Hope the next book will be ready, but if not, the readers in the group will have something to look forward to.<br /><br />Never Give Up<br />JoanJoan Y.

I have to admit that I don't even know if my book, Strength Renewed, is even in our library! We have about six municipal libraries in Port Elizabeth but I no longer go to them, as I get my books from a Christian library and of course on Kindle.I can't believe I haven't thought of this avenue! This I will rectify!

The problem is my library has carried my books for several years now (I've donated copies as I published them) and they have yet to ask me to do any kind of event, book club or otherwise. So maybe I'm on my way up and this will be the beginning of a new era for my books - E :) elysabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-7871855016354442102014-05-12T18:04:40.867-04:002014-05-12T18:04:40.867-04:00Congratulations Elysabeth - that's great work ...Congratulations Elysabeth - that's great work and a good example of the value of persistence (and of local libraries - mine has been amazing).

I found out about the book club Wednesday evening and went to it on Thursday and took my proof copy with me, introduced myself to the librarian who was doing the book club and we talked afterwards about me either being a selected read for October of having my own event. I'm glad my friend invited me to the book club and since she doesn't have to go to work until elysabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-46409035423352837272014-05-12T16:04:03.576-04:002014-05-12T16:04:03.576-04:00What a great idea to contact librarians!

Being on the NYTs BSL offers lots more recognition with that success. <br /><br />There are authors who are freelancers for book publishers and make a living writing - that's certainly success also. Other authors may be thrilled to have several books published the traditional route. Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.com
