The young boy dashed back and asked, 'Mister if you're a rich writer why are you sitting at a little table?' I looked long and hard at the three feet round table<br />I had been given, wondered indeed why I was there at all and said , 'who told you that?' His glance back to his mother said it all. Harsh reality eh? I sold 3 books in 4 hours that day, one to my grandson who I had to let take it to the cashout. I refunded him the money a little later; at least my soul's a little richer.<br /><br />jackleverett.me.ukjack.everett@linone.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218900707615889836.post-60294446577440109162011-01-24T00:22:08.502+00:002011-01-24T00:22:08.502+00:00Yes, JR.

And next month I'm going to be wined and dined at a very posh hotel for getting up on my hind legs. It's not all bad being an author. :-)Geraldine Evanshttp://www.geraldineevans.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218900707615889836.post-8001864833151398362011-01-23T16:17:39.461+00:002011-01-23T16:17:39.461+00:00Good advice, Geraldine.

The same applies to a variety of clubs and organizations.jrlindermuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204855909246670628noreply@blogger.com
