Hope you win a Pulitzer or something! How does it feel to be a published author? was it worthy? Hard? called crazy many times? Like having a child? Now you are immortal, kindda.

Tiki books. Cant have enough!

All the above!

It really is just sinking in.
It was worth it because it gave renewed life and energy to some of my old timers. Getting the book into their hands and their praise has made it worth it.
It was very hard.
I had more than on person I interviewed say "No one's going to buy this book"
Like childbirth, soon after you forget all the pain that made you say "never again."
Yes, it is scary to realize my opinions are now "fact." All books are someone's opinions.

seriously....fantastic, classy job!
