    Can a previously published book make it to the bestseller lists?

    My second book "This is Your Life, Not a Dress Rehearsal," has been a bestseller in Japan but can it do the same in the US? Stay tuned to see what happens.

    Hi Jim,
    Judy suggested that I'll contact you. Do you know if Google or Amazon are hosting web sites? i read they do, but cannot find how to get the information or to apply. Could you advise me?

    What's the difference? I don't know that they do but why does it matter? You can get hosing anywhere. I'm missing something here.

    Hi Jim. Yes, I always write about warm places. Nice to visit when B.C., where I live gets damp in the winter.

    Cheers,

    Hey Jim,

    Nice hearing from you. You mean that little place on Hanover Street?

    Not sure. It's been a long time and I was out-of-it a lot in those days:-)

    Hi Jim
    Thanks for the friendship. I checked out the website you mentioned and read your stories about Ming. How touching! I am so sorry for the loss of your furry human! I know exactly what you mean - my cat Tommy is so smart and entertaining. He talks to me all day long & always has to know where I am. I can't imagine how it will feel to lose him, as he is truly a family member.
    Take care,
    Colleen

    It's been almost 10 years and we still miss him. Ming was something else. He's actually in 4 books- one of mine, one of Jack Canfields, one of Dan Poynters and one in our friend Colleen's "Crossing the Rainbow Bridge." She's an animal communicator and wrote a boko about her conversations with animals who crossed over. I think I have her story about our Ming and Pasha on the web site. She's amazing.

    Fortunately, we have 4 wonderful cats here now. Three inside we came with and one we inherited with our new house:-) and, of course a managerie of animals in the yard including, in the winter, a peacock! I have to close the garage doors to keep the deeer out:-)
