Classes and Writing

Well I tried to log into my classes for work but it wouldn't take the information that I provided. So I will have to wait till tomorrow and I'm at work to talk to my supervisor.

Excited that a new Vicki Doudera book will be out. "Killer Listing" is out at Amazon but I would rather wait to buy it at one of our book stores in Camden.
So since it's my day off and I can't start my classes I will write. You don't have to twist my arm I just need to switch gears.

A funny thing happened when Vicki's first book came out. A family member of her's, I think a brother ordered and had shipped her first book to her mother. The only thing was...
We got this Amazon package come to our house. Saw the UPS man drop it on the porch. I went out and at the same time my son Pat came out. He says "What's that?"
I was looking at the package, perplexed that a Amazon package would be coming for me at the house... Pat says "Well open it..." he grabs it not waiting cause I will still standing there perplexed and hadn't looked at the name on the box yet... He opens it up. In there was "A House to Die for". Well that really threw me as I hadn't ordered it or even knew of the author... Then I said to Pat, "Maybe Bob ordered it for me, knowing I love mysteries..." But it was then I flipped over the box and saw the name and the address on the package... It wasn't my name BUT my address. Pat then looked at the book and saw the author's name, he said. "Doudera, Doudera." There is a girl in my class and then as he is talking I get out the laptop and do a search and find out it's the girls Mom. Pat gets on fb and chats with her and we find out the book was suppose to go to her Grandmother who lives down the street. So Pat brought the book to school the next day. Though it was hard to part with a new book...
Fast forward to around Mother's day. Vicki gave a talk at West Bay Rotary. Bob remembering the little incident knew I wanted to now read the book. She had books there for sale and to sign. By the time he got up to her she was all sold out... Then on Mother's Day we were driving by The Owl and the Turtle Bookstore and I saw a sign for her book in the window. We ran in and I found one last signed copy from her book signing a few day before...
I have since been able to talk to Vicki and share all what transpired with her first book. We got a good chuckle over it.
Well now that my fingers are limbered up I will get to work.
