Always NICE to piles of your own book. SMILE.

24 copies of the ‘Ambling Guide for Seniors‘. This is THE most popular. I am THRILLED. I did have any expectations for that book! Wow. I am so chuffed. OK … I will let you into a SECRET. I v. rarely tell folks, even family, as to what my next book will be. I don’t like to tempt fate. But, on June 1, 2024, I plan to start writing ANOTHER ‘Ambling Guide for Seniors‘. No, NOT for the Bold Coast — but it somewhere else in Maine. I am getting nagged to write one for THIS area, i.e., ‘Lake Winnipesaukee‘. That might have to be next year. SMILE.

12 copies each of the ‘Two Days or Less‘ & ‘Souvenir & Guide‘. That is COOL. The lady who runs the ‘Dockside Treasures‘ is a consummate retailed. She knows her stuff. WOW. She knows exactly what sells. So, the title she orders, & the quantities, give me the BEST gauge of what sells. I am very grateful.

So, YES, I am off to Lubec next week to deliver the books. Smile. Yes, of course, I could have had the books shipped, BUT this gives me an excuse to visit Lubec, & how can I resist that.


I ordered a few more books, for MYSELF, to give away as gifts. That is ANOTHER joy & privilege of being an author.

SMILE.

Not exactly new. I had had others in this ‘Bold Coast’ series (of 5) in the ‘Best Sellers‘ list. This (below) was from July 2023.

Click to ENLARGE. Yes, #4 PAIDMaine Travel Guides‘.

I know some of you won’t believe this, but I don’t check this stuff. I just happened to notice it today. SMILE.

It is NOT making me rich — that is a fact & a given. Check the prices. But it makes me happy & for I, happiness is better than money (because people tell me that money doesn’t make you happy (though I am not totally convinced of that)).

SMILE.

Click to ENLARGE. This one is at #26 — giving me TWO in the TOP 50.

BIG GRIN.

It is NOT making me rich — that is a fact & a given. Check the prices. But it makes me happy & for I, happiness is better than money (because people tell me that money doesn’t make you happy (though I am not totally convinced of that)).

But, I did NOT write them for the money. That was a good job. Smile.

It is GRATIFYING & to I that is ALL that counts. Smile.

Making the ‘Maine Travel Guide’ Best Seller list is NOT new. Last year I had TWO books make it to #1 — albeit fleetingly. Again, didn’t make me rich.

SMILE.
