Jonathan's Story: out now
His unique and unbelievable story ...31 total reviews
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Congratulations! How exciting for you. I really enjoyed Jonathan's story on your postings and I'm sure your book will do well. You should never feel bad about marketing for yourself. Unless someone is unrelenting and annoying with their marketing attempts, I never have a problem with them because sometimes it's just something we have to do as writers. Very good luck.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and congratulations. (As you see, I am not very good at marketing, and I wish I had a more outgoing personality to be a bit more proactive. Have you decided yet about your future marketing strategies?)

I'm leaning towards the shorts, but nothing final, yet.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I just looked on Amazon and it didn't come up; I'll wait a few days and try to find it again. I've read every chapter here, but certainly want to support your publishing effort. This is a big deal!
Don't feel like you're marketing; you are simply sharing these achievement with your friends here at FS. I hope you have much success with it; I will write a review once I've purchased it.
Good luck, and thank you for sharing your news.

Thank you very much, Pam. A few people have said they have found it and are buying it, but maybe if you try amazon.com.au it will come up. (However the price will then be in Australian dollars, not US, which will be fewer dollars.) If you can't see it within a few days let me know.
Thank you very much for your amazing review, and for your ongoing support, also for the congratulations and good wishes. I appreciate both more than you know.

Comment from Brenda Strauser
Hi, I am going to look at this book. I have a son with a learning disability. He isn't as severe as your son. We had many challenges with him and his school. There were many struggles for my son. I am looking forward to reading your book. Congratulations.

Congratulations on your book, and more importantly in bringing attention to a system that basically does not care for anyone that doesn't fit into society in a conventional way.

Thank you very much, Joann. Yes, you are so right; no one caters for or cares about those who don't fit the norms. Many thanks for the six stars - I feel affirmed and honoured.

Comment from patcelaw
This is beautifully written, and I enjoyed very much listening to it. I followed the story of Jonathan all the way through as you posted it on fan story and it was a compelling and wonderful story of a life that meant something to someone and you were that someone in it in his life. I enjoy all of the work that you do but I especially enjoyed this particular book. May you have a blessed day and may your book do well. Patricia.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Wendy, I would like to congratulate you on your new book. It sounds like a wonderful one and I am looking forward to reading it. At the moment I am blind in one eye and seeing specialist every day, even during this holiday weekend he is opening the clinic for me. Complications from covid eye and I won't go into detail but only mentioning in case I can't read it for a while and give it a review
. So just know I will be ordering your book maybe today and as soon as my vision has improved I will be reading it. ''Right now I can only read what I can expand with my fingers on my iPad.
I wish you the best with this and I thank you for marketing it or I wouldn't have known. So some is really necessary. I am so very happy for you and can't wait to get a copy. Great job on this post telling us about it. Love, Debi
PS, I just went to Amazon and will have a copy of this by Tues. I am so excited to get it and happy for you. My best wishes.

Thank you so much for this very positive review, Debi! I am so pleased that you will try to get it. The kindle version may be easier for you, so you can expand it. I am very happy to know you 'll have a copy by Tuesday! That's amazing! I hope that you will enjoy and be moved by his story when you are able to read it.
Thank you again for your interest!

Good luck with your venture. I would think having a successful release today with millions being in competition with so few readers buying paper
ow any publication could be successful.

Yes, there is a lot of competition, and this story is a hard and emotional read. I will be happy with a few sales, and there are still a few of us who love to hold a REAL book in our hands, and one which is not about murder, crimes etc. So even just a few sales will be enough to make me happy.

Comment from GWHARGIS
I'm so happy you published this. Jonathan's Story was a riveting read. I have an Amazon Wish list and I am adding this to it. I did enjoy reading it. It showed both the good and the weaknesses in the organizations we entrust the vulnerable to. You were a wonderful advocate for him and I'm sure that will continue. But aside from that, you opened this reader's eyes to the reality of of this responsibility. Congratulations. Gretchen

Thank you so much for the affirmation, and also the congratulations and good wishes. I am honoured that it will be on your wish list! If you can't find it on amazon, go to amazon.com.au. (The price there will be in Australian dollars, but it will be fewer US dollars.) A lovely review, thank you.
