Why am I so insanely happy? Well, for one, this book took on a life of it's own during the writing. As a result, I've had very little income during the past year. What the hell. It was worth it, even if I do end up like Edgar Allen Poe ... penniless, drunk and dead in a gutter. There's never been a book like this in this area. Maybe my grandkids will benefit from it someday, if I ever get any grandkids. I'm in no hurry for that, though, just in case my kids are reading this. Don't want them going out to have random sex to make a baby on my account.
First things first. I have to get the sponsorships to be able to publish this monstrosity. No easy task in this economy, but I'll do it nonetheless. Secondly, I have to move, and with very little income, looks like I might be living in a tent under the Washington Street bridge. Life is a never-ending adventure when you write for a living. Never a dull moment.
More about the book in the next installment. Hey, the library's closing. Free wireless and air conditioning. It just doesn't get any better than this. Wonder if there's a cot in the back...
Congratulations Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read your comprehensive new book and to look at all of the pictures that you've collected. I bet it will be the best one ever. Your hard work and endless hours of research, barely having enough time to do anything else, is certainly deserving of an award, a big one.
It is my pleasure to sponsor your book. Thank you for bringing the past to life and bridging the gap into the present. Ohioans are in for a wonderful surprise.
Damn woman, you did it !
Heard you on the the seneca county radio this morning. Great hearing you talk about your book, very interesting. Against all odds, you just keep plugging away.
ReplyDeleteHave a question? How many people are listed in the book? And will I be able to buy your book from your website as well as the bookstores?
Yes, Helene you will be able to buy the book from my website, as soon as it's up and running. It is currently under construction, but hopefully, it will be on the net sometime next week. Just have to work out the kinks.
ReplyDeleteAs far as bookstores, it will definitely be available from Paper and Ink in downtown Tiffin, and I am currently negotiating with other bookstores in Ohio.
Thanks a bunch for your interest in Calamity and Courage!
See you at the Heritage Festival...
