Trailer for Forever Families

I am really looking forward to reading this one - and adding it to my collection,

Ann

My copy arrived yesterday. It's splendid! Hope you enjoy it, Ann!

The trailer looks great!

Congratulations!

That song brings back memories -- two of my sisters and I singing it while waitressing together in our rust-orange uniforms at HoJos.

Great appealing trailer, Shelagh. Congratulations.

Shelagh...

As always you did great, the video says it all !

I saw the book, I must buy a copy. Now we should do a

book titled " Forever Pets," I know Betty would love to

write about Wooffer , me Dusty and I'm sure Abe about

his cat and the many other authors who have loving tales

about their pets, these kind of stories have a great following

since in the USA we have a huge pet lovers and the UK..

Cheers..Joe...

Thanks everyone! Good idea, Joe!

I have a story already for Forever Pets. Love the idea!

I'm so excited by the title " Forever Pets, " I started

working on mine ! I'm sure Betty, ALice, Abe, Victor, Don

would love to join in...It would make a great Christmas

book, I think the front cover should have several kinds of

pets on it with the title..What do you think ? I have a photo

on the top of my first page..great idea !

Cheers...Joe...

When I was a little girl, my family had a border collie named Lady. She lived a long full life, and would make a great story.

I made a difficult personal decision last spring, when I realized I would not be able to meet my self-imposed deadline for RV and do justice to my father's first business, which he started when he was ten. Maybe, if there is a next time....

Or maybe I should just give the idea to Betty or Joe.

LOL! I missed the deadline for my own anthology! I was so busy reading all the submissions, I didn't have time to write. When the pressure was really on, and I had no time at all, I somehow found time to write a 10,000+ words story, edited twenty-six stories, sent out PDFs to all the authors, did the corrections, sent out another round of PDFs, designed the cover (several times!) and formatted the book. It came out a week ahead of time!

Ahh, youth. I think I remember multi-tasking.

What were we talking about again?

Ann..

Did you see my post on your dog story ?

Cheers..Joe..

Yes I did, Joe - talk later?

Ann

Shelagh,

GREAT JOB...AGAIN!

Thanks, Don!

After Forever Pets, you may want to bundle them as a Christmas present - can you get LULU to bundle at a bundle price? Wouldn't you like to put out another anthology in time for Christmas? We all seem to have stories...mine is long, though. I need an editor! Unlike Betty, I can't make my dog talk. I did read her mind, though.....

It's easy I'll add the paragraph from Dusty's

book where the ghost cat talks...

Cheers..Joe..

DK..

Here's the fluffy cat talking to Dusty, which in the end

turns into a puff of smoke ( ghost cat )

All of a sudden the other cat started talking to her in cat language.

( Translated in English ) " Don't be afraid, I'm just a large fluffy

alley cat. I won't hurt you. You look lost, do you live around here?"

Dusty slowly walked closer to the cat, sniffing the air to get a better

smell of his scent. " Can you help me ? I've been lost for almost two

weeks. I can't find my home or my owner."



Cheers...Joe....

I have trouble with people dialogue much less animals...but thanks for the example.

DK....

You can do it ! Like the little train, yes you can !!



Cheers..Joe...

Wouldn't you like to put out an anthology by Christmas? If you do, let me know and I'll buy a copy.

BTW, I received the first submission for the anthology on 6th April this year and the last (yours) on 2nd September. I worked on the anthology every day, so be prepared for an avalanche of submissions, late submissions and requests for free copies. Good luck with getting out an anthology in time for Christmas!

Oh, and it takes six to eight weeks for the book to show up on Amazon if you use Lulu, so CreateSpace might be a better choice.

Alas! There are those of us with publisher credentials and those of us who simply write. It's all I can do to get a story submitted on time... :-(

The books you edit are lovely, and I appreciate the stories. My mom is tickled that I put in a story about her - she's 93 September 15 - so the timing is quite good - a birthday present :-)
