A long lost friend

I have had the pleasure this month to receive an email from a former co-worker, who moved away out west to Calgary, after the company we both worked for many years ago, closed down.

Jean had thought of me and searched my name on the internet. In doing so she found out about "Travels in a Blue Chair" and was excited to contact me to revive our friendship!! We had always chatted at work about various topics, including our mutual love of cabbage rolls.

I will be seeing some of our mutual friends at a Super Bowl party next weekend and it will be nice to update everyone on how she is doing.

Also, I learned she now has a copy of the book. I only wish I could sign the copy for her. Who knows? I hope our paths will cross again in the future!

You never know what good things will come out of being an author?

A British Library

One of the aspects of writing a book is trying to get it into libraries. Many people cannot afford their own copy of "Travels in a Blue Chair", and I am gratified that many libraries in North America, and even Australia have multiple copies available to lend out.

Unfortunately, there are no copies in any British library (at least that I know of). If you live in Britain, could you please request that your local library pick up a copy to put on the shelves? I think it would be a great way to start off the year!!

And please let me know if you are successful ....Cheers!
