It was 30 years ago that we were in China, making a 14 day tour of six cities as part of our 30 day Asia tour that included four countries. It was a wild ride. Were we young and foolish or young and bold?

A few days ago I make a post to my Facebook timeline, then shared it with my children, to let them know of the anniversary. I included a link to Operation Lotus Sunday. A friend who read it posted to say it was a good read. Then another friend posted and asked which of my books I recommended for her to start with.

Now that’s a hard decision. How does one choose from among their “children”? I told her OLS would probably be best, but included in that post some thoughts about my other books and why they might or might not be for her. Two FB friends then posted. One, a friend from high school and college, recommended OLS to her. Another, one of Lynda’s cousins, did the same things. Or at least she said she and her daughter read it and “really enjoyed it.”

That’s where the on-line conversation ended, on Sept 18. Then on Sept 19 my Amazon reports showed I’d sold one e-book copy of OLS. Was it the friend who enquired? Could be, or it might be someone else who saw that thread. Or it could be totally unrelated to that thread. However it happened, I’m thankful for the sale.

All of which shows I’m still at the point in my writing career where books are selling one at a time, and (most likely) as a result of personal contacts I make. I wish it were otherwise, but that’s how it is.

Stay tuned.
