"Great ideas here! I'm only 29 days away from the official publication date now. One thing I wondered about is having a few quotes from the book and maybe a photo or two standing up on the signing table. Something that people can peek a read at…"

"Only 29 days 'til Breaking the Code is released. Wow! Suddenly things are happening way too fast!"

Hello Karen!
Thank You so much for joining my group Blooming Late!
CONGRATULATIONS on a book coming out! Especially this book! Looking over your profile I see what it is about and I saw all about your book and all i can say is people do not understand that we come from a war torn country too-except our wounds are from the inside of our returned soldiers.
Your new website is a wonderful idea and a necessary evil because even though this country DID learn from VietNam, we still have this idea that the people we send in are the people we get back and they have no where to be the person they are now, many blessings for your sites success at getting the word out to our vets.
ALso, love your blog, I came across it actually a while back and its message is so really true and I saw it at a time I needed to read something like that. Im so glad you found your way not to my group!
Please introduce yourself to everyone in the Kicking It Off discussion as well as list your blogs inOUR GROUPS BLOG and your book in OUR GROUPS BOOKS pages to the left of the main page under the members pictures.
You willl soon see we have a wonderful unique dynamic group of women here that are a real source of support, encouragement and inspiration for writing.
I am so glad you are here and WELCOME to my group!
