    Sounds like an excellent book and I think my kids would love learning about somewhere new and different.

      Hi Julie! Thanks and I hope you and your kids will enjoy meeting our characters in Spring Hope, MO

      Thanks for stopping by today. 🙂

    Cool video. It’s nice to get a look behind the scenes and I enjoyed listening to you read from the book. Good luck and great post!

    • rosieadmin

      Thanks so much, Auden. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
      We appreciate you following our writing journey.

    Tee Hee — that scene sounds very familiar. Where have I seen it before? -:D. Love hearing you read it aloud, Rosie. My fave setting from a book growing up is a toss up between Narnia and Neverland. As and adult, one place I NEVER want to visit is Westeros hahaha

    • rosieadmin

      Ha! I think we can feel this setting like no other, Cat.

      Thanks for your kind words on the reading. Oh my! If only you knew what I went through to do it. I feel like I have it down now, though. A big learning experience, but a good one. 🙂

      As you know, I’d love to visit the house and setting from the “Anne of Green Gables” book.

      I love it when authors write descriptive settings that makes us feel right there.

    Great job Rosie, I’m looking forward to reading the rest of your story. Sorry I haven’t had a chance to read it all yet. Love the way you and Cat are slowly releasing more information about the book. So excited for you.

    • rosieadmin

      Thanks so much, Sandra! 🙂

      Yes, you are a busy one getting your awesome book out there, too.

      I hope you enjoy, “Just Between Sam and Me.” We are so thrilled to be this far. We’re so glad you are enjoying our journey.

    The reading brings the story to life in a special way, Rosie. The topic is so relevant.

    All best wishes to you and Cat for the forthcoming launch. Exciting!

    • rosieadmin

      Thank you so much for stopping by with your sweet note today, Eiry.
      I never knew how hard it was going to be to read aloud a book we actually wrote. Ha! After trying to do the reading outside, I found barking dogs and airplanes decided not to cooperate with me.
      Thanks again. We are so excited to get our book in the hands of readers. 🙂

  6. James Milson

    Love watching the process unfold that you and Cat have devised. Great work and very best wishes with the upcoming launch!

    • rosieadmin

      Hi James, thank you so much. Yes, this has been a process for sure, but we are finally getting to the finish line.
      We are glad you’re enjoying watching this unfold and we thank you for following our journey. 🙂

    Thanks for sharing the reading of chapter 17! You did a great job! 🙂

    • rosieadmin

      You’re welcome, Jessica. I practiced a lot for that. Getting the lighting and sound arranged was tricky, too.
      I’m glad you enjoyed chapter 17!

  8. Julie Gorges

    SO excited your launch day is almost here. Being privileged to have a sneak peek, I highly recommended this awesome novel for tweens!

    • rosieadmin

      Thank you for all your support, Julie.
      It’s getting close. We couldn’t have done it without awesome people like you.
      We are hoping the tweens out there will enjoy it, as well. 🙂
