It's like I have thousands of buddies that I get to have lunch with and talk about books. What a great gig, huh??<BR/><BR/>Tracey - Thanks and hope you enjoy your visit to my little Island - we sure do have a ton of fun there!<BR/>Let me know what you think and I hope you'll come back often.

What a great site!!! I visit the authorisland site almost daily and I love all the information, contests etc! I just found out about the box of goodies so I'm really excited about that. I admire your determination in starting a website aimed at readers and growing it yourself. Thanks so much. I truly love the site. My one concern- I have the same problem as anonymous just mentioned- safari can't always open the links and stuff.Sean and Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16853142439674573421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184594.post-4514115965187588602008-09-26T08:11:00.000-07:002008-09-26T08:11:00.000-07:00Welcome!<BR/>I just tried to go to your website, and could only open the home page. After that I was told that Safari couldn't open that page. I'll try another browser, but thought you would like to know since not everybody has as many browsers as I do. I have them all, I think. My husband is a developer, so...I'm just glad he's mine.<BR/>Lynne ThomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184594.post-39255971903713530022008-09-26T07:59:00.000-07:002008-09-26T07:59:00.000-07:00Hey Saralee,<BR/><BR/>Thanks sweetie!!

It's cool because there really is something for every reader.<BR/><BR/>And I really enjoyed the contest that you helped me conduct last year--it was really neat to see email entries from all over the globe. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your success, DeNita--it's well deserved.<BR/><BR/>SaraleeSaralee Etterwww.saraleeetter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184594.post-90249391737885880052008-09-26T07:53:00.000-07:002008-09-26T07:53:00.000-07:00Hey Marcia! Missed you too - and you're right, we've bumped into each other so many times and we're both such busy bees, we never take time to sit down and visit. Soon!<BR/><BR/>I really missed the conference, I usually come home with boxes of goodies for my readers (yes, I'm the one you may have seen picking up all the goodies and promo and books left behind after everyone clears out!)<BR/><BR/>I get tears in my eyes when I think of all the $ the hotel staff tosses in the trash after a conference. <BR/><BR/>If there's anyone out there running a conference - I'd love to get your left over goodies - Authors spend way too much of their hard-earned money on it to see it go to waste. <BR/><BR/>Quick question for readers out there - what promo do you like best??? And if you've never been lucky enough to visit a conference or bookfair, you can get your promo goodies from the Island!!! It'll feel like Christmas when you get a box of goodies from me - a Reader's Dream! check out the Free Stuff page for details!<BR/><BR/>DAuthorIsland.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17151952081726758554noreply@blogger.com
