Holiday Happenings

Hi everybody!

I can't believe Christmas is just three days away! It seems like just yesterday, "I Sit in a Wheelchair....But I Will Be Okay" was released. WOW! How time flies. I need to update you all about holiday happenings, and I will also give you a preview of what Michelle and I have to look forward to in 2011.

On Saturday, December 4th, I had fun signing books at the Franklin County Public Library in Ozark. Michelle did not get to join me on this one, and I missed her. However, my buddies from the Franklin Coiunty Book Club stepped into help me. Thank you Donna and Zarfia. It was so fun, and nice to see you. Thanks also goes out to the Franklin County Public Library for letting me set up.

On Thursday, December 8th, i did a radio interview for the Children's Author's radio show. This interview was unlike any other I had ever done. Mr. Don McCauley is a marketing and publicity consultant who moderates the Children's Author's Radio Show. If you would like more information, go to http://www.thechildrensauthorsshow.com I had a great time with it. I love to do interviews.

I went and spent a week with Michelle and her family last week. (December 10-17th) I had a blast, and can't wait to come and visit Sperry again.

As we are about a week away from the new year, I look back and reflect on "i Sit in a Wheelchair...But I Will Be Okay." The sales have been pretty good. Michelle and i want to thank everyone who has purchased a book. I am sure it will be a treasure for many years to come. I have learned a lot about the life of being an author duruing the past few months. i have probably made some mistakes, but that is okay..........it's how you learn. Michelle and I have had a lot of fun, and a good year.
