Hi Terry, I'm waiting for it to load. Back in a minute after I watch it.
that was the best "areyoudoneYET?!?!?" look I ever saw!

nice effort.
Judi F. Sep 23, 2007, 12:09pm EDT
Terry,

You know I'm rooting for you! Congratulations! And you look so comfortable behind the podium. Don't forget to alert the Alumni Magazine about the book!

Go Lions!
Kathryn E. Sep 23, 2007, 12:11pm EDT
Well, I enjoyed this very much, Terry, having vacationed in Maine - both or all of them, quite a bit. From the Beans of Egypt, Maine to Camden, Oguinquit, Old Orchard, Bah Hahbah, Acadia, I really reverberated with all of that, reading your book.

See you soon.
Layla Morgan Wilde Sep 23, 2007, 12:21pm EDT
Terry, damn the video isn't working. You look good from what I can see. Enjoy!
Pat S. Sep 23, 2007, 12:22pm EDT
Looks like you're having fun Terry! Good luck with the tour!
Nyota *Star* Sep 23, 2007, 12:55pm EDT
nice
wiaka's just ... curious Sep 23, 2007, 1:05pm EDT
Wished I could have seen more. Were you nervous? *grinning*

Thank you Terry for sharing your talents with us. Looking forward to when I receive my edition.

Blessings

Oh, so that's how it started?! :) Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing you, Thursday at Borders. Hopefully, I'll be back in enough time. If not, I'm wishing you well, in advance and continued success.
Great introduction, Terry. I'm sure that answered a few questions without them being asked. The title is quite appropriate!
Tracey W. Sep 23, 2007, 1:46pm EDT
Wonderful! Wonderful, more. I want the rest. You are a very engaging speaker as well as an award winning author.
Janet H. Sep 23, 2007, 1:56pm EDT
I enjoyed the video but it ended much too soon!
Donna B. Sep 23, 2007, 2:16pm EDT
Looking good, Terry! 'Overnight' success couldn't happen to a nicer guy! Keep the stories coming.
Jim L. Sep 23, 2007, 2:27pm EDT
Nice video, Terry; I can see you're at ease in front of a crowd -- however many may be related to you (not that many, I'll bet). Got my copy of TWLSB from Amazon on Thursday; did you say something about autographing bookplates for us? If so, e-mail me for my address. Meanwhile, happy touring and happier sales!
t b. Sep 23, 2007, 2:46pm EDT
I am enjoying these little looks at your book tour. Thank you for the heads-up.
Lorri Goddard-Clark Sep 23, 2007, 2:58pm EDT
my sound refuses to work. but you look authoritive and interactive with the audience. even in silence. cogratulations on the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ELLEN B. Sep 23, 2007, 3:19pm EDT
What a great job! You appear relaxed, and honestly enjoying the crowd,(so they can't all be relatives,HA! HA! Keep it up Terry, you are just a great guy, and behind every great guy is a great woman, so I am happy for both of you, and you do have a great voice for speaking. Keep us all posted. Ellen B-How did the dogs like their vacation?
Bonnie L. Sep 23, 2007, 3:19pm EDT
Terry! As a journalist, I too hear in sound bites....when I hear a phrase that just begs to be used at some point, my brain files it away--just like yours did when the woman said when she moved to Maine, she expected it to be "The Way Life Should Be"!

I always think the stories behind the titles...are SO interesting! Yours is no exception. I'm glad they let you keep your original title!

