Christmas Update
I certainly appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement. There is one thing that everyone could do and that is to phone (or e-mail) a library to ask for the book . They should just need the ISBN number (ISBN 978-0-919825-59-8) . Some of them have a request form in their website.
I will have a short book out soon that you can share with the family about Julia and Colin and miracles in a children’s hospital. I’m also working on a second novel to further Colin & Julia’s work to change the world for good. Merry Christmas.
Food for Thought
Don’t wait for extraordinary circumstance to do good; try to use ordinary situations.

On the Radio
It was very exciting to listen to Helen Roos discussing Ordinary Woman, Extraordinary Circumstances on the radio show, A Luta Continua this morning. The book has always been vital and alive for me, but listening to others discuss it really lifts that feeling to another level. Helen is featured in the forthcoming audio book of Ordinary Woman, Extraordinary Circumstances, due to be released in 2009.
My thanks to Helen and to the folks at A Luta Continua for a job well done.
