We are getting towards the end of an 8 year endeavor, my friends! Some of you have been patiently waiting for many years. Now as I work with kind editors, indexer, and book producer, we are on track for publishing in the next few months. No, I can’t be specific and unexpected things can happen, so let’s just say “quite possibly by the end of 2019!” But I can not guarantee since I’ve never done this before and I never dreamed it would take 8 YEARS. But it will be worth it.
The sole purpose of this Blog is to help me determine (when the time comes) how many books to order for anticipated immediate sales right off the bat. I don’t even know how much the book will cost you, but you will be under NO commitment-to-buy if you help me out in this little survey.
I’m using this blog so I won’t jam my email-box and I can always refer back to this list for priority mailings if I have more orders than I have books. But I can guarantee I will fill and refill my Amazon orders regularly so every one who wants a copy gets a copy as quickly as possible. And you will be able to buy directly from Amazon once they have it up-for-sales.
So, all you have to do is post a comment below with your name and “Yes I want a book!” You can phrase it any way you like. 😉 (Again, no commitment, since you don’t even know the price.) To add a comment, click on the little “conversation bubble” by the heading of this blog. No worries if you don’t see your comment right away. If this is the first time you’ve commented on a post there is a delay.
Ready … Set … GO!
FYI As of about 4 PM on Thursday, September 19, it looks like 136 book reservations made. 🤗

Any other hints about number of pages, price, etc??? Am interested but would want more of those details! Thanks.
Hi, Cynthia, good questions–and no one is under any commitment to buy at this point since I don’t even know the price yet. I can tell you there will be just about 300 pages in the book. It is about 25% photos–both instructional and artistic in nature with some charts, graphs, worksheets … Probably soft cover to keep price as low as possible. Melinda
Definetely! More than one book.

Congratulations on your book. I really enjoyed the classes, even though I didn’t finish my project. Maybe Fairhaven will win the prize to have you again. Next book, I would like to be a proofer, for English only. Definitely not as an incentive to finish your project; however, that will happen. Soon, I hope.
