Good Morning To All,
I just lost a very long blog — Lots of little things — Gratitude for all who has helped me with the book, and by some great miracle; It could become film, and only today by a tender mercy, I have been working with a gentleman who is gsucoing to help me get news of it in some Spanish speaking papers here in San Francisco, and also introduce me to Mexico City. I know that you get really tired of reading about, “Pinkhoneysuckle,” but I cannot thank you enough for those who intervene and endeavor to help me with those things which are just beyond me.
I would be delighted to see any of you at the large book show in Sonoma, California on September 22nd. It is not a competition, only some of us like to see who can sell other things as well as books, and you can sit down at my booth, and we will have a chat! I have a good friend who is a wise man and whose family lives in Mexico city, but now that he is a lawyer in America, he just loves his other company, and he is going to help me to get some computer updating on the book.
“Pinkhoneysuckle,” is a timely book, and it is many things from a story to lost innocence, so it has been hard to market, because it does, or has affected so many lives. I pray for all of those people who still can not tell you of their lives, for they feel they will be called, “Poor White Trash,” so America has never been very kind to its mountain folks except for the towns which pop up and carry either artist works the people cannot afford, and so many who just thinks it is the way of a home just to break down, so then you get another one, so loosing becomes a cycle.
Where am I with it all now? A few blessed people have taken it in to their work, community, or social settings, and I am awaiting a couple of things which came out of Hollywood, but those folks are busy, and it is shame provoking to me to ask them to help me with my work when they have precious little timme in their own lives.
My brother thinks I have just given up, but it is a way better book than to do that, and somehow and someway I will find a way. I notice that we are getting more and more free classes in the internet to address marketing and all such things we need to know about, but I cannot tell you if it adds to book sales. Just know for certain that your best help are the people who give a dime about you. I will go on record to state that I do not believe all of, “The How To Dollars,” were not here a few years back, and it leaves many of us shocked needin to advance ourselves with a computer arsenal which we call books I do thank you all so much with blessings beyond my heart. for I feel cheered up to pick up your notes and to start reading.
But I will not tell you of places where I like to read most.
Love To All, Barb
