I forgot to say that my new address for ordering books from me after June 1 will be Box 749, White Sulphur Springs, Mt. 59645 My e-mail will remain the same.

The move is progressing.

I haven't mailed or e-mailed notifications about the availability of "Chasing Ghosts." Trafford STILL has not sent my supply of books. I'm glad to be busy with other things. My patience is wearing thin. I also intend to place ads in many local Montana newspapers. The link to the Trafford website is www.Trafford.com/08-1379.

Thanks for hanging with me.

Finally, good news! Chasing Ghosts can be ordered through the Trafford.com website, and will be available from Barnesandnoble.com and Amazon.com within a few weeks. Anyone who would like a signed copy can order it from me at 150 Elizabeth Lane, Sequim, WA 98382, postage paid. I will have a supply of copies within a week or so. I'm busy creating an e-mail list to get out, along with postcards, in a few days.

We've made the decision to move back to Montana. Jim's mom will go with us. Because of the economy, we've decided to combine households to save money. We have a lot of work facing us in the next three months, including some retrofit of the White Sulphur Springs house for handicap access. We hope to be settled there by the end of June.

The proof was received, reviewed, and the final agreement and authorization mailed. Perhaps I'll have books and post cards in my hands in a couple of weeks. Just about the time I want to get out in the yard and dig in my herb beds, not sit in front of the computer sending post cards and e-mails. I think I'll tell Trafford that they should give me a couple of dozen more free books, as payment for my patience. (By the way, this book will be priced $3 less than the others--it's slightly slimmer.) Now I'm seriously considering a major revision of Dancing on His Grave. Russ and I have learned a lot in the process of producing three books--about layout, font size, etc. This might be vanity on my part, but I think the third book exudes a higher quality than the first one.
