Monday I sold the 100th copy of My Lost Summer, and I had a flash of fear that it would be the last one; my sales would stop at 100. It was an irrational fear as the book's not even in Books In Print yet or available on Amazon. Plus, not even all my friends and relatives have gotten thier copies.

Last night Borders Books in Mason called to order five. So now I'm up to 105 anyway.

Last Wednesday I gave a talk about TBI (traumatic brain injury) and the book at work. Today a fellow who was at the presentation stopped me in the hall and told me of his own TBI. Over 20 years ago he hit a tree while skiing. Anyway, in the last two years things have gotten worse for him, and he was glad to hear my story, to learn that there is hope, that over time things may get better. It just takes time.

I'm glad to have found this site to host my blog. I really didn't know how I was going to do it on my own site.
