Thankfully Sandi is here to see him graduate and Scott was able to do it despite everything here.
It wouldn't have happened without the support of many who donated to our fund to keep us in place these past months. It also wouldn't have happened if the staff at Plano West hadn't worked so hard with Scott and us to make things as supportive as possible for him. With Sandi's cancer, my worsening health, the totally unnecessary lawsuit by Citibank/ Allen Adkins & Associates, and lots of other things, this past school year has been brutal. While we did the best we could, Plano West and those working with Scott were the stabilizing influence in his life.
We are very grateful to one and all for everything.

Sorry my donation came late, but this is when I get paid my royalties. Blessings, Carolyn
ReplyDeleteHuge, huge thank you, Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteA big mazel tov to Scott.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barry.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Scott! It is an accomplishment even when you do it under the best of circumstances, so it's REALLY IMPRESSIVE that you did this under suboptimal conditions.
ReplyDeleteI should be getting some money tomorrow and will donate ASAP. Still, it looks as if things might fall short. If it makes you feel any better (but it won't), my new publishing house sold fewer books this past month than they have over the past twenty-eight months, and they are exhorting authors to SELL! Even the businesses around here are struggling.
I note that a LARGE and BEAUTIFUL new WalMart Neighborhood Market has taken up residence across the street from the Awful Kroger, and I conjecture that they're really going to kick some tail. It's a gorgeous store and has everything. I am going over there for TP and paper towels and pencils in a minute, in fact!

Thank you, Shalana. I am not sure how things are going to work out. It doesn't look good at this point.
ReplyDeleteI am hearing the same deal from other authors elsewhere. I think publishing, in general, is at a major turning point right now.
I knew that new store was open but we have not been in there yet. I'm sure it will have an impact on that store. It really is too bad that some good people at Kroger 581 will have to suffer the stress of having to be deposed and testify in court and deal with the resulting local and national media coverage for the actions of the few.
