Great idea Elisa showing your readers a glimpse into your family life. These photos and taglines make the events and details of your story more relatable. The children are adorable and looks like they have a lot of fun with their papa. Your household no doubt is brimming with activity:)
Thanks, Sue! And how right you are about the household… I intend to create an official book-related photo album sometime soon with even more pics.
I’ve pre-ordered your book,Elisa. Looking forward to hear this tale, we truly are! I keep Roseann up to date on all your adventures so we’ll both learn the story of ‘What happened to Elisa and we knew here when!’
Thank you, John. I hope you enjoy the recounting of my NYC to MN adventures! Say hi to Roseann for me.
I love the book! It was so much fun rereading every word. The kids are beyond beautiful, my friend. You make a good looking bunch. Are you planning a book tour? Perhaps a stop in Brooklyn? I’d love to get my copy signed and give you a a great big congratulatory hug on all of it! The book, the children, the music! Play on ma belle!
Thank you so much, Shelley! I will be on a Minnesota-centered book tour all summer, and I would love to schedule something in Brooklyn. Nothing is on the calendar yet, but suggestions for tour locations are welcome.
