Oh, I thought it would be like 25 dollars.

How much is a quid?

Hugs and kisses for holiday wishes to anybody celebrating.

Stay safe and happy healthy holiday

I always tell them to get on a Goodreads thread and ask as many questions from other authors as they can. I tell them to expect the work to continue after they hit publish. If they don't intend to promote, they will probably not sell many books. If you want you can send him my email and I'm happy to talk to him.

It's been devastating, but the one thing I've noticed is that most people understand. I had to lay off people who had been with me for over twenty years. It was painful, and there was no pleasant way to do it. But right now, we all have to stay safe first. Everything will sort itself out when it's done.
As far as humanizing your memo- that's silly. Wrapping it in pretty language doesn't lessen the pain. Sometimes the unvarnished truth is more appreciated. Of the 400 or so people we laid off, only one carried on in an unprofessional manner. He was one of the last to go- we held on as long as we could and I personally called him to let him know as soon as this is over, he would be back.
What people don't understand, is that we are not melting down financially because of not doing our job or lack of service. It's the circumstances of this disaster. When it ends, and I know it will, things will get better for everyone.

Thanks, Debz.

Today I was featured in the Independent - a magazine in the UK

Thanks, Grady. It was thrilling.

Thank you, Anna. Thank you all for sharing it with me!

I checked. It's not on there. I think you have to sell a crazy amount of books to get on there in a very limited amount of time.

It just dropped to number 2- oh well!! (sigh).

I looked- not there yet. lol. Who would've thunk it- a joke book?

Me too! What an exciting image to wake up to. According to Amazon, my books outsold 8 million others. Wow- I can't believe it.

So, how do I word that on my bio? It's only one book- Do I put Number one best-selling author on Amazon? Do I just put it after that book?

I made it to Number one on all of Amazon!!
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #1 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
#1 in Children's Joke & Riddle Books (Books)
#1 in Children's Composition & Creative Writing Books

Thanks, everyone. It made it to number 3 today!!! Gives me something to look forward to every morning.

Me too!! Thank you all for your support!!! I love this community.

It's a great validation. I just finished book two. I don't know when the publisher will release it- but I wonder if it will have legs as well!!!

It brought a smile to my face, and you all warmed my heart. It's nice to know the joke book is being useful for kids stuck in their homes. Perhaps even bringing them some joy. I hope their parents don't grow to resent me!!!

My joke book has reached number 4 on all of Amazon!
