Some great feedback !!

I received a note from a friend I had fallen out of touch with from my past wheelchair basketball days...

"Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your book, "Travels in a Blue Chair". My daughter saw it at university and bought it for me without knowing that I played ball with you. At first I read the title, then the author, and thought to myself your name sounded familiar. It didn't take long before I knew it was you especially when I saw your photo on the back cover!"

I have also heard again from the Doctor in France (who spends lots of time in the Middle East). He has motivated some other doctors to read Travels in a Blue Chair too!!

"As you asked me in your last mail, 3 of my friends M.D have read your book(also specialist in rehab),I can tell you they really appreciate the spontaneity of the "hero",a kind of style they are not used with their "regular" patients. 2 of them asked me why you are sitting with your braces, because they had the impression that you are living on a wheelchair only?....Medical staff that think that your book is great not only because of the content, but because of a fabulous impact it can do on other disabled."

Thanks to all for the wonderful feedback and encouragement!!
