That sounded really fascinating, Barbara. I shall have to check to see if we have them here. I've not heard of any. As you say, it does help you to get known. It was a shame that it wasn't advertised, you might have sold a lot more. Thanks for this! Well done on being first on sales. :)) Sandra xx

    I wasn't happy about the information not getting out. I keep hoping they'll send me an after-action report. I will certainly mention that. Thank you for the support.

Well, I'm so happy for you, Barbara. Compared to the other authors you did really well. Writing books and getting them published these days is nigh on impossible. I'm glad you're succeeding in some small way. Hugs, Ulla:)))

    Thank you for the support. I'm sure your writing would do well in the market. Thank you for the support.

    I wish we had markets like that. Oh, we do, but they are for Spanish authors, of course, lol.

    I hadn't thought of that, but true.

Yeah, I'm glad to know what you had a productive week at the author fair. Thirteen sales from one event is a good number, and if you could keep any part of them as regular readers, it would be a jackpot. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm hoping I do. Thank you for the support. I am wondering why the four stars. You didn't indicate anything that I need to fix.
reply by Ric Myworld on 24-Aug-2023
    I don't know why that happens Barbara. I apologize. I never five anyone less than five stars. To me, the effort is worth that. I'll get that corrected.

    My finger often rolls and so it happens to me. The piece has to be really horrible for me to give four stars.

    I don't usually make many suggestions, but if it's terrible and there are lots of mistakes, I just say it needs a little work and point out a few. But I give them a five for effort. Heck, I still make careless mistakes because I write so fast and hate editing. LOL. Thanks for pointing out the four. I would never give you anything but a six if they gave us enough to go around. :-)

I am glad this was a positive experience for you. It's a sad commentary, though, on the literary state of America. In the Catskills, once, my wife (then alive!) heard of a tiny local fire station inviting people to come and speak, of all things, about Gabby Hayes, who once had a farm in that region. There were far more people present there!
