Yesterday I was out walking just at dawn – it was close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit at 5:30 AM. The sun wasn’t up, but the sky was getting light. I don’t like to walk earlier because I’d prefer not to encounter an animal like a coyote which abound around here. I also want to see to make sure I’m not stepping on or near a snake – so many things to watch out for. Walking any later means that the sun will make its broiling presence known, and I want to avoid that too. So there I am walking, so hot and early, no birds are out chirping. They obviously have more sense than I do. And then a rain drop hits my nose. Not water from an irrigation system, just one drop. The ground remained dry. Of course it did, more often than not, rain evaporates here before it gets anywhere near the ground. This was just an errant drop.

Several weeks ago, my book was released, but we had a problem with the eBook. As I said, it’s the little things. I really wanted it available before August genealogy conferences were underway, but there was a problem. We knew it wasn’t a content problem – it was a font problem, and we kept getting error messages. My incredible designer couldn’t find where a ttf could have possibly been embedded in the text, and yet, the error message was there. Not to worry, the hard copy (paperback) was available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and through 39,000 other distributors. I wanted an eBook though, too. I know the ease of traveling with many books electronically, and also the challenges of reading print sometimes. Finally, today, the eBook is available! Today it’s slowly rolling out in electronic form on various sites. ISBN for hard copy is 979-8990674400, eBook ISBN is 979-8990674417 – if you read it, I’d love to hear what you think!
