Well, I got a copy of the book Residue Of Day yesterday, and glad I did before anyone else bought it. It really needed quite a few adjustments, and some working out of bugs concerning color of title in cover, etc. It looks a great deal better now, and hope to order several copies myself for Christmas gifts for my family.

Oct. 3rd, 2005

Well, this is all so new and exciting to me. I just self published my mothers first poem book, and she would be so proud. I know my work has really now just begun, and will work hard to promote this book. I also have many more in mind, as I will not run out of material for years, seeing how she wrote well over 3,000 poems, plus so much more. Also, since I have been recording her poems, I have found the inspiration to write also. I hope to one day do a book of my own. But, as of now, I am in baby steps.

For almost 2 years, I have put my mothers poems on Authors Den, which can be found at www.authorsden.com ~Her reviews are wonderful there, and I have been encouraged to do a book for her based on their comments and reviews. For a long time, I was pretty much against POD, but have now changed my mind. The way the world is going, we never know what the next day brings, and I made a promise to her to publish her works. I really don't think it would matter to her how I did it, just as long as I did it. Now, like the new show, "My Name Is Earl", I can scratch that off my list of things to do, especially since it was the most important thing for me to do.

I hope as time goes on, and I learn the ropes, this book will do well and people will read her wonderful words.
