NEWSLETTER FOR MAY

The month of April was a month of firsts for me.  Copies of my first book, my first book signing, my first newspaper interviews and my first month of working two shifts a day!

I always thought once authors published their books the hard part was done. Wow! I was so wrong. Then comes the phone calls that are a necessary part of marketing, selling the books to interested people, keeping up with the accounting, all the receipts involved and numerous other things I was clueless about.

That must sound like I'm whining, but I'm not. It has been an incredibly busy but exciting time. The first month's sales exceeded my expectations and the comments from the people who have read my book have been so kind. The comment I heard most often was "I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to know what the next person's moment was." That made me very happy because my hope was that people would want to read my book from start to finish without getting bored and putting it down. Thanks to the readers!!

With all of this going on, I have also started book number two. The name of it is "I Can't Believe I Did That!"  The stories I have so far have made me giggle while listening to the person I was talking to. Have you ever had fish eat the dead skin off your feet? Me either...

If you have a story for my second book, please e-mail me at pballardnc1029@yahoo.com and tell me what you can't believe you did.  I'm sure all of us have something we can't believe we did.



If you missed my April newsletter go to the bio page and read it.


Stay tuned to my web page. I will try to update it once a month.
