It has arrived!

As many of you know, I received a very exciting gift on Memorial Day as we were celebrating with my husband's family by the lake. After a loving day with some of my favorite veterans, I came home to find that my book, Dragonfly, was available to purchase on Amazon.com. I had not expected it to go live for another week, but I could not have been more pleased that they were able to make it available so quickly. With that said, I have a few things to mention about this experience.

First let me say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has purchased the book so far. I can't believe the amazing support that you have shown. I tell my "first read" girls all the time that this is a ride and today I realized that the ride is not just a few people on a road trip, but a bunch of long time as well as new friends on a roller coaster of excitement and fulfillment (my personal favorite would be Aerosmith's Rockin Roller Coaster at Disney World :) ). It is wonderful and I am not sure I can ever express my gratitude enough for the love that has been shown. I just hope that you enjoy reading the book as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Second, as these books are appearing on doorsteps and the words are drifting through your minds, I would like to ask a small favor. When you are finished, if you enjoyed the experience, please go to Amazon and/or Goodreads and write a review of the book. This helps out in so many ways. As an author, it helps others know a little about me and my writing style. As a review, it helps others decide if it is something they might be interested in reading as well. As a book, it tells others that it is worth a look. It would be greatly appreciated.

Last, and this involves seeing new faces, I would love to come visit your local bookstore, coffee shop, or festival. If you have a place you would like for me to come visit this summer, please let me know and I'll see if we can arrange a book signing in the area. Go to my website www.carriesparksmcclain.com and send me an email through the "Contact Me" section. Also, keep an eye on the "News and Events" section of my web page to see where my signing adventures lead.

Again, thank you for your love and support!!! - CSM
