I can add some more "made it moments" now, including sales in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy! I love our tiny globe! And yesterday I gave my very first radio interview. What a blast! Life is sooooo good. As far as Skype is concerned, my sister, author Lala Corriere, and I have begun using it regularly to stay in touch. Emails are nice, but Skype is a lot more personal and immediate. Lala even Skyped a presentation to a writer's group in another city a few months ago that went very well. And I love, love, love seeing my granddaughter in her London 'flat' whenver we can figure out a good time to chat. While I don't worry so much about makeup with family, I would for sure want to throw some lipstick on for a book club. Mountain Mama, I hope you enjoy Red Tide.

Peggy, funny how the little things bring the most joy. I've downloaded a copy. Much success in the future. Have you contacted Jon Renaud with Back to Books? He has a store in Manitou Springs that only caters to Indie Authors. Bet he'd help you with a book signing. Anyway, good luck. I'll post a review when finished. Another excellent interview.

I haven't tried Skype yet. I'm not too thrilled with the idea of the other party seeing me closeup. Not a pretty sight most of the time!

They're an affirmation somehow. I know that a lot of authors don't read their reviews but I'm pulled to them just as I am to the bathroom scale. Good news or bad news, it is what it is… but I love when it's good news! Diana, sales are a good thing. They’re an affirmation somehow.

Knowing that someone who doesn't know me from a crossing guard actually bought something I wrote? And actually wrote a review? And *liked* the book enough to leave a review that was very helpful? Amazing! I think we live to tell stories (selling them doesn't hurt...) and having proof of an audience is always wonderful. Thank you for verbalizing that Peg - and good luck!
