A local author told me that she received some income whenever someone looked st/sampled her book. I shall do the same for yours and hope you benefit! Good for you.
Yaay congratulations! 🎉Happy days and I bet you feel great today ( Well i hope you do)

Why off-topic? It shows PMR doesn't stop life...
Well done, you! I'm a painter and it gives me such a buzz if I sell a painting at an exhibition- I know how you feel!
Song loon - was appropriate (and excellent) short read as I sit with local free pass to swimming pool in handbag.... Need to brave internet shop for daughter this week and plan to put your book on list.
Very well done! From personal experience I know what hard work writing and getting a book published is. You must be over the moon!
Mary
Wonderful yogabonnie lady of letters! Will be downloading these to my kindle. 🍾
Congrats Bonnie - well done! Hope it's a sell out, and keep us all posted. As you say, PMR can open doors (as well as close them).. ;-)!

Thank you!! is YOUR book an ebook yet? (too far to get from UK. although is it on amazon usa also???)
Hi Bonnie
I decided NOT to publish / distribute my first book via Amazon etc. due to their complex business procedures and quite high royalties for self / on-demand publishing - which would erode any profit margin after production costs for a relatively small-run production in the PMRGCA audience context. This route would also leave far less to contribute to the PMRGCAuk Charity in terms of donations from net sale proceeds. So, I have kept the process 'In House' at the moment, to keep things simple and also help PMRGCAuk as best I can financially.
That said, quite a few of 'You PMRGCA Lot' (especially outside of the UK!) have expressed an interest in an e.version of my book. So, I'm looking into how to publish and distribute it by that method very soon. Also, my 'Write Me Funny..' book website will be operational shortly with a Paypal facility, so that should enable things generally.
Great to know about your book - I'll take a look in more detail very soon. Ha - 'Boyfriends'? I could write a Mirror Image book about 'Girlfriends'! But better not say any more on that topic right now... ;-/

Oh my gosh, yogabonnie! THAT IS FABULOUS!!! Congratulations! I can wait to read it!!!!

Thank you so much. I am giddy!!!
Wow well done you and it just goes to show that this condition doesn't stop your creativity. If anything, it enhances it.
Congratulations on a fine achievement. Enough to make you want to stand on your head?????????
Well done indeed! I hope this brings you fame - and fortune!
WOW! I am THRILLED for you! It must be simply amazing to see your name on a book cover (let alone your hard work inside that cover.) Congratulations! And thanks for sharing such exciting news with us!
Hooray for YOU yogabonnie - writing 'anything' in my experience is bloody hard work !!!
Now what about poopadoop's great idea for someone to do a 'meta-analysis' of this forum and make some interesting relationships about what bright 'sparks' are on it - IS it the 'disease' or IS it the Pred which has produced such a talented, ingenious and creative bunch !!!???
Well done however you did it ....
thank you!. Maybe it is ..the reason we get the disease... I had thought, reading this before, that everyone seems so bright and fit... and by doing so much or being in so many places at once..(so many hard worker helping people ..not so my my bent alas...) maybe we leave ourselves open to PMR...
Yes - an interesting idea - it made me think of this article I read a while ago about depleted cortisol levels and people who exercise 'too much' (although I am obviously not saying this is the same or even linked to us getting PMR/GCA) :
Brilliant! Lots of marvellous endorphins making you feel euphoric
Great news & well done! I will be getting it for my kindle. I've just seen your lovely website too! 😊
Just looked it up on amazon. Looks interesting. Will definitely add to my pile of books waiting to be read.
An achievement. Congratulations!
