Congratulations on your first sale. Now go have an awesome time with your family, but I have to know, ... The Bridges of Madison County, are they a cool thing ;)

Hmm. Wouldn't it have been nice to meet Clint Eastwood when he ws making the movie or any time for that matter. LOL I'm so pleased with all the feed back I've gotten. It's awesome.

James Patterson is my favorite writer too! He passed away at 88 about a month ago. I liked your little story about your marketing. I think he was the best crime and thriller writer God ever sent us. K xx

We must be thinking of someone different. James Patterson was born in 1947 making him 77 years old. He wrote the Alex Cross thrillers and also the Women's Murder Club. As far as I know, he is alive. He's been my inspiration for my stories.

Silly me! It was Wilbur Smith who died. I loved his Egyptian series. Have you read them?
Comment from Wendy G
I am so pleased life is good for you right now (for you have had so much to cope with over the years) - and also that you were able to sell her your book! Well done! Also, congratulations on writing another story while visiting your great-granddaughters. (Matthew's grandchildren?)

Carissa was Wendy's first child and she has three girls, Keyanna, Tycari and Camryn which she has raised pretty much on her own...except for when Nana arrives on the scene. We are beyond close and I so wish they were closer. She wants me to come year round but i still have house and John to deal with. Life goes on!

Oh, you didn't have a copy to give her right then? Well, I guess, it feels better that she "bought" a copy and you got your first royalty payment! Good for you to market in person!!!

I didn't even have my copy yet. It was published on Friday and this was Saturday. If I had one, I would have happily given it to her. I was thrilled.

Comment from karenina
You go, girl! If only I had thought when I bought your book to have it sent to hour address, so you could autograph it and send it to me!
Oh well- I've already read it and now my daughter is enjoying it.
Great Cloud Nine marketing! I'd keep a few copies with you wherever you go...
I always wondered, did you get a certain number of free copies as part of your publishing package?
Hope so!
Here's to you!
Much success!

No, but I can purchase what they call author copies for giving away..it's cheaper but they can't be sold. I might do that for the family because you know they aren't going to buy them. Though Tycari saw my copy and asked if she could have her own copy for Christmas as her present. Now you know I was beyond moved by that.... Hope your daughter enjoys the book.

Will do...

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
It is so nice when someone wants to read you book and buys it! I sold all rights to my plays, but it was great to look online and see they were translated into a couple of different languages. Have a great time with those granddaughters and be glad you don't have to raise them. I raised four of mine, 3 boys and a girl, but I wouldn't give up those years for anything.

Things are so different now then they were when my kids were younger. They are busy going everywhere and how do you get them to all these places at the same time and stay sane. I am proud of what my granddaughter has accomplished, raising three girls on her own and becoming a top dog at Walmart.

Was that your very first sale? How cool! I think you've worked hard enough to stay on cloud 9 for as long as you like! Enjoy your special time. Have fun with your great granddaughters.

It was my first sale person-to-person. Amazon has sold books, and I was my first customer three minutes after I was told it was published. Thanks so much, Marilyn.

Comment from Carol Clark2
You're a good salesperson for your book. I'm sure it's a great feeling when someone buys your book on the spot. You are your best advocate for selling the book. (My copy arrived yesterday and I began reading it immediately.) It's OK to stay on Cloud Nine for a while. LOL. Enjoy your great-granddaughters. Carol

Thank you so much, Carol. I still can't believe I did it, but I am sure happy I did. I couldn't resist saying I made my first one on one face to face sale. Silly me!
Smiles, Carol

Book stores or Amazon will never promote your book as well as you can. And the lady can say she met an author and bought her book. How cool is that?
Comment from Rick Gardner
Interesting, want to ride the bus with you, can be reading the same book out loud. Going no where, just going for a ride. Need someone to talk to as I am lonely today. Actually many days, some are worse than others. This is one of those days. Please help me.

I am sorry to hear you're having a bad day today, Rick. We all have some of those days at times. Usually, I would be home, most likely writing, by myself, but currently, I am in North Carolina visiting family. Take care!