Nana Gill Sep 23, 2007, 3:27pm EDT
Terry, Enjoyed your video very much. Wanted to see and hear more, but, guess I'll have to get more by reading your book. I look forward to that opportunity. You looked right at home. Wish you the best.
Kathy F. Sep 23, 2007, 3:38pm EDT
Congrats Terry! Great video, you need to learn how to take the praise a little better.... YOU DESERVE IT! God Bless.
JoAnne D. Sep 23, 2007, 3:47pm EDT
That was an enjoyable video, I'm so glad that you had such a warm welcome.
Tina Coruth Sep 23, 2007, 3:48pm EDT
I enjoyed the video! You are a very good speaker. I can't wait to start reading your book, which will be soon! Congratulations.
Cynthia L. Sep 23, 2007, 5:11pm EDT
Congrats can't wait to buy it. and Good luck with everything.
Terry Shaw Sep 23, 2007, 5:16pm EDT
Thanks, everyone! Beth and I hope to post more videos soon, along with articles and photos. She's been doing most of the work and I've just been along for the ride, though she's going to make me do some driving at our next stop. We just crossed into Massachusettes and will be in Maine this evening.

Jim, anyone who wants a signed book plate just has to email me their address. Thanks so much for your interest.
Brandea M. Sep 23, 2007, 6:04pm EDT
Great Video, Terry!! Looks like you had a great time.
Esther F. Sep 23, 2007, 6:27pm EDT
That's a great video! I still have to read the book, of course, but now I understand the title.
Patry Francis Sep 23, 2007, 6:33pm EDT
That gives me a completely different perspective on your title. Terrific video, Terry.
Rebecca Goings Sep 23, 2007, 7:18pm EDT
Terry, you look so at ease up in front of those people! Were any of them from Gather? Let me know if you swing by Portland, OR, I'd love to go say howdy. :) It really is odd the respect you get being an "author", isn't it? It's like I'm no longer just Terry Shaw. I'm Terry Shaw, The Author! lol What? People are EXCITED I'm here? When did that happen?! Surreal to say the least.

Enjoy it. We're all so proud of you! :D

Marcia D. Sep 24, 2007, 9:30am EDT
Good work Terry Shaw. Now, while you have the attention of your publisher and a very appreciative readership, you could present a few ideas for your next book. The Best To You.

Thanks for sending the link, Terry. I'm sure it must be thrilling to go on a book tour. It's also fun to see how authors come up with the ideas for their books. Best of luck with the tour.

Kristin
Geeta M. Sep 24, 2007, 12:37pm EDT
Terry! You're so comfortable in front of an audience (I'm assuming some weren't family members :-))! The video got cut off abruptly so I'm assuming your next email deals with that. Good luck! I'm rooting for ya.
Anthony Samuel P. Sep 24, 2007, 1:07pm EDT
Hi Terry,
Very nice job. You are a natural born speaker. Good stage presence.

Check out author Joe Konrath's fantastic article on how to survive a book signing at http://www.bksp.org/secondarypages/articles/authors/JAKonrath2.htm

Make sure you read his other two articles on the same site - equally good.

Lots of luck with your book sales.
Dave S. Sep 24, 2007, 1:37pm EDT
Cool, Terry! You're living the dream now!!!!
P.W. Dowdy Sep 24, 2007, 2:48pm EDT
Magnificent beginning, Terry. Let your faith kick in now and prepare for a smooth middle and a big, big, successful finish.

Blessings to you, Terry Shaw.

Thank you for taking us along with you on your tour. We are all so very proud of you.
Karyn K. Sep 24, 2007, 8:08pm EDT
From what everyone else says, it sounds like a great video.
Since I still have dial up, I am unable to view it.
Some day I will move on up to high speed.
Sheila Deeth Sep 24, 2007, 8:50pm EDT
You do a really great job of introducing your topic at the start of your talk. Wish I could be there. And by the way, I have now spent my gift card, bought and read the book, and loved it. Congratulations! And have a really great tour!
Gigi K. Sep 24, 2007, 10:32pm EDT
Hi Terry, Great job on the video! You look relaxed and comfortable behind the podium and I was interested to see how your title got its start. Continued success on the tour! Thanks too for the bookplate - my book looks great and I finished it during a marathon reading session because I was so caught up in the story and Quinn most of all. Had a very hard time just reading because life got in my way! But finished in a little over a day! Very happy for you!
Sophiya S. Sep 25, 2007, 12:03pm EDT
