Just wanted to share a photo that author, Jan Coates emailed me earlier today. I blogged about her book launch here, back in September.
Jacob’s in Southern Sudan for the independence vote taking place this week, and according to Jan, he’s been busy promoting the book, too. For those who don’t know, Jacob’s story provided the inspiration for her book, A Hare In The Elephant’s Trunk.
Whether you’re a writer, a reader, or neither, you’ve got to admit that getting a photo like this would be oh so sweet! This is one of those moments every author comes to savour. Yay Jan!

/ January 10, 2011Nice is right! Reminds me, my GF was in the hospital and while there her cousin called to wish her a speedy recovery. Her cousin is Neil Young. She said it so matter-of-factly that I almost fell out of my chair. Yes, you’d be right if you guessed what I said next. “And you forgot to mention who your cousin is because…!”

/ January 10, 2011Having Neil Young for a cousin sure seems like something worth mentioning to me.How about your friend getting of photo of Neil holding YOUR book? Make your own sweet author moment!!

/ January 10, 2011This is *almost* as good as Bitter, Sweet being in a movie.

/ January 10, 2011That photo will be a scrapbooked keeper for sure! I saw Clooney in the southern Sudan being interviewed on the TV news yesterday. As Writerwoman61 says, yummy indeed.

/ January 10, 2011I saw that last evening, Carol, and I smiled as I thought of Jan’s photo.
So, two yummies it is!

/ January 11, 2011That is so great! I also saw Jacob in the paper the other day talking about what’s going on in Sudan at the moment.

/ January 13, 2011Okay – You’ve had George posted here for a few days – so let’s get a new post goin’. I ain’t makin’ comments about George Clooney. (I almost made a trip to Canada this week, but changed my mind & sent someone else – after I saw how cold it is up there.) I’m going home this weekend (YAY!)- hoping Bitter,Sweet is waiting at the Post Office for me. I’ll let you know. Anxious to read it.
Laura Best
/ January 13, 2011Gee Dave, So I guess you don’t find George Clooney yummy!!
We just got dumped on with a LOT of snow yesterday and through the night. Seriously, a lot of our days have been relatively mild. No cold snaps yet. Gotta be tough, Dave.
