No. Would that make you an Irish Russian Canadian?

The wife and I don't plan on having kids for another 3-5 years, but I do happen to have a 9 year old niece who quite enjoys reading. Sold!

Told my girlfriend about it and she bought a copy, she teaches a grade 3/4 split. If they like it and the word spreads, I get to be an extra in the movie!

I'm putting a plug in for Mrs. Impaler's book. My kids are all grown up and there are no grand-young-uns yet, but when that happens, your sales will take off. For this plug, when the movie comes out, I want to be a gaffer. I have no idea what a gaffer does on a film set, but it sounds like a cool job.

it would be great if you hooked up with iStorytime or just made an app for it. My kid would love reading it on the Ipad.

Still not at 1,000 yet, but it looks like will have to do a second printing soon. I don't really know much about the book business, but it's made money, and I guess that's pretty rare. She is doing a school tour now, and that seems to be pretty good for sales.

I don't know much about the book business either, but I'm pretty sure that 1000 books in Canada is a best seller?

"Best Seller" status in Canada is actually 5,000 copies sold. We have one of the lowest requirements for Best Seller status.

Volga comes from old Slavic "Vlaga", which basically means, "water, moisture, humidity" etc.

You guys are bumping this late. The book is basically sold out, aside from some copies she has. She has an adult novel ready to go now - will be pitching it to publishers in a couple months.
