Exciting Amazon Reviews!!






 Dear Readers:  SO exciting to receive Amazon Reviews like these------
( B.D. Boyle)

By 
I didn't know what to expect when got this book, I purchased it on a whim without knowing what it was about. I'm glad I did, it was an enjoyable read. I didn't ever feel like the author was pushing me along or forcing the story. It flowed very naturally and more importantly, captured my imagination quickly. I don't want to give away any plot details but I was intrigued by B.D. Boyle's concept of the future and of time travel. There are lots of time travel books out there, but she's put an interesting spin on it. My favorite character is Eli, there's a mystery about who he is, where he's from and what he can really do. And I really want those answers! I didn't know that this was the first in a (to-be) series so I was caught off guard by the cliff-hanger at the end but I'm excited to see where B.D. Boyle is going to take this story in the next installment. She's definitely piqued my interest!

Look Who's Reading "Timesnatched!"

Even Baby Kate loves "Timesnatched!" We visited Nicole and her family and Baby Kate got into the book, but I doubt she'll finish it--at least not for a few years!

Okay, Kate, if you like the book, write up a really nice review on Amazon!

I Meet Jay Osmond!

I heard on the radio that the Osmond Brothers were performing at the Riverside. AND, they were doing a press conference at 2pm. An idea was born--why not go to the press conference and give a copy of "Timesnatched" to one of the Osmond Brothers?  Great idea! Now to get out of my comfort zone big time and just do it.

I was SO nervous every time I thought about this bold move. It's one of those things that if you don't do it, you will be so mad at yourself!  I knew I had to do it!  SO, I got ready to go, grabbed a book and drove myself over to the Riverside. I sat on the front row of the press conference and got there before anyone else. DUH! I forgot about the time difference between Nevada and Arizona and was an HOUR early!  Had a nice talk with an old man from Lake Havasu. Time well spent, actually.

Finally, the Osmonds came in the room--it was Merrill, Jay, and Jimmy. The interviewer was a local radio personality, Gary Sheler. Nolan knows Sheler who has interviewed him a couple of times because of the JROTC program. Gary recognized me from being at the radio station with Nolan and waved. The interview was fun to listen to but Gary never opened it up for public comment. Anyway, after an hour, it was coming to an end and I could see that they were about to leave. I felt panic and knew if I wasn't bold about this, nothing was going to happen. 

A lady rushed up to the front to get a picture with them and I knew if I didn't get right in there, they would be gone. SO, I boldly went right up to Jay and asked him if he would accept a copy of my book. He was so gracious and thanked me for it! I got a picture of him with his copy of the book and it was so exciting! I went home and posted it on Facebook. What a fun day!
