Wish I Could!

I met with our tax man yesterday, although I didn't sell many books in 2010 there were still a lot of things I didn't think about. So in 2011 I have to start keeping better records. Yeow!!
I got an e-mail from my publisher, there is a mystery bookstore in Pennsylvania that wants to carry my book. Sometime next month they are having some kind of special thing and are going to give away a gift basket. My book is the one that is to be featured and is also going to be the headliner in the advertising they are doing for the event. They would like me to come there for an appearance. Sadly I live in Cheney, WA, for me a world away. She indicated that she will be ordering a pretty good number of books to have on hand during the week the event happens.
I am just over whelmed that people are loving my book. Is this a God thing?
Well getting back to the real world, I have to finish vacuuming the floor and my dog needs to go to the vet for his rabies shot.

I love Saturday Mornings!

Good Morning Bloggers, It's a beautiful Saturday morning. The sun is shinning and I don't feel the earth shaking. I thank God for that. I finally got my first cup of coffee and I really love that first cup in the morning. Saturday morning is when I take my once a week pill for my bones. You know 'make sure you can sit or stand for 30 minutes'. Take the pill with a full glass of water and wait 30 minutes before having my coffee. I called my son in New Zealand last night at 9:30 p.m. Friday,our time, so it was 6:30 p.m. Saturday, their time. I was delighted when Matthew answered the phone. What a gracious young man, and his voice is getting a little deeper, guess that means he's growing up. I also talked to Natalie,what a delight. Mark and Ing seemed fine and they all seemed to be handling the miseries of after quake life very well. With all their inconveniences they feel fortunant after seeing the devistation in Japan. Matthew and Natalie will be going back to school this week. Ing has been able to work at her two part time jobs. Mark really needs a full time job, he doesn't think he will be able to do any teaching since so many of the schools have been damaged. I'm praying for a job for him here in America, of course thats a mothers prayer. It would take a miracle but God performs miracles all the time. Speaking of miracles, all the wonderful things that have happened with my book is nothing short of a miracle. Now I'm praying for the strength to do what I need to do to promote the book. The cortizone shot in my hip has certainly helped but they say that is a temparary fix. Well God has taken me this far so I'm sure he will see me through to the end. Does that mean I will be writing another book, Yes, of course but will it be good enough to get it published?
