Fun with Lora Brooke and Sonny

Lora Brooke and her mommy Marsha came to visit Mackie and Sonny. Lora Brooke liked giving Sonny animal crackers.

Books to be delivered Thursday

For anyone who planned to come and watch the books come off the truck, hold up a couple more days. The books will be shipped on June 2nd but won't arrive until Thursday the 4th. It seems like forever!

Rachel Hodge from the Greenwood Commonwealth is going to interview me on Friday the 5th for a newspaper article about the book. Give me suggestions about what you'd like to know about.

Book!

I guess you all thought I'd given up my own blog. Not exactly. I've been busy trying to get a book to the printer before everyone stopped believing I was even writing a book. Well, the book Maxine Harper's Journey of Hope is now in the hands of the printer. And on Tuesday, June 2nd. 1,000 copies of the book will be delivered to my parents' house!

Yes, I'm excited - and a little nervous, too. It isn't easy to open your life story to the world. I have so many questions. Was I too sad in some places? Was I too trivial in others? Did I do justice to the wonderful people I wrote about in the book? What about all the people I wasn't able to include? Will they too know how precious they are to me? Finally, will anyone want to read the book? I guess I'll find out the answer to the last question very soon.
