I got a note from a friend last night. She'd gotten her copy of Bull Rider from Amazon - although the official release date is tomorrow - and she wrote to say "Your book is fabulous and I couldn't put it down." Well THANK YOU for telling me. It makes my day. She also said she bought a copy for a friend who works at the VA hospital in Palo Alto - a friend who said that few people knew about the cost of the Iraq War in terms of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America says that 100,000 military personnel are returning home with some form of TBI. It's time to talk about it and to think about the needs these veterans and their families have. More later.

Just want you to know I'm reading Bull Rider out loud to my class - so far they've set the record at school for book purchases! They are loving the book! They think I'm pretty important to know you!

Wow, Troy, I didn't know there was a record for book purchases. THANKS for sharing Bull Rider and I'm glad they are enjoying it. I'm really looking forward to being at your school.

JKB - yes it is exciting! I hope you get a chance to read it. Are you a writer?

I am, we're currently out on submission as well...MG too...I've ordered my copy of BR, and am waiting rather impatiently!

(I live in Germany, so my release dates are skewed over here.)
