We had an unexpected surprise just the other afternoon. After hearing a rumble outside, we went out to see and found a brown truck with a brown man, smiling as he pulled out brown boxes! By cod, it was our books! They weren't due for another week, but lo and bee-hold, they were here!
He put them all on the porch and we told him what they were. He was so nice. All the commotion had already drawn a crowd, hehehe!
Julie sat on the step with them at first. On the top was one small package, one book by its lonesome. She opened it up.
A gorgeous cover with the soft glow of a burning candle and best of all, my handsome mug is on the lower right-hand side. Weeeeeeee!
Tom, it was a very special day I will always remember. What makes it really special is that--
Tom?
Hey, where'd they pack the nip?

I would love to sign books in Florida, but so far, just here, Maryland and Delaware. I'm happy to sign and giftwrap any books I ship (esp. with the holidays coming!)

How exciting for your books to arrive early - we hope you were pleased with them or did you really prefer the boxes to the books - if you whisper to us we promise we won't tell!!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Oh my that is so very exciting. We want one, a book that is. You can keep the boxes. Are they on Amazon?? We really do want to read the new book. We are so excited. As soon as we read it, we will do a review for your Mom. Take care.
Concatulations on the book! The cover looks great.
Maybe post some info re: shipping charges, though, to Canada and overseas, for those outside of the US who might want to buy it. (Sorry if you have already, the mom's not looked!)
Never mind, we found it on the sidebar. Can't wait
Concats! The books are great but the box is AMAZING! Purrs.

Wow! That is so exciting! Congratulations to you both, Tom and Julie. The cover is great, and we can hardly wait to read it! :)
Awesome cover and I am just going on a hunch, but I bet what's inside is pretty cool too!! Congrats, I know you must be over the moon.
We went to Amazon and see it is available for Kindle! thank you for making that possible!
We're thrilled for you! The cover is very inviting. Let me know if you'd like me to review it at either of my two blogs.

OOOOh! What great boxes! Oh, and the books are very nice, too. That woman reads a lot . . .
Taffy and that woman

Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
I know I say "Leave a pawprint with your thoughts," but I have too many to fitzzzzzz1!(oops) Thank you so much for your well wishes. I've looked around and I'm tickled. The book has been made available in many places and in lots of different ways to read it, so you can choose.
I'll be putting a post up in the next couple of days, to update you and keep my paws on the ground!
Hugs and smoochies to all!
Tom

Luf, Us
Mom's on chapter 8 now Tom.
It's wonderful. We are a Catholic family and the Catholic humor you inject is absolutely wonderful!!!!
Wow congrats to you and Julie on the book! The cover looks fantastic! How exciting! Did you find some nip in there after all? I bet you had a great time with the boxes too. Great 'tocks at 3 o'clock! PS:
I had planned to say something in a post today, but it's Wordless Wednesday and I have to keep my mouth shut. Fat chance!
Anyhow, thanks again for your nice comments. I'm sorry, but they didn't ship the nip. I'll have to raise he** with somebody on that. I'm hoping for a post tomorrow--thankful Thursday. It certainly will be most appropriate.
All for now!
Hugs,
Tom
How practical you are, Tom. They should have packed the nip first!
Love the cover. We'd like to read it but Jan has us on a no nonessentials if you want to eat budget and we all like to eat. So we'll congratulate you and read the other bloggers' reviews as they do them. How exciting for you.
I had the good fortune of receiving my book yesterday...and even better fortune of having today off from work. I spent an enjoyable afternoon reading your book...A great read! Thank you!
Jan and everybody..if you go to Kindle, they have a "Look Inside" for my book which gets you a few free chapters to read. I invite you to take advantage of that and if Santa brings you a Kindle or Nook for Christmas, then you'll have the book that way. If you like the feel of the physical book, of course, then that's different.
Read it any way you can, borrow it, ask your parish priest for it (just kidding) but enjoy it, and spread the word. If you can, write a review for us :) Julie says...I wrote the book for pure enjoyment and to be enjoyed. It's kinda like my aunt who was a great cook. She would spend hours and hours of preparation for each meal her entire life just to make people happy. I can't cook that well, but I'm good at mixing up words, or at least I hope so.
(Tom, this turned into an almost post!)
Tom & Julie

wow, that's fantastic....:)
