  1. Paul,

    Great news! I can’t wait to read it!

    Can I order the hardback and have it sent to you for signing, then Paypal funds to you to ship it to me?

    Best,
    Dave

  2. I received my hardback in yesterday afternoon’s mail and by midnight last night, had read it cover to cover. OMG!! What a wonderful story, Paul! You are such a talented writer. The story is simply amazing–complex yet flowing, fast-paced and exciting, touching, terrifying at points, compelling, imaginative, intimate, clever, inventive, so tightly woven, with twists and turns that are thrilling to read–literally page after page after page. Your treatment of Mr. Time is so clever and simply amazing. The moral(s) of the story is/are very gently told, without being preachy or high-handed. The most astonishing part is the level of creativity and imagination that simply oozes out of every page. By the end of the book, I literally wanted to BE Donald Gardner–to share in and witness the power, magic, wonder, and transformation that takes place throughout The Powder of Life. Congratulations, Paul. There is so very much of your mom in those pages. I could literally feel her gentle spirit step out of the page and smile at me, as she always did whenever I saw her. The Powder of Life is a monumental work, a thrilling sequel to the Silver Shoes. L.F. Baum would be/will be/is, I am certain, so thrilled by the story. You are so talented. I know the book will be a huge success. I can’t wait to get my copy autographed. Many, many heartfelt congratulations! WOW!

  3. Oh, wow, Mike … I don’t even know what to say except thank you .. and that doesn’t seem nearly enough. Your opinion means a great deal to me, and I’m thrilled you liked the book this much. I guess as a writer, that’s my greatest wish above anything else—to communicate thoughts and feelings and share them in a creative way .. and if you got that out of reading this, then it’s a success already. I can’t tell you how glad I am.

    Thank you so, so much. Writing The Powder of Life was a lot of hard work, but reading this makes it all worth it.

  4. Paul I am so excited for you and after reading that part about my Aunt Joanna and Uncle Leonard, I am even more excited and a little teary eyed.
