Thank you for the compliments everyone but especially yours, updog. It's really great to get them. CreateSpace was super quick and the books are on their way to me, so my cousins should receive their copies by Christmas. I'll be leaving New Hampshire mid-December to spend the holidays in South Carolina, away from my computer. I don't know how to add Facebook to my new phone, so I won't know my cousins' reactions until January 6th after I go home, but I've already been told that they are looking forward to getting their books. (I can't use my daughter's computer. It's a Mac and I've only ever used Windows.)
During the break, I'll be learning about the life of termites. They figure in my next story. (On Mars, of course).

Read samples of my Martian series (by Dorothy Piper) and two romances (by Joni Havel) on Smashwords.
Hard copies of all are on Amazon.
