Finally, the book is at the publisher being built...12 to 16 weeks. I passed out after submitting everything, including the cover. I've almost recovered - you know you can't take it back! After all the edits, rewrites, and readings I just had to let it go.

It all seems so natural and easy for all of you, I could no longer torture you with my pain. Now I have new decisions to make. What an adventure!

Hi Saundra,
Tell us more - what did you write? Such a lot of work and now it's paying off, huh?

It's about periondontal disease, bone loss, tooth loss, and denture gain. Hopefully, people can keep their teeth, but if they can't they have to learn to live with replacements. I cover it all with notes and quotes from 3 dental professionals and my own experience. Nobody talks about it so I will!

Saundra is far too modest ladies. Besides her book being the most informative, never before seen book of its kind anywhere; sprinkled among its teachings and warnings is Saundras delightful humor, which made me laugh outloud in places. Her information warns us to take the best care of our natural teeth possible and is scary on some levels, but it is far better to be safe than sorry....Can't wait for a signed copy Saundra.

Wow, Sandra. That's great news. Got to admit, I've never seen a book on that topic either. That gives you a big boost if that market hasn't been overdone, like in so many other areas. Here's wishing you lots of success!

Thank you Chatty. That's high praise indeed.

Thank you Hannelore for the good wishes. The market is underdone, but I know it's a tough sell. My success will come from helping people. I'll advertise on this website as soon as it's available.

Saundra, I am no pushover when it comes to a good book. You should see some of the nonsense I get to be edited. I do my best and am as kind as possible but the facts are the facts and I have to be truthful no matter what. If someone sends me a terrible manuscript, I read it through completely (always) and then if it can't be saved other than by a complete rewrite with much help from someone. I return it with a letter stating the facts and offering my advice. I also return their uncashed check since I haven't done any editing.....Luckily I've only had two of those.
