This past Tuesday I was blown away by my readers. As a special Valentine's Day treat, I had offered a free Kindle download of my book Sometimes The Wind Blows Sideways: Our Lives with a Special Needs Child to everyone who had visited my blog that day. I did not advertise in advance what I was planning so whoever happened to read that day's post found the surprise. 97 people downloaded the book to their Kindle in less than 20 hours.
Never had I envisioned such an overwhelming response. I know that many more people had visited my site on that day and did not have a device to download the book to, but they still read my blog post for the day. Others mentioned to me that they had shared my information to their support group and passed the word along to their friends. I am very excited that so many have found this book to be helpful. Here is some of the feedback that I have received:
*All you wrote in the book names so many things. Thanks to you I see life in so many ways, thank You.
*I am finding such strength in your book. I just wanted to say thank you for contacting me to see if I was
interested I'm submitting , but at point things were so New . I was still processing and wasn't sure how to share. Just wanted to say Thank you for Sharing all these Wonderful Parents & Special Children's Stories with The
World.
*Just want to say I have found this to be inspirational. I can't put it down.
*What encouragement "Sometimes the Wind Blows Sideways" is to mothers of a special needs child. A compilation written my moms who live victoriously when the wind blows against them is just what every mom needs.
Your responses have been wonderful and I hope that for the next title I can get more writers to submit. If anyone wishes to purchase a paperback edition, it can be found at Amazon.Com via the following link.

Or you can visit the River's End Bookstore to pick up a copy. Tonight I will be there for a reading of a piece of prose that I wrote and if you stop by at 7:00 to listen to all of the readers I will be more than happy to autograph a copy for you. Refreshments are free and the readings have always proven to be wonderful. Hope to see you there!
