Author's Diary

  Day 1: My book is published.
People ask, "Aren't you excited?" 
"Yes," I lie.
Do I sound paranoid? Don't answer that. In fact, don't say anything at all to me this week unless it's some hollow platitude about how nice my book's cover looks or how much you liked the first chapter (you don't actually have to have read the first chapter to say this, by the way).
Or, if you feel too guilty about  discussing the book without having read it, just read one of the excerpts on my website. I'll never know the difference.

Will "The Town on Beaver Creek" be available on Audible or CD?

I just love the way you really express everything going on and I think it would be wonderful to have a mom like you

I really enjoyed the book. My Grandmother Minnie Stumbo used to tell me stories about Dr.Ed and Dr. Walk Stumbo, how Dr. Walk pulled her tonsils out and told her if she moved her neck he would cut her --- ---- throat off, and how Dr. Ed pulled all her teeth and she walked home, about 3 miles.
