Debut Novel Success

Kicking back today with a leisurely kayak outing, but not before I say, THANK YOU.

My novel launch was a huge success. The paperback copy started the day ranked #435,371 on Amazon.com and by 10:00 p.m., A Stop in the Park, found its way to #357 out of six million books. I have my wonderful family, friends, colleagues at the City School District of Albany and my online community of friends/followers to thank for that wonderful moment.

On top of that, I clicked onto my hometown's newspaper, The Saratogian, today and saw this article about my journey with A Stop in the Park

It's been an amazing, but exhausting few days, so I'll leave you with good wishes for a great week. I'll be on the lookout for those kick back moments that make us stop, let go, and focus on the wonder that surrounds us everyday.
