A Penny Richer

Thursday night, my wonderful sixteen year old son broke his arm motorcycling. He did such a great job of it that an orthopedic doctor named Dr. Burke Young had to be called in and he did surgery on Friday night to repair all of the damage. I gave him one of my books and he told me that when he was younger, his mom would always pick up a penny and say, "Now I am a penny richer." I'm sure a visit to the ER, a two night stay in the hospital along with the five hours of surgery are going to cost a pretty penny so I'm picking up everyone I can find!

Saturday morning we got to check my son out of the hospital just in time for me to attend a book signing at Gales in Vernal. Several of my friends came and bought signed books to give as Christmas gifts for their friends and family. There were also several Gales customers that I met who told me how much they enjoyed the book. One nice lady told me she really liked how the characters kept changing and the penny moved through the book. It was nice to meet so many nice new friends.

I know Saturday's are busy days, so for anyone who couldn't make it, I will be at the Uintah County Library on Thursday night from 6-8PM, for an author's night. I have been asked to talk about the book and why I wrote it and then do booksignings after. If you need more information, email me: thepowerofapenny@gmail.com
