Need a good book to read?

Good morning everyone!

I decided to share something a bit different with you all today. A couple of years ago I decided to write a book. I don't know why and honestly I don't know how I did it. I just sat down at the computer one day and this story just sort of fell out of my head. I tried very hard (although I'm sure some would say not quite hard enough) to get it published; but just couldn't get any agency to take a look at it. I decided to self-publish it through Lulu.com, a print on demand service. There's all sorts of different opinions about the benefits and detriments to self publishing. For me, I decided to go ahead and give it a try because at least my story would be in a book form. I'm still holding out hope that one day someone will want to mainstream publish it for me, so for that reason I've not actually had an ISBN assigned to it. Mainstream publishers tend to frown on "self-publish" books.
Ok, so that was a really long way of telling you nothing that you really care about!!
Since starting my blog I have been exposed to so many great people both in the crafting world and other areas as well. I thought, therefore that I would take the liberty to do a bit of self promoting as it relates to my book. Those who have read it have had nothing but praise for me and the story. I would be honored if any of you would purchase my book, read it and let me know what you think of it. I have included a description of the story below. It may be purchased here. If you prefer, it is available through Amazon; but I will be honest and tell you it's more expensive there; and no, I don't get any more money from selling it on Amazon than at Lulu.
Ok, so that's it for me today. Thanks for your support and I hope that you enjoy my book.
