Woo-Hoo! My Book

A journey. A learning curve. An accomplishment. An undertaking. A wow-do-I-feel-great!
It’s up on Amazon… When I Was a Rock Star: Thoughts on Being Present in the World.
Yee gods and little fishes, as my best friend in grade school would say.
And this week of publication has brought excitement, visits from friends as well as a gorgeous bouquet of sunflowers from a neighbor this morning.

Working at seeing the abundances in my life. There are many. The Canadian geese are starting to fly through with their amazing honking as they cruise overheard. My pup is two years old and still speaking to me. My new abode is now really feeling like home. The lupine seeds I planted months back are finally sprouting. The nectarines I got at the market a few days ago are perfectly ripe and delicious. This amazing opportunity to publish. Ah yes, gratitude.
Thank you for reading. Thanks to so many of you for support over the years.
My request: Please tell everyone you know about my book. If inclined, leave a favorable review on Amazon. The more sales and reviews get me more sales and searches, which increase my reader audience. Yay-hoo!

P.S. You can find me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and facebook.

      Thank you, Susan. I am delighted to get your hugs! I’ll be at the Thumbnail on Oct 8 to MC for Dmitri Matheny, master jazz musician/flugelhornist, who wrote the foreword for my book. My best to you and all your family.

    Ah yes… I am 1/2 way through, and I LOVE your writing style! Now you need to write a novel of some sort. I felt when I was reading your little adventures, I was right there with you. I was fully engaged and swept away. It is easy reading and a great read before one pulls the sheets fully up to your shoulders. I can’t wait for what you will write next…
