Kathy Brunner, author of Finding Your Fire, and I are a bit like Helene Hanff and Frank Doel in the book, 84, Charing Cross Road, a story I tell in BlessBack: Thank Those Who Shaped Your Life. (The movie version of this book is charming and worth your time as it features Sir Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft.) You can read about Helene and Frank by purchasing BlessBack, the book’s paperback edition here or get the e-book for Kindle readers edition FREE from Wednesday August 8 to Friday August 10 here.
Kathy and I have never met in person and I don’t know that we will. I live in Minnesota and she lives in Georgia. However, both of us are passionate about living the life you dream about living and encouraging others to do so too. Recently, Kathy asked me to guest post about how I worked to make my dream of publishing a book into a reality. Today, I tell that story on Kathy’s blog, How I Did It. I would love for you to stop by and leave a comment. If you do, you’ll be entered in a drawing for a FREE paperback version of BlessBack. The winner will be picked after the three-day promotion.
Thanks, Kathy, for the honor of being on your blog. Readers, look for my review of Finding Your Fire and a guest post by Kathy Brunner in the near future. It is a great read!
