And thanks to Rachael Gustuson for creating the Hors d’oeuvres. I’ve tasted some of the treats she has in mind and are they ever special. I’ve also learned that the gracious ladies of the Yucaipa Woman’s Club, Evening Section, will be assisting in set-up and in general, offering moral support.
Thank you, ladies! I truly appreciate your help and support. I’m honored.
And to the special people who volunteered their time and expertise to help me in the writing of the book. I’ve listed most of them in the book, altho I’m sure I’ve omitted some.
Well, my novel has come full-circle, from idea, to the first draft, to the book contract to the finished result and signing. What a time this has been, nearly a year and a half from the signed contract to the release, at least three years from the idea for the book.
At times, because of all the detailed research involved, I nearly gave up, but as a novel writer, I felt compelled to keep going. I write because I must. All the other writers out there understand. Now, when I hold my book in its beautiful hardback edition, I’m so proud I could cry. So the frustrations, the anxiety, the exhaustion at times was worth it. I hope you’ll see for yourself.
Stop by the signing and the reception afterward. I’d love to meet you.
Thank you.
I stopped by the museum at 4:30 but no one was there… (announcement:And if that weren’t exciting enough, Claire Teeters, editor of the Yucaipa/Calimesa News Mirror, has organized a reception at the Mousley Museum of Yucaipa History from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.)
Oh no, Ron. I’m so sorry! But the signing & reception is next Sunday, June 3. So sorry you made the trip today.
