Verbs Down Under!

August 30, 2008 in Life is a Verb

Verbs have hit Australia! From Karynne, in New South Wales, this note:

Yesterday, four copies of your eagerly awaited masterpiece arrived … lovingly delivered by a young Australia Post delivery man who spent ten minutes patting my dogs, and talking about his passion for life, his family and his own dogs. Not a typical courier delivery for sure!!

I have attached a photo of your book in an Aussie native melaleuca … who’d ‘a thought!

With love and gratitude for the gift of your words, which touch my life daily,

-Karynne

Closer to home, my dear friend Catherine stopped by with a copy of her beautiful, amazing new book for me, and I gave her the copy of Life is a Verb I had signed for her and Big John. Evidently Mr Brilliant caught us in the very instant we saw a sign from above that Billy Collins also has a new book out and would no doubt be joining us on the front steps of my house very, very soon with an inscribed love note on the title page.

Fabulous Sally from New Jersey snuck a cell phone picture of herself with Life is a Verb at work! And in Brea, California, Borders finally has copies, according to Christiane!

My thanks to everyone for sending these fantastic photos! Each of you will receive a special gift designed and made just for Life is a Verb by Dippylulu!

If you have a Verb sighting, send a picture! The first 37 sent will receive that special, handmade gift!

We were told that we could not take pictures in the Borders store in Canton Ohio! When
we explained that the author wanted people
to send photo’s, the clerk offered to “walk away”, but warned us not to get any other
books in the picture because of “copyright
laws” Who knew? Patti you,rebel! Janey
