Where's the Silver Lining?

Sneers to be erased, more silver lining

Where to start? I'm still tingling from excitment. I was sitting at the computer, making a last check of my emails before posting my goodnight robot game on the scroll (it never did get posted), when I opened an email from a very special person. Holly and I put together a book of our short stories, but I was relying on her expertise to format it. She had finished it.

Needless to say, I didn't go to bed. With Holly on Yahoo IM promoting and encouraging me, I uploaded the book on Lulu. I AM PUBLISHED! The book is Hidden Lies and Other Stories by Vivian Gilbert Zabel and Holly Jahangiri. We have a total of twenty short stories, I believe. Can't wait to hold one of the books in my hands. Hurry, Lulu and FedEx!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Holly. You gave me a wonderful mother's day gift. Heheheheh, I get to swipe off some sneers. I know how hard taking on a project and finishing it can be when as busy as you. Yet, you cared enough to do it.

And I owe a big thanks to Becky for her support. When people believe in one, much can be done.

Holly and I were up until the wee hours, ordered the first copies, and then I sent her to bed. I visited with Becky until about 2:30 before saying goodnight. Then I lay in bed day-dreaming (who could sleep?) when Robert woke. I told him he needed to get under the oxygen (which he did) and then told him about the book. He may not have been quite as excited as I was, but close.

Today may be cloudy, but it is a beautiful day.

Oh, the following URL should lead to the place to order the book, note I said should:
