Local newspaper posted a follow-up article. I understand the cowboys received numerous letters, but no serious relationships resulted. But when I read about the billboard, I just knew there was a book in it. I guess the fact SABRINA SAYS sold to three different publishers means the true-life billboard made a good story.Ramonahttp://www.ramonabutler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523632923445205575.post-85750686692728195032012-03-30T22:50:30.612-07:002012-03-30T22:50:30.612-07:00Thanks, Lynda -- I count on you for smiles, my fri...Thanks, Lynda -- I count on you for smiles, my friend.Ramonahttp://www.ramonabutler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523632923445205575.post-28409438740442429082012-03-30T22:48:21.186-07:002012-03-30T22:48:21.186-07:00Thanks, Ellen.

I'm doing it now with the first one I ever wrote, and it has been a time consuming, painful experience. I'm 75,000 words into the rewrite. Can't stop now! Best of luck with Sabrina Says. What a terrific opening!Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692098634695675967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523632923445205575.post-68943510541989329702012-03-30T19:00:10.356-07:002012-03-30T19:00:10.356-07:00Great post, Ramona!
