You wrote your book on a WHAT?

Ever wonder what a pint-size electronic ‘tablet’ can do for you (besides cyber-surfing)? I discovered that my tablet could do quite a lot, actually. On it, I wrote 55,000 words - the first draft of ‘Letter from Alabama,’ a biography and narrative history of grace, a family’s love, and life in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. After the first draft of the book, I transferred the project to a laptop for the major editing, formatting, and more. Here are links to the end result: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VQIIODK or: https://goo.gl/SoOdjs
