Congratulations, Carol, that's really exciting news, for some reason I didn't seem to get the notification that you posted this in my messages. I'm really happy for you and will definitely check your book out on Amazon.

Congratulations, Carol!! I'm so proud of you! Honestly, I was sure you had published before. And now you can buy author-priced books for all your relatives for Christmas. I went to Amazon to buy your book but I could not find it. You'll have to update this post with the link to the book.

My Dearest Carol,
This is super fantastic. The publication of this book represents many hours of hard work, creative thought, hope, and prayers. It is a dream come true, and serves as an inspiration to anyone who writes, whether or not their goal is to be published.

The cover is stunning. It gives readers a visual for Eleanor, FBI Agent Garth Woodman, and Detective Matthew Donatelli.

I've read hundreds upon hundreds of novels in my lifetime, but this is the first novel where I can say, "I personally know the author." I am rejoicing with you, and feel proud and honored to know you. I'm now on my way to Amazon.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations, Carol. I only paused in reviewing this long enough to order my own copy from Amazon immediately...

So many here have been telling you how wonderful your writing is and how publishable this novel, in particular, was ~~ I am delighted you took the leap and pursued your dream!

I loved your novel here on FanStory and I'll me over the moon to hold the finished book in my hands (and btw, Amazon promises it'll be here by Sunday!)

I know Mike and your mom are smiling down at you this minute--and you are so very right~ you've created a legacy for the rest of your family while proving that believing in yourself and working hard pays off!

I'm so happy you are giddy! You deserve to be! Count me as only one of your many fans who knew, from day one, that you are a woman of special talent.

Even Eleanor must be shimmering with glee! With love and immense gratitude, I can call you my dear friend -- and PUBLISHED AUTHOR!

Karenina

Oh my gosh, Carol.this is amazing! What a perfect Christmas gift! No one deserves it more. You put your soul into your writing and it shows. I know this is just the beginning and I am so thrilled for you. Stephen King, get outta the way! Carol's coming through!

    I hoped that you would be able to see this today. I leave tomorrow for North Carolina and right now I could fly without the plane. LOL Thank you for always supporting me and encouraging my work. "Eleanor" was the best ghost to cross my path.
    Smiles and ugs, Carol

Do you know how proud of you I am? I knew you could do it, you are an amazing author, my friend and deserve every accolade you get. I hope it sells well. You have worked hard, my friend, and worked your way out of all the hurt you've siffered. Now carry on, lets get more books published. All those shorties. My friend Phyllis Stewart who was a novelist and short story author published loads. I have them all and a book of 50 short stories. She helped me a lot when I first joined Fanstory. Unfortunately she died two years ago. You'd have loved her if you didn't know her. Now, let's get that pen primed, and those fingers active and get on with the next book! Well done!! I had not the slightest doubt this would happen. Love you lots. I'm off to Amazon now to buy a book. :)) Sandra xxx

    I would never have gotten to this place without you. You are the one who encouraged me after Mike wasn't here anymore. I just didn't want to do it, but I am beyond overjoyed that I did and will forever be grateful for your encouragement. I love you with all my heart.
    Smiles and hugs, Carol

    You know you couldn't have let Mike down. I bet he's got a smile a mile wide as he looks down on you. 🥰🧡xxx

Carol,
Congratulations! What a wonderful event to wake up to!
It sounds as though your family is very supportive (some of mine are for my writing).
Your prose here gives me hope that I, too, can some day publish my work.
Fantastic news, Carol.
Blessings,
Best wishes,
Cindy

    I hope you do get to publish Cindy. I never thought I could feel this way. It's an awesome accomplishment... almost as good as falling in love. LOL Appreciate the support and encouragement.

    Thanks, Carol.... It's friends like yourself that have encouraged me to keep writing when I often wanted to give up. When I fell in love with "Eleanor" it just all seemed to fall into place. Thanks so much.
    Smiles, Carol

Congratulations on getting this book published. I am so proud of you. I knew you could do it. I'll go over to amazon and put it in my cart to purchase when I get enough so I don't have to pay shipping.

    You are awesome Barbara. If you have any tips please let me know. The publisher set the prices and everything so I don't know if that's how it works or what.
    Smiles, Carol
