I am a teacher, now doing part-time subbing, but need to get a full time job with benefits. I would love to do just writing and book talks in schools, libraries, but that seems like a dream.

Hi Tracy,
I've not had success getting my book published and am now considering Halo Publishing, a self publishing place. Have you had any experience with them or have you heard any feedback? I'd be interested to know before I take the plunge.
Cheers,
Stacia

Hi, Tracy,
This comment is to ask if you'll be at the CHA event in Anaheim later this month. Probably not, I know, but it's so close to LA and book people will be there. I'LL even be there, and I'm from the wilds of Dakotaland!

Hi Tracy,
I've left messages about my new book to some of the booksellers on this site in case they could be interested in it. Unfortunately, I haven't got any reply. Have I done anything wrong? Marcia.
