First, thanks to those of you who responded to let me know you didn't get your books. Replacements will go out shortly. My apologies. Today I had three more returns with labels missing. I know now which kind of labels and envelopes to avoid using in the humidity.

Due to a number of factors, I won't be doing the events in the parks that I had mentioned I might do. However, I will be doing a fireside on Sunday, August 27 in the Rose Park North Stake. If anyone would like further information about this event, please e-mail me and I will give you the particulars. I have been assured that gate-crashers will not be turned away (although they might not let you have any refreshments.)

I would like to thank you all for your interest in my books. It would appear that because of that, Deseret Book has picked them back up, at least on their website. I won't know if they are in the stores until I get to Utah. For those of you who have read the entire series, I am in need of reviews on the Deseretbook.com website, especially for Push On and Are We There Yet? Many of you write and let me know how you have enjoyed the books, and that makes my day. If some of those comments were to make their way to the Deseret Book website, I would be very grateful. There is a place when you pull up the books that asks if you would like to post a review. For new, relatively unknown and unproven authors like myself, every little bit helps. Thank you.

I will be at LDS Booksellers Convention and here and there at Education Week. I hope to have the opportunity to meet some of you on this trip.

Susan
