pop! That's what keeps me going. Everybody's telling you to celebrate....so what did you do?

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Finding Neverland, Whale Rider, An Ideal Husband, Hairspray, Ray (not really chicky) and one I just found that has nothing to do with women but about golf that I fell in love with: A Gentlemans Game. I even bought it after seeing it.

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Gee, girl. You sure know how to celebrate! No chocolate in there? Anywhere? Hmmm. Congrats on your well-deserved success. It couldn't happen to a nicer person. You've taken on a hard subject and help a lot of women. Not even a new toy for Sammie?

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Sammie has so many toys in her cage I can't see her! No chocolate either. Wait, I did have a sugar free, fat free fudgesicle. I think that counts but then, I have one every day.
