It has been 2 long years in coming but my book is finally done.  PTL   The title is How I Survived My Doctors' Care and What I Learned Along the Way.  After what we had been through with my illness, I wanted to encourage others, share knowledge, and of course, praise God.  When my husband suggested that I write a book, I never knew how long of a process it would be; but as I look back, I'm glad I did it.  However, had it not been for the grace of God, the book still wouldn't be done.  So many times I sat down to write and had nothing.  But as I prayed, the words would start to flow.  God is truly amazing! 

My husband has been tremendous.  He was there for me while I was sick and he has helped me so much during the writing of the book, and during the self-publication.  He did all of the print layout, cover design, and is now working on the website.  Our website is www.familytalents.com.  Because of time constraints, he has put my press release out as our home page so that a click anywhere on the page will allow the reader to send me an email for further info.  Hopefully in the next few days, he will find the time to finish the website so that readers can click on Paypal to purchase the book and we can also have links for other products that we wish to offer for sale. 

A different phase of the book starts now with promotion.  I'm not quite ready to give the book over to a distributor who will want 55% of my book sales so I am having to be creative in ways to get my book "out there."  Doors are beginning to open with chiropractors, health food stores, and Christian book stores.  I am looking forward to having a book signing very soon at one of the largest Christian book stores in the Orlando area. 

One day I overheard my husband telling someone he had just met that I am an author.  It seems strange to think of myself as an author.  I would have never believed that I would write a book.  Life has turned out quite differently than I would have imagined when David and I married 24 years ago.  David is the one who has always said he wants to leave his mark on society.    I would have been happy to raise our children and then spoil our grandkids. 

I can say this that whenever the Lord works things out, they are so much better than I could have done.  I am excited to see what tomorrow will bring.
