Congratulations. What an achievement. You must be really pleased that it’s all coming together just as you expected it would.
Happy Holidays!
If we buy,do we get an autographed copy? LOL

Congratulations! Your book is quite an accomplishment, and I wish you great success.
Will the book be available as an e-book? I’m eager to read it, but I have a hard time reading print and prefer to read electronically so I can adjust the font to a readable size.

Congratulations to you!
You must be so proud! I wish you all the best.

Ain’t Fairusee, I love it…
Steppin’ Out of the Darkness reminds me of a black version of the book called The Dream Giver that my minister mentor gave to me.
I pray it’s even more succesful, Solomon.
So how do we buy it? Do you take PayPal?
Thanks much and bless you and KWiz and your daughter so much.
Amen and amen,
Paula

Hi Paula,
We read The Dream Giver a couple of years ago. A good read. And while I’m biased, I do know that Steppin’ Out Of The Darkness is so much more! And really, it’s “color-less.”
PayPal will be the preferred method of payment; of course, you’ll be able to use your credit card.
Thank you for the well wishes and blessings!!!

Manchild,
I’ve been thinking of you these past few weeks and have finally made it to your site. It’s been a while. First, congrats on your book release. Second, I’m going to buy a book when I’m done writing this comment. Third, would you like to be interviewed on our Author Blasts Podcast show at Authors On The Net? It’s a free interview and you get a copy of the MP3 file to use however you wish. Let me know.
