FAVORITE BOOK

I met a former co-worker at the grocery store the other night and wanted to pass along what he shared with me while we listened to the thunder and rain in the produce section.

He bought a copy of my children's book Bud the Bunny for his daughters. The youngest latched on to it in a mighty way. Recently, having been named 'star of the week', she has shared with her class at school some of her favorite things ... including Bud the Bunny.

As a self-published adventure through Lulu.com, Bud the Bunny sales are not spectacular. And because I have been focusing on ACDT, I have not had a dealer's table at a con, nor do I intend to for at least this coming year. Therefore, Bud is not hopping around much offline these days either.

But the fact that Bud is someone's favorite book, and he got to visit a room full of kids at a school, warms my heart in a way massive sales wouldn't. Massive sales would help pay my gas bill, but that's a different kind of warmth.

Thank you to everyone who has bought a Bud, online and off. We appreciate your support.
