I'm very happy to be here. This is my first publication since starting hemodialysis, so it's commemorative in a way, a sign that I can still have a full live despite kidney failure. I needed this :-)

Hey Barbara, Thanks for your interest in doing a guest post! I just put this on our Blooming Late site but wanted to email you here, too:

Thanks for the interest in doing a guest blog on women writers of the past who inspire us today. You can send your posts (200-500 words app) to me through my personal email mtb@creativetickle.com or message me privately through She Writes.  Please include a short bio, website or blog link...This is all about promoting you and your work, too!

I think it would be easier to chose 1 writer than several, but I'm open. Whenever I get your post, I'll try to turn it around within a day or two and then send you the link, so you can also post it where you'd like.

Sound good?

In gratitude,

Michele

Hi Barbara,

Congrats, I'll check you out Friday. My girl's are 13 and 15, I'll have to get them a copy for Christmas.  Lynne

I know what you mean about home!

I've been staying in a beautiful place in the middle of nowhere over the Bank Holiday, with no Internet or TV, deer and owls for company and only a couple of houses in the valley. 

But it was nice to get home. And we don't get hurricanes here. 

But enjoy the hotel while it lasts :)

Hi Barabara, 

Glad you are safe. That's the best anniversary present. 

Take care, 

Juliet 

That's encouraging, Barbara. Time to launch into the wonders of ebooks!

Juliet 

Oooh, I'd forgotten about PDFs. We're behind on ebooks here in the UK, so just catching up. 

Thanks, Barbara, and I'll PDF your book if I haven't sorted out a Kindle first. 

Just weeks away to publication, eh? I bet you can't wait.

Enjoy!

Juliet  

Yes, I love it here, too!

Love the blog, and the book. I'm going to have to get that Kindle I've promised myself this autumn if I'm a good girl!

Here's to the exciting countdown!

Juliet 

Actually I didnt leave a comment in your blog in favor of writing you in the group, sorry about that! I feel when I comment within the group about everyones blogs it gives a little more press for that person. But its a good idea you had, I wonder if once in awhile I shouldnt have some sort of contest within the group? What do you think?

Barabara, I checked your blog out and its very well put together! How exciting to have a countdown to publication! I think your cover is great and keep us informed about how things are going! Keep up the good work!

Barbara,

Thank you for accepting my She Writes connection request. I sort of winged it today too on the chat! Learned much.

Wishing you a great evening ~ Kat

Okay Barbara here are the instructions for uploading a movie to your blog. Let me know if you need more help.

Step 1: Go to the Youtube movie you want to add to your blog. Below it should be an "Embed" button. Click on it and below it should appear an Embed code. Copy it by right clicking with your mouse.

Step 2: Go to your Blogger dashboard and hit "New Post". When the Post window comes up, click on the "Edit HTML" tab at the top. Then Paste the Embed code you copied on Youtube in the post window.

After you add the movie you can type up your post. When you're all finished, hit save and publish.

Hope this helps!
