I read somewhere that over 80% of adults want to write a book, but only 3% ever get to 'The End' of a draft. That means that 97% of people who want to write a book never finish.
Stats like that make accomplishments like getting my “author’s box” of books all the more rewarding.

It’s neat to touch it in paper form after editing it for so long. I almost feel like Shirley MacLaine in Terms of Endearment when she goes into the nursery to check on her baby and pinches her arm to make her cry to make sure she is still alive.

This shy person would like to extend a huge thanks to everyone who has shown and will continue to show their support with every “like,” comment, repost, purchase, tell-a-friend—all of it—has been so appreciated.
Reviews are more meaningful from verified purchases. If you have not purchased a copy, you can do so at Amazon or through the publisher, BCS. [If you buy through the publisher, they will honor a 30% discount using the promo code: HASKELL]
