Hi Trish, another rowdy congratulations on the release of your first book! I can’t wait to read A FIREFIGHTER IN THE FAMILY. What a lovely post. I understand what you mean about the Golden Heart and it was so wonderful to see you at National after you’d sold. You were glowing, m’dear!

Thanks for having Trish on, Nancy:) This is a gorgeous site.

No, Trish, my eyes are not achy, but my nose was stuffy for a while!

Nancy, you’ve made my day!! Although I hope you don’t have red, itchy eyes from the crying.

Jo, hope Amazon hurries and gets your copy to you. Thanks for the lovely comments!

Anna, you’re everywhere! And yes, I do think it’s harder at the end. I think those were the times I got the most depressed, when I felt like I was actually sitting on the fence looking over into Publishedlandium.

Hi Trish and Nancy! This is kinda like the Bandita home away from home today, I see. Trish, as you know, I’m as pleased as Punch that your book is out on the shelves. I love that you stuck to your guns through all those disappointments – it’s actually much tougher at the end, isn’t it, when you know you’re close but still can’t get that banana? I’m sure this is the start of a major career! Whoo-hoo!

Trish, you are definitely the poster child for perserverance and commitment to your art, craft, goals, and dreams.

I can’t wait for your book to arrive from Amazon. It’s truly a testament to hard work and persistance! Congratulations!
