It's great to see you share such a heartfelt story. You've done a fantastic job bringing attention to the important message behind Jonathan's Story. It sounds like a deeply moving and eye opening read. I'm sure that it is one that many people can benefit from. Your dedication to getting the story out there is impressive. I'm sure the book will find the readers who need to hear Jonathan's voice. Best of luck with its release!

The six stars are for your major accomplishment!!! Congrats. I will certainly be checking it out on Amazon. By the way, I am working on a website that should be up and running by Oct 1. I plan to post a couple of my own books, as well as spotlight books I enjoy. I would like to post your book as one of those -- if you do not mind. It's not likely to result in any sales since no one know about website!!! Is it okay to highlight your book there? ann

Thank you VERY much, Anne! Your words are wonderful, and so are the stars. I particularly appreciate your review as my piece had already expired. I would be delighted and honoured to have my book on your website. Please let me know the details when it's ready. Thank you again.

Congratulations of publishing this book written on your heart, Wendy. I very much enjoyed reading your chapters here as you posted them, and hope this will make a big splash in the publishing world. I have self-published on amazon 12 books of poetry, and I enjoyed all of it but trying to do a little marketing for myself. Oh well! It's for my family, most of all- the ones here and the ones to come. This story is beautiful most of all for your selfless heart and your goal in publishing.

Yes, mine are pretty much for my family too, but the actual process is both challenging and fulfilling. I am glad to have done it, and while I don't expect big sales, I think whoever does read it wil be moved and challenged. Thanks so much for your congratulations, and for the lovely gift of six stars. I am very appreciative of both.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
You are an extraordinary person to advocate for those who are disabled. I'm happy that your family adopted him.
He sounds like a wonderful young man. I agree with you, we should all treat disabled people better. I'm disabled too. Mine is not visible but very disabilitating.
I published two books by myself through Amazon two.
Well done!

Any disability (visible or invisible) which sets people apart and makes the person "different", or feel different, seems to bring disrespect among some, rather than compassion. Yet we are all human, and worthy of being valued and loved. Thank you for this lovely and compassionate review. I appreciate it.

I wish you luck in this project and the sale of your book Wendy. It is an emotional read but, as you say, an important one that shows us everyone needs love and care to thrive and live. Well done,
cheers

I mentioned this earlier, but I received notice the book will be here on Friday...
Now I have to fly to Australia to get your autograph!

Lol. You'll have yours before I have mine. Mine will be here the following week!

Chuckle... A few advantages of living closer to the Amazon warehouses I guess!
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Wendy,
congratulations on publishing the book. I found the story very interesting and at times I was almost overwhelmed as I read the challenges that you and your family and Jonathon faced. I think you would do well to market it locally, at a coffee shop or a book store to get it more exposure. When I wrote my first book, I took several copies to various local papers, and they did stories in the newspaper which led to a book signing at a book store. I don't know if you want to go that route, but I think what you wrote is worth reading, and it will most likely require some more marketing on your part. Best wishes for the future sales gal. You deserve best seller status.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Thank you very much, Tom. Yes, I think I will offer it to a couple of our local bookshops and other places, and see what sort of response I get. I am getting some postcards made as well with the details for ordering online. I appreciate your very positive comments and congratulations.

Wonderful! Congratulations, Wendy! I just got my Kindle copy! Hope you get some profit from it. With my first book, the paperback cost set by CreateSpace was so pricy, that the Kindle copies gave me a little more "profit." But our books are not about profit. You had a very import story to share Jonathon's Story by being his voice!

Thank you very much, Helen. Also for buying one. I hope you enjoy your Kindle copy. Yes, I understand what you mean - paperbacks are more pricey, and hence less profit, but personally, I love to hold a "real" book. I appreciate your very kind review.

Kindle books are so useful when traveling because you can download before you get on a plane and read it even without internet service.
