In any great adventure, a misadventure.

July 8, 2011

In any great adventure, a misadventure.

I thought I might escape with the books now on sale.  "Twas not to be.

I sent out 94 sale flyers with the wrong telephone number for Xlibris.  I sent out a porn site.  Quickly made 90 telephone calls and sent out four notes.  Had even sent a flyer to the Obamas.

Fortunately, most people were amused (though I left a lot of messages).  A good friend who told me about my mistake was as shocked as I was.

Again, I am a member of the Fallen Human Race.

The posters came--pretty.  The bookstore took one of each, Paradise Lost 2011 and the Grandmother's Hymns.  I gave the owner accompanying book marks and cards.

The newspaper reporter is trying to get my story and pictures in the July 20 paper.  Ralph's Books will hope to have some in stock by then.  It will be a very close call.

Jackie mailed your copies of the three books today. Enjoy.

Blessings,
Grandma Helen
