Hi Ann
This is a well written story about getting your book together. Maybe we could do this for Christmas poems too. I don't know if the rest write poetry too. Congrats on the publication of the book. I'll look it up.
I now how much work it is because I just had a book published too. It is called "The Interloper and other stories in prose and poetry". It is available on Amazon.com and there is a link to it at the end of my profile page.
Hope you holidays were the best.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a wonderful weekend.

I was so inspired by the story of how this project came together and then took off to a successful end. I finally found the courage to do something that has been a dream of mine since the age of fourteen. I am now 81 years young. Growing up in Detroit I was attracted to writing songs, but I never found the opportunity to learn how to play an instrument, so I turned my songs into poems, many of which has appeared here on FanStory. Well I finally found help and have turned some of those poems back into songs and have recorded some of them. I will share the story later. As for now, a huge congratulations to the team that has successfully crafted this great book of stories that are sure to please all who read them.

Can't wait to read your story about turning songs in poems and vice versa! I, also am 81 years young and I understand the fun of doing something one has always wanted to do. Good luck and thanks for reading my post. ann

Thank you, Ann, for this excellent promotion, and I will head over to the videos. Sounds like you had a lot of fun with that book. I must send you the info you asked for the other day too. This was a good reminder!How do you get a copy of the cover from Kindle, do you know? Mine always come out just as thumbnails which is useless. Many thanks.

Congrats are very much in order here!
To have a book published just be an incredible feeling. One I wish for. Then to complete this task with other FanStorian friends simply multiplies that feel.
I wish you all the success and sales many many times over...
Cheers,
John

What an excellent tale of the process you went through to create this book.
Self-publishing is a challenging road to travel and I wish you all well and plenty of sales.

Comment from Karen Cherry
Congratulations on being published. Having your name in print is a wondrous thing. I am a footnote in a poetry book, and on the acknowledgement page of at least one persons' book, but, as of yet, I have not been published for my writing yet. I live in hope. Kudos again for this accomplishment. Karen

What a fantastic achievement. A group of Fanstorians getting together and joining in on a group publishing effort. I wish you all great success and I look forward to seeing the work in print. How do I order a copy? Is it possible to get it in Australia?

I'm going to check with Terry Broxson to be certain as to how to order our book in Australia.
Checked with Terry. His answer: Anywhere you order books, it should be available. You won't find it on a shelf at the bookstore, but it can be ordered.
Thanks so very, very much for the kind and generous review. I appreciate. ann
