Hot off the Presses

7/13/2009

The first boxes with finished copies of VANISHED just arrived.  After 8 books, this is still an exciting moment in a writer's life.

Here I am opening the first box!

 

Almost there...

 

Here they are!

 

My hot little hands on the first finished copy of VANISHED.

 

There's always a typo...

 

Thank goodness for Photoshop, that's all I can say.

 

Uh, oh - did they print the dedication? If not, I'm screwed.

 

And so the signing begins...

Your name on these books is

Your name on these books is getting larger and larger.  Pretty soon you're going to have to write a book whose title is "Joseph Finder".  lol   Can't wait to get my copy......Nancy

ROTFL! We have more in common!

OMG, Joseph, I didn't notice the first time around, but you open boxes just like I do––one blade of the scissors. Can't find the Exacto, eh?

Thanks for making the LOL!

Your faithful reader,

Betty Dravis

JOSEPH IS A HAPPY MAN! THE BOOKS ARE HERE! YAY!

Hi, Joseph, Claire and  your wonderful crew!

Congrats on your eighth book. I share your happiness as you open those boxes. Fabulous, natural, down-to-earth photos. They humanize you for your fans. LOL... I hope you don't mind if I use one to promote VANISHED on Face Book and elsewhere. I may Twitter it, too, if I get a chance.

I have four books under my belt; I'm twice your age and never managed to get a mainstream pub. Oh, well, I know I'm good and that's what counts.

To be politically correct, I'm not supposed to sell you on my books, but I would be delighted if you would peek at my website: bettydravis.com  I lucked out when Clint Eastwood gave me a scoop when I was a starry-eyes young journalist, and now that I'm a starry-eyed, aging author, perhaps Joseph Finder might touch me with his magic. Hmmmm ...

I really appreciate your remembering me from book to book. Can't wait to get my VANISHED and write a review for Amazon, BN and other online bookstores.

You are a very gifted writer and each book just gets better and better.

Congrats, again, and keep writing original, exciting books so your fans can keep reading the best.

Respectfully and with "Momma-Bear" hugs,

Betty Dravis.

Making its appearance...Vanished!

I Just LOVE it! While your twitpics appearing one by one was suspensefully fun, seeing them all in one place is awesome. You look like a kid opening a huge new box of candy while we watch drooling from afar. At least until August 18th. CONGRATS! :) Merle
