Sidney was the best turnout of all (except for Circle, my home town.) Thirty eight people turned out for the book signing/discussion in the cool library basement, and bought dozens of books. The Sidney library and its staff, along with Deniece Schwab of the Sidney Herald did a wonderful job of spreading the word. Rene Goss, the librarian, vibrant and dedicated professional, who gave us support above and beyond. The Sidney facility has every resource a novice writer could possible need, and if she doesn't have it on the shelves, she will get it from another library. She's ordering some new audio versions of talks by Joel Saltzman and William Zinsser. These are very worthwhile for anyone hoping to write their memoirs.

Now we move on to Wolf Point, in 100 degree heat. We're staying cool though, in our little home on the road, and meeting great people in the RV parks we visit. I had to order even more books from my publisher in Victoria, BC. They printed and shipped the last order in six days! Great service.

    So glad to hear you had such a great turnout in Sidney, despite the heat. There are some wonderful people that go the extra mile there.

    Wishing you safe travel and a good turnout in Wolf Point.

    With such great sales, I am hoping and praying that your story not only reaches but helps many of those who still are not out of the abusive relationships they have found themselves cornered in.

    You are doing a super job sharing your story.
