Congratulations!  I'm glad to hear of your success.

BTW--my grandfather was a trainman for the Chicago Northwestern in Marshalltown Iowa.

Subject: [stylist] Update on my book publishing progress

Hello everyone, so, I thought you might want an update on the book publishing. True to his word,Allan with some persistence got the book uploaded to Lulu.com. I received an email saying that publication of the book was successful. Today, I ordered the proof copy to be sent to me. So, that will probably be a two week waiting period. We are there and I did find someone to prove the final copy of the people who own this mobile home that I am renting have expressed an interest in reading the book. So, last Saturday during a very nice occurrence of pleasant weather, I went walking and returning from my errand saw her babysitting the kids outside. So, I asked if she would like to prove the copy for me and compare it to our electronic copy. She said yes she would be happy to do that. So, that copy should be on its way pretty soon. It is a good thing we did this now because now I am in the process of thinking about how much I want to relocate to Austin. I don't mind doing that I just need to work some things out. I will probably be there for at least a year and I am sure I can get him plenty of trouble during that time. :-) You know, plan BNC is to write my second novel but let's get the first one done first.

So, I just thought you would want to know that we are on the way to publishing the novel. I have been talking about it for so long and it was one of my goals when I relocated to complete the project.Glenn would be happy. :-)

So, when I was in Austin, I met a man who lost his eyesight unexpectedly. Guess what he did for a living for a while? He was a railroad engineer. Fitting. We spent a lot of time together helping each other out. :-) And, I did dedicate the book to my number one engineerGlenn  and, you know what question I don't want to read the story for a long time. As much as I loved writing it, it is time for someone else to read it. :-)
