I Feel Like a Real Author Now!

A friend just texted me to say that my book is live on Barnes & Noble for Preorders. I was so excited that I went right online and, sure enough, there it is! Is this the big leagues or what? I'm just the same old Cheryl but my book is right up there with the big guys. I''m so excited! 

I have to figure out how to add a photo of the book cover to the Amazon listing but it's live anyway - readers can preorder from it now. I know my helpers Bailly and Nelly will assist me to get this right. This whole three-year project has been a long-distance effort: My book coach (Bailly) is from Connecticut, my editor (Blue) is from Florida, my proofreader (Chloe) is from Los Angeles, my graphic artist (Nelly) is from Canada, and my cheerleader (Hank) is watching golf in the other room!

I poured my heart out on this one. . . hope you enjoy it! If you do, please leave a review on either the B & N  or Amazon sites. If you don't like it, maybe go have a sandwich or something?                         

                                                                          More soon, 

                                                                   

                                     

How Can I Purchase a Book?

 I'm so happy (and surprised!) at how fast my books are selling. Some people have already read theirs and left comments that make my day. Like these:

"Every page reminds me of my own life! It put me right backin my 5-11 year old neighborhood. Thank you for this!"  ~Jim M

"Awwwwww...What can I say? Finished reading your memoir....so happy, so sad, so familiar. It pulled my heart stringsI loved it al!"  ~Sarah J.

"I want to recommend your work to my sister. Is there an internet link she can click on to purchase?"

~Jim M.

To answer Jim's question - and maybe yours too - the book will be available on Amazon for $19.95 starting May 6th. 

 If you live close by and want a book sooner, just text me and se'll set up a delivery or pick-up locally.

If you don't live close by and can't wait until May 6th (my kind of reader!), you may send $24.42 (includes shipping) on Venmo or PayPal, along with your mailing address, and I will send you a signed  book.

I'm so excited that you are enjoying this "Boomer" trip down memory lane!

Books Are Here!

Two cartons of books arrived on Thursday! I mailed nine books out to those who ordered them on Friday; you should receive them either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on your zip code. I've also delivered a few books to people who live nearby. Seems I'll have to order more soon!

I must be thinking of boats this morning: here are a few fun photos, some that didn't make the book: 

 Chapter 3: Nancy "beached" in the canoe at Pawtuckaway

Chapter 25: Mary Elizabeth and Joanne in Joanne's new blow-up boat.

                                              Chapter 13: The Kennebunkport Ferry, 1966

                                           

                                                    Chapter 36: The Viking Keri in Paris, our disco ship!

   

Smooth sailing!
