Congratulations, Carol. I only paused in reviewing this long enough to order my own copy from Amazon immediately...
So many here have been telling you how wonderful your writing is and how publishable this novel, in particular, was ~~ I am delighted you took the leap and pursued your dream!
I loved your novel here on FanStory and I'll me over the moon to hold the finished book in my hands (and btw, Amazon promises it'll be here by Sunday!)
I know Mike and your mom are smiling down at you this minute--and you are so very right~ you've created a legacy for the rest of your family while proving that believing in yourself and working hard pays off!
I'm so happy you are giddy! You deserve to be! Count me as only one of your many fans who knew, from day one, that you are a woman of special talent.
Even Eleanor must be shimmering with glee! With love and immense gratitude, I can call you my dear friend -- and PUBLISHED AUTHOR!

I hoped that you would be able to see this today. I leave tomorrow for North Carolina and right now I could fly without the plane. LOL Thank you for always supporting me and encouraging my work. "Eleanor" was the best ghost to cross my path.
Smiles and ugs, Carol
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Do you know how proud of you I am? I knew you could do it, you are an amazing author, my friend and deserve every accolade you get. I hope it sells well. You have worked hard, my friend, and worked your way out of all the hurt you've siffered. Now carry on, lets get more books published. All those shorties. My friend Phyllis Stewart who was a novelist and short story author published loads. I have them all and a book of 50 short stories. She helped me a lot when I first joined Fanstory. Unfortunately she died two years ago. You'd have loved her if you didn't know her. Now, let's get that pen primed, and those fingers active and get on with the next book! Well done!! I had not the slightest doubt this would happen. Love you lots. I'm off to Amazon now to buy a book. :)) Sandra xxx

I would never have gotten to this place without you. You are the one who encouraged me after Mike wasn't here anymore. I just didn't want to do it, but I am beyond overjoyed that I did and will forever be grateful for your encouragement. I love you with all my heart.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

You know you couldn't have let Mike down. I bet he's got a smile a mile wide as he looks down on you. 🥰🧡xxx

I sure hope so!

Carol,
Congratulations! What a wonderful event to wake up to!
It sounds as though your family is very supportive (some of mine are for my writing).
Your prose here gives me hope that I, too, can some day publish my work.
Fantastic news, Carol.
Blessings,
Best wishes,
Cindy

Thanks, Carol.... It's friends like yourself that have encouraged me to keep writing when I often wanted to give up. When I fell in love with "Eleanor" it just all seemed to fall into place. Thanks so much.
Smiles, Carol

You are awesome Barbara. If you have any tips please let me know. The publisher set the prices and everything so I don't know if that's how it works or what.
Smiles, Carol

I just bought it and am looking forward to reading it. I will give you an awesome review. Would you autograph it for me?

Of course I would... I should have bought it, signed it and then sent it to you. I bought the it the minute they posted even though I could have had an author's copy...I wanted the first one sold. LOL

Well, hopefully I'm the second one who bought it. I will buy your next book Miracles too
Can you send me your address via email? caheiskary21@gmail.com

Comment from Nicki.B
Oh my goodness! This is absolutely amazing, massive congratulations to you on this fantastic achievement. Do not apologise for being giddy, I would say if you could you would shout it from the root tops or run down the middle of the street screaming it if you dared and its no wonder you feel that way, rightly so. I'm very happy for you. Good luck with it.
Best Wishes
Nicki
