This is me, blabbing about getting my first novel published. Please bear with me, since it's also the first video my wife and I ever recorded.

Congrats...I thought that I am watching History channel...you were great in the video...Good job ... both of you..
Thanks for sharing your words..
Please comment on my article about videos and book promotion, as there seems to be a lot of controversy about this and your video is an excellent example of how the two can compliment each other.
Blessings abound,

But during the process? Well, just don't ask my wife. Thankfully, she has an unbelievable amount of patience.
The good part is, your book comes out after Round 1 of the next First Chapters contest ends, so I'll need something to take my mind off it! Can't wait to read it!
Best of luck with the agent/Hollywood and I've heard Sulay is great to work with!
Looking forward to the book - and maybe even the movie one day...
Har har, okay, just kidding with that last part. Good practice here, working with camera and microphone -- experience that I'm sure will come in handy once the promo campaign for TWLSB goes into high gear. (And no apologies or allowances necessary, Terry and spouse...)
I was expecting the picture to be jumping all over the place quite well done my compliments to your wife. Now you are ready for your interviews on the Today Show and Oprah. We have to get you your people Manager, Make-up artist, Publicist and Security I am appliing for one of these postions we can work it out later. All jokes aside good luck and you know I hope that you sell a million copies and then you can reach back and give some of us a hand.
Make sure YOU direct them under their direction. All the talk and all the pats on the back, by them, are meaningless as far as friendship is concerned. They are not your friend they are business partners and you remember that fact. When the money stops flowing, they will be gone and you will be forgotten by them.
Just a few comments from someone who has traveled that road for ten years.

Tell your wife she did a wonderful job behind the scenes.
As you continue to go thru this process, remember "fear is like a little death" and just
remember to Breathe. Wishing you every happiness....terry
You have a natural charisma that translates beautifully in the written form. Now we are all witness to how well you articulate the spoken word too. I'm excited to read the end product. Good job and good luck with the movie negotiations!

Anyway, family came to town this weekend.....busy! But talk soon.
Excitement is building ~ just one more month !
I couldn't believe the "four hour" thing. !!!
Pls keep on keeping us updated.
Best of luck to you and if you are coming out West - please advise over Gather and I'll try my best to come and meet you in person.
I am also still a bit hyped up about the last four hours part. That's How Life Should Be!

Good luck to you. You deserve all the literary (and cinematic) success in the world!
You are a wonderful writer and this story would make an excellent movie even though I have only read the first three chapters. I am going to buy the book that is for sure.
Just an idea; maybe you could sign book plates like Beryl is doing for those that are buying the book. Just a thought.
I am really excited for you and hope that some interviews can be done here on Gather for you. Maybe they already have, I just didn't catch them.
Well my friend I think it is all down hill from here so to speak after almost being the book that wasn't. So glad you caught the dead line.
God bless you and your family.
Blessings
- shave the rest of that ugly hair off that beautiful bald head!

Best of luck on the release. Lots of people waiting to read it!

Now, I have to get back to finishing my book which may or may not ever get published, but your story gives me hope.
What a feeling that must be!
