Sherri, yours is definitely next! My son went back to the PO this afternoon (we have a PO box and they put mail in it more than once a day)and JJ's book was there.

I'm pretty excited. Not only do I have my books in most of the local stores, but on Monday I was invited to set up a table in one of the downtown merchants to be there for the annual Christmas walk. I quickly contacted the newspaper who got my press release in the next day and did a great job, third page of the paper where all the local news is located. EVERYONE who takes the paper reads that page. Anyway, I went last night, was there for three hours and sold nine books, and I have to deliver four more tomorrow. Many came in because of the press release in the paper and the store owner said they had a larger crown than they usually have and she was sure I brought in extra business. Their shop is a florist shop and gets very little walk in traffic even on Christmas Walk night. I'm pretty excited about how things are going.

I am supposed to pick a weekend in January and I will have a book signing in a local book store and the paper has asked to do a profile of me and my book right before the signing. I can hardly curb my excitement! Things are popping and it isn't even released nationally yet! I only have about 34 books left from the initial shipment of 125, so I think I'm doing pretty well. Course I don't have anyone to compare with, but I know I'm happy!

You're on a roll! You're in a zone. Go girl!

Sat on the sofa last night with a hot creamy cup of potato soup settled in to read your book, all of it. Three cups of soup later, I put it down, sighed a sigh of pleasure and went to bed. Beautiful story, interesting read....super job.

You read it all in one setting? Great, thanks for the kind words about it. I've had lots of good reviews. Don't forget, anyone who has it and would like to put a review on Amazon, I would be very happy!!

Well I was up until a little after 3:00 AM but 262 pages that flowed as easily as these did wasn't a hard read.

Thank you Charleen, that's truly a compliment!!

love ya
