Woo hoo! When I get some money, I'll have to get a copy of it. I've got to take care of the puppies first, so hopefully around the 10th I can get a paperback copy. Good luck with the book!

Aww, thank you so very much! That would be amazing if you do. But, you are right in choosing your puppies first! I wouldn't expect anything less. What are they? Thank you for giving me a golden sixth star, my wonderful friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

Some of the writings that I have seen on this website have been really good over the years, and I love seeing when something like your book can get published. It's really cool. I felt the same when I published my own books the last two years. It's immensely satisfying to see when all the hard work pays off, and you can hold the books in your hand.

My dogs are a German Shepherd named Pixie, and a Blue Heeler Cattle Dog named Jack. Both are senior dogs and are starting to have health issues. So, it's been getting a little pricey as of late.

You must let me know how they go on. I hate to see dogs, or any animal, in pain or ill.
I'll be starting to read your first book soon, I have it ready for when I finish the book I'm on. When I've finished it, I'll put a review on Amazon for you. I bought it on Amazon.co.uk, so the review will only show up on that one, not on .com. It's so annoying as that happens with mine. I get a more reviews on the .com site. It's still good though!! xx

Thanks for purchasing the book. I still need a lot of work on my writing, so I hope it doesn't read badly. Compared to you and some of the other authors on here, my book probably isn't amazing. The second novel did much better, and I had more experience in editing and writing by that point, since I wrote that first one back in 2017.

I'll have to shift to the uk version then. A couple people I know bought the book from the UK and France.

Haha! What an awesome way to promote your new book! And congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment.

And for real, it makes such a difference to be able to get feedback.

It does make a big difference, and I never understand people who don't want to grab all the wonderful free advice available on Fanstory. I've learnt so much on here from some amazing authors.
I'm glad you liked my poem, Cristine, :)) I meant every word, I can't thank you all enough. Thanks for the congrats, my friend!! Have a lovely weekend. :)) Sandra xx

Thank you so much, Pookietoo. Yes, I've written quite a few books for young children and teenagers, and a time-travel trilogy and this one for my older readers. And I have a book of poetry, all of which are published. I do enjoy writing, and more so since joining FS and being shown how to write seriously. Thanks again, my friend. You enjoy your weekend, too! :)) Sandra xx

Would you read my tornado story? It is #12 in my portfolio. I try hard in these contests. Most don't go well.

Comment from Bill007

Good

Very clever way to thank your audience and fans! It's clear, concise and not a 'sappy' thank you. The infused humor gives it a special, simple charm. I hope your book does well.

Hello Sandra,
Wonderful poem with marvelous news about the publication.
The cover looks great and the content even better.
If only Amazon would feature books published by their own KDP site
to increase sales. What a 'novel' idea.
Six star for perseverance and success!
Well done.
Best wishes.
Robert

That would be a good idea, perhaps we should mention it to them? As you say, it would be in there interest to do so. Do you think they'd listen us? I don't!! Lol! Thank you for the congrats, and the lovely sixth star, my friend. Warm hugs. Sandra xxx

I really do know what you mean I have had so much help on this site with dealing with 'nits' in editing I just become blind to when writing a long piece of work.

They are lovely people on here, aren't they, Meia. I'd never have fulfilled my dream without you all. I hope you enjoy reading my novel if you do buy it. That will be amazingly nice of you if you do. I think we all go blind when editing our own work, our brains refuse to see errors!! Lol. Love and hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Yes, life is fun when you're publishing books. Congrats, and I need to get off of my lazy butt and get one of the 15 books I have in front of people. What a wonderfully written poem. Best of luck with your writing!

Have a great day, and God bless.

Good for you!! You are an accomplished novelist, which I hope to be soon. Now I know Amazon is a place to try. It is awfully decent of you to thank fan storians for their help. I have spags pointed out to me, fix them and have a much better write.

Aw, thank you, Sherry. It's only by listening to the wonderful novelists on here that I even started writing a novel. My first attempt at writing a short story was littered with errors, but it had everyone telling me it had to be turned into a novel. And with their help and advice, it became a trilogy. Five years later they were all published and I was featured in a magazine. I owe Fanstory a debt of gratitude I can never hope repay properly. Yes, you must go with Amazon, look up KDP which is their publishing department and you'll see how easy it is just following their simple instructions. Thank you again, my friend. Warm hugs. :)) Sandra xx
