Although I admit I do not know a lot about how publishing works behind the scenes I'm convinced there is some interplay there.<br /><br />Out of curiosity I looked up your books on WorldCat* to see which other libraries have purchased them. There are 9 copies of Ghost Trails on there including one in the Vancouver Public Library and one in Australia! <br /><br />I'm just glad to know people are finding your books because that means they'll continue to be successful which will lead to more books for me to read!<br /><br />*If you still have your Juneau Library card barcode (It looks like you're still in the system) you can access WorldCat from the juneau.org/library website and see which libraries around the world have your books if you're curious.alligatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434832761806066033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-3717740858295781142012-06-20T21:22:58.714-06:002012-06-20T21:22:58.714-06:00Thank you, Alli.

It checks out for a maximum of 4 weeks at a time so it's been checked out more than we'd expect since it's only been here 8 months!<br /><br />Can't wait for your next book and always love the next blog post!<br /><br />-Alli in Juneaualligatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434832761806066033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-40123940466988266942012-06-20T09:02:38.703-06:002012-06-20T09:02:38.703-06:00Congrats on 1 year!Congrats on 1 year!Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-63448877459835869192012-06-20T03:19:13.856-06:002012-06-20T03:19:13.856-06:00just finished WILD and it made me long for your bo...just finished WILD and it made me long for your book (my case ebook), just started rereading parts of "BE STRONG" book. Different styles but so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

I read your book while on the trainer every morning at 5 a.m. It let me pretend I wasn't in my house before work, but outside crossing the country! Great read. I'll read any book you ever write.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-78205321271301695752012-06-17T20:12:27.094-06:002012-06-17T20:12:27.094-06:00Jill...I can't imagine how you do as much as y...Jill...I can't imagine how you do as much as you do (let-alone having time to tell US about it here!). I LOVED your book (both actually)...I pulled out Be Brave, Be Strong the other night trying to get my wife stoked about the current TD race (WHAT A RACE! MAN are they SMOKING this year! Your 09 record still stands, but Estzer is looking good to beat that (but she has LONG ways to go for sure!) <br /><br />But the pace Ollie and Craig are holding just blows my mind! I got to bed at night, they are STILL moving! Just unbelievable what the human body can do when properly motivated! I wish we had the phone in messages like the year you did...loved listening to a brief summary of your thoughts every evening. <br /><br />I don't know whether Craig and Ollie are working together, or if they are simply riding together waiting to see who cracks first...it would be great to know how they are doing! Either way, WHAT A RACE!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517087265569164625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-6959612860861676272012-06-17T12:03:09.259-06:002012-06-17T12:03:09.259-06:00Hi Jill,

I went for a 12 mile hike on Saturday morning with a group of rabid hikers, and spent the rest of the day sleeping on the sofa.<br />Let's do Demo again on strong legs, it will be even more fun!<br />JanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03059137901941493531noreply@blogger.com
