Every Penny Counts

The Vernal Express newspaper ran a story about me today. Being a small town newspaper, it isn't available on line. But here is the "just" of it:
I was inspired to write "The Power Of A Penny" after I found an old penny next to a gas pump. Remembering my own fond memories about pennies helped me to "put pen to paper in my new novel, which celebrates the unknown worth of a penny by following it over the course of a hundred years in circulation. Each different chapter is a different story about a person who receives it and learns a valuable life lesson. In a day and age when people are counting every penny, this book reminds people that every penny can make a difference."

It was a nice little article and I appreciate the Vernal Express running it for me.

Last week I received an email asking me why the free audio download for my book isn't available through Tate Publishing yet. When I checked into it, I discovered that supposedly last February they sent me information telling me that I needed to abridge my manuscript so it will fit on one CD. Some how I missed this memo, sooooo.... I am working on reducing the story by 7,200 words to make this happen. I have discovered this is not an easy task! Hopefully I can send it off by tomorrow and they can start recording it very soon. So thank you for being patient and I promise the download will be worth the wait! Until then, you will just have to enjoy my book the old fashioned way - by reading it instead of listening to it!
