Thank you, Debbie! I had to take the paperback book off just for today and tomorrow. After they sent me my 'proof' book, I signed it off because it was perfect. But I had a message from a friend who bought a copy later, and the print was all over the place in the centre pages. I had a word with Create Space, and I've been sorting it with them. I hope to get it back on in a day or two. Thanks for the congrats, though. Big hugs. :) Sandra xxx

Thank you so much, Meeshu, for the congrats. It's a dream worth chasing and doing. Just write, my friend, and you'll find you will get there. It is a painful, joyful road to walk along, but the feeling when you get to the ' The End' bit, is beyond description, and something that will stay with you forever. But, it's also when the really hard work begins. I am sure you will make it. Have confidence in yourself, don't let anyone put you off, just go for it, and you will get there. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xx

Congratulations! Not only for publishing your second book (I know how frustrating it can be!) but for posting this inspirational piece. Yes, FS has a few quirky things going on that drives everyone crazy, but as you say, the help and inspiration it gives would-be authors is fantastic.
I can't wait for you to start posting the third book in the trilogy - I'm sure it will be just as exciting as the first two.

Well done!

Hello Sandra,
It's About TIme, at least, that's what I think it is about.
Congratulations!!! The book looks wonderful.
Just seeing it published must put a smile on your face.
Wait till all those adoring fans show up at your front door. Knock, knock
You may need to move to a castle with a MOAT!
Well done, my friend.
Enjoy.
No sixes left.
Robert

LOL!!! I wish! I don't think I'd even bother with the moat. It would be, cuppa teas all round! :)) Thank you so much, Robert, for your wonderful review. I laughed at the 'About Time' I'm trying to find another good title that has 'That Time' as the ending. I@ve had 'This Time-THAT TIME, Beyond THAT TIME, now I need to come up with another one. I'm sure I'll come up with something, I have to write the book first, so I have ALL THAT TIME to think about it. :)) I hope to be posting in the next few days. Thanks again, my friend. :) Sandra xx

-Congratulations, my friend.
-A great book cover and title.
-I like your announcement, too.
-It is exciting to see all that
you have accomplished, and
also nice to give recognition
to FS members, including
your final thoughts on not
giving up on a dream.
-Hope the book does well,
and gets rave reviews!!
-Mildred and company are
very pleased, as well; do
you think Sir John is, too?!
-However, he might be
thinking of the profit margins (ha,ha).

I think Sir John will be keeping his eye on his profits, especially as he has to pay for Francis' upkeep! But mainly, I think he was just very relieved to get Francis and Gwendolyn out of the manor! lol. Thank you so much for the golden 6 and the congrats, my wonderful friend. Now Veronica has to find out what her next assignment is, but at least she won't be alone this time. I will look forward to your thoughts on it when I begin posting, which will be within the next few days. Big hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars, Sandra. I forgot about Sir John supporting Francis! I look forward to the first chapter.

Thank you so very much, Robyn! It's magical! Since receiving and holding my book in my hands, it's been a roller-coaster of emotions. I'll come back to earth soon. (Well, perhaps a bit later, enjoying the moment! LOL) Big hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Congrats on all your books being published. It is exciting to read that another writer here at Fanstory is published. I have three books of poetry on amazon. It is a dream that can happen.

Thank you, mermaids, for the congrats, it is a dream, but one that has now been realised. I would love every writer on here to feel the emotions that run through you when you get to hold your book in your hands. Well done you, too, three books of poetry! I hope they are doing well. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xx

Thank you so much, Brett, for the congrats. Yes, it was a real kick to hold my book in my hands, and to know it is now being read in the homes of people I've never met or never known. I will be posting the beginning of book three in a few days time. It's so exciting! Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xxx

Whoo-hoo, no one more deserving! Congratulations and best of luck on sales. While the reviewing my help a little, it is the brilliance of the writer that gets the job done!

Thank you, Ellen! I haven't come down from the clouds yet, lol. How are you? I haven't seen you on here for ages. So many are leaving, and loads of new writers joining. It's nice to still have some of the old-timers here. (Not that you're old!) :)) Thanks again, my friend. Big hugs. :) Sandra xxx
