I just wanted to let you know I finished an "uncorrected proof" copy of "UP" that I received from the Amazon Vine program.
I. LOVED. YOUR. BOOK!
It made me laugh, it made me tear up a little (at your husband's story and the end) and it showed me the kind of mother I hope to one day be.
I'm posting my review on Amazon and Goodreads.com as well. I will also be telling everyone I know about your beautiful book. My only regret is that since I received the "uncorrected proof" it does not have the beautiful cover art that the real copy has. :) Wonderful story and adventure and I look forward to following your blog from now on.
Dee,
Thank you so much -- I'm very glad you liked the book!
I appreciate your willingness to write a review on Amazon and Goodreads -- those reviews are so important! Thanks also for spreading the word to your friends. I am much obliged!
If you're on Facebook, please consider "liking" http://www.facebook.com/PatriciaEllisHerr. It's a very active account and I enjoy the back-and-forth that often occurs there.
Thanks again for your kind compliments,
Trish
