Greetings! Welcome to Part 5a in my series of blog posts counting down from rough ideas to published book. Today and tomorrow, we talk 919ers.

Andy Ross said… - Hello Christina...I am so happy that we are friends now. I read a little about what you do and I am so grateful to have you in this world. Accessing our creativity is so important for self-expression and self-discovery (I know, I'm preaching to the choir).

What a fabulous book you have written! Obviously I haven't read it all yet since you just brought it by the other day, but just by skimming it I can appreciate what you have done. Let's talk directly about you doing a reading/signing in The Storyteller's Book Store.
