Wow – I never would have believed what all is entailed in getting my book published! I have been working with Amazon since last November. No matter how many times you think you have updated the FINAL manuscript – I don’t think there ever is a final.
I’ll be the first to admit that my computer skills don’t rank in the top ten percent, but holy cow, how complicated can uploading a manuscript and photos be? Trust me – it ain’t no “piece of cake.”
Today – for the umpteenth time, I have been on my computer, communicating with Amazon, hopefully conveying my wishes, and praying that this will be the final update. One of the gals on “my team” – I’m beginning to believe that everyone has the same team, consisting of approximately 20 people – EXPLAINED to me that “…this IS an online publishing company.” Oh – well okay – what happened to the “we will be there at every turn” that was promised when they were soliciting my business?
Yes, it has been stressful day, and yes, I still have high hopes, and yes – I WILL get “Run Rabbit Run” available on Amazon in the near future.
Many thanks to my loyal supporters, my facebook friends, my family and friends, and to my dear friend – editor and indexer – Robert A. “Buffalo Bob” Smith.

Yeah Pam, it is like going to Sonic and ordering a hamburger your way. Right, hahaha. I asked for it dry so they handed me two buns. haha. Everything you say can be interpreted many different ways depending on who is listening. Looking forward to readin your book. I know it will be fantastic.

Thank you, Miss Debbie. You have been a great help to me while writing my book – not to mention all the hilarious times we have had. And I absolutely love the Book-cover you designed for me! PLUS – this blog page you set up for me – that I’m not sure just how to use yet! 🙂

Pam,
Your book is extremely interesting and totally fact-based, and it contains an absolutely incredible amount of your Grandma’s — Edna “Rabbit” Murray’s — closely held secrets — all of which, many years later, proved to be accurate.
I’m so happy that the “True Crime” author extraordinaire, William J. “Bill” Helmer, introduced you to me.
You and I have had a lot of fun on your journey, and I also know that your Mom and Dad, Naomi and Preston, are in Heaven and encouraging you on.
Your friend,
Robert A. “Buffalo Bob” Smith

Mr. “Buffalo Bob” Smith,
What a nice comment. I value your opinion so much, and have such a great respect for you that this really means a lot to me. I too am very grateful to author William J. “Bill” Helmer for introducing us.
I was in somewhat of a slump and in dire need of a good editor and indexer when you came to my rescue. And yes we have had a lot of fun – a time I will always remember and be thankful for. I am sure that you are right about how my Mama and Daddy are feeling about this venture of mine because you, of all people, know my life history as well as my family history. I will never be able to thank you enough for your help and support.
Your friend forever,
Pam Paden Tippet
