waiting for the time when I could write it.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, I dedicated the entire year to working on the draft manuscript.<\/p>\n<p>In April, my heart&#8217;s dream was a reality when Smashwords published my book &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Songs for the Pilgrimage &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Later that month on April 20, it became available on Amazon and all retail booksellers in print &#8211; paper back.<\/p>\n<p>I never know WHO has purchased my books\u00a0 &#8211; but I know how thrilled I am when they do.<\/p>\n<p>On Smashwords and Kindle my book is only $7.50.<\/p>\n<p>On Amazon and at all other booksellers, it is 17.50 for paperback copies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The book is a collection of poems, journal entries, stories and meditations on the Psalms.<\/p>\n<p>When you order my book, just take a moment to envision how delighted I am to learn about that sale.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine me dancing through my kitchen and saying, &#8220;Thank you my dear friend!&#8221;\u00a0 Because I am doing\u00a0 just that.<\/p>\n<p>My books come from a heart of love &#8211;
