Really, I do. Unfortunately, the local bookstore that would carry my books makes it so hard to even get a book into their store (and is not friendly to Christian fiction). I forget exactly their requirements, but it would cost me even more money to do so from what I remember.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!

As messy as my workspace may be, as cluttered as my mind may become, my bookshelves are neatly arranged, dusted, and its treasured books ordered by size and topic. Yes ma'am; others share in our love of books and words.

It is indeed a sad time we live in. Your story brings up an empty place in our towns. Unfortunately, our children and grandchildren may never feel the comfort of holding a book in their hands, lovingly marking the book of words and images that touched their hearts or cherishing it on their book shelf.
