Book Report

Friends, thanks to you, I am humbled to report the book is doing very well. Displays with books for sale have been set up at "Caraway's Pharmacy" in Westlake and "Bella's Bridal/Mr. Formal Wear" in Lake Charles, located next to "Casa Manana's Restaurant". I expect to be in Dequincy Friday to talk to folks at "Nichol's Department Store" about setting up a display there.

In other news, I received notice yesterday from the head librarian at the Westlake branch to expect to receive a call from the purchasing agent for the Calcasieu Parish Library system. She had been informed they are very interested in purchasing books to distribute through out the parish! She also informed me they had just cataloged "My Father's Gift" and set it out in the library and asked if I wanted to see it. Of course I responded I did and wished I had a camera. She led me over to where it had been placed and guess what? It wasn't there. Someone had already checked it out!

The Lake Charles Tourist Bureau is also considering purchasing copies to sell in their souvenir shop.

Thanks to you, it has been a very enjoyable experience. I have had several people tell me the book is the best they've ever read, that it had them laughing and crying at the same time!

Please continue to pray for me, I am in unchartered waters and need all the help I can get. Thanks!

P.S. If you don't have access to a book, drop me a line, we'll figure out how to get one to you.

"My Father's Gift" is here!

Folks, sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been pretty busy with the book. And I have good news! I have received the finished copies from the publisher and I can't believe all the positive responses I've been getting from the people who've already purchased and read it. Several have contacted me for additional copies to give to loved ones and I'm told how the story made them laugh and cry at the same time! Thank you for all of your prayers and support. I couldn't have done it without you.

If you travel through Westlake, you can pick one up at Caraway's Pharmacy on McKinnley St. (behind the Conoco station). Or if you go to Lake Charles, you can pick one up from Bella's/Mr. Formal Wear located on Ryan St. (right next to Casa Manana). Or with the price of gas so high contact me through the website and send me a message. I'll mail it to you. The book's cost is fifteen dollars, plus three-fifty for the shipping and handling. If you desire, I'll be happy to sign it.

Since I am a self-published author I would be appreciative and open to any advice and/or help in the getting the word out.

Thanks!
