Please keep in mind that “If” you purchase a book from me, I’ll get a bigger profit. Although, I don’t want to hinder you from making a book purchase; I placed my order and will have books in eight business days.

I talked to Travis my “Marketing Person” yesterday, he said, “Dawn, you have already made sales! This is good for just bringing out your book.”

I’ve worked hard on getting the word out – When you make a purchase “PLEASE” tell a friend or two; by word-of-mouth we can get this book into the readers hands…And I’m told that the hard work has just begun.

A Book Reading/Signing will be held throughout Makah Days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm at the Makah Museum. I’ve invited my sisters from Tacoma and the surrounding area and they said, “I’m coming!”

Thank you for making a book purchase…and I’m going to work on selling more!

I'm home!

I’m glad to be home; we went on a vacation to celebrate our 30^th wedding anniversary.

I met a very interesting person; sitting by the pool. She was a pretty lady with red hair and a natural graying patch at her forehead. Religious, knowledgeable, sincere, and very prudent is how I’m going to describe, Rose. She spoke of how the “Indigenous People” had been wrongfully treated. She was very knowledgeable of the history; that she referred to as “Indigenous People.”

I have heard a family member use these words often - (Indigenous People: belonging to a place – natural or inborn.)

I found myself in tears to know that Rose acknowledge the cruel manner that the Indians had to endure.

I’m thankful that I finished this PROOF and sent it off, TODAY. My book will remind us that we have a very strong family UNIT and we will try to carry this on, THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. DESPITE THE OBSTACLES THAT MIGHT TRY TO DESTROY OUR FAMILY TIES!

Perhaps by Mid-August, "Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit" should be completed.

People are asking my sons, "So what is this book about, the one your mom wrote?" My sons have to say, "I don't know." Sorry but only three people have read this book ... Pete, Rose, and now Monica. It's going to be a surprise for my entire family.

Something new!

Fawn loved driving home on Highway 101, her favorite piece of Heaven on Earth.

First Dennis and Fawn make a devotion unto each other at this pleasant, charming, and attractive place called, "Strawberry Rock."

Hooky-Bobbing

"It's snowing." Fawn said it like she was hypnotized by its beauty.
The family ran to the window and enjoyed it for a short moment before Grandma Hillary said, "Come back to the table. It will be there when you get done eating your supper."
Frank said, "I want to try the hooky-bobbing. I hear that it is a lot of fun! I asked Daniel after hearing some guys talking about hooky-bobbing. Daniel said, 'Hooky-Bobbing is a truck pulling a sled full of passengers.' It sounds exciting."

Here is a small fraction/portion of my book this happens the night Dennis and Fawn fall in love.

First Reading - good experience.

A good crowd turned out at Mike and Andrea Alexander’s home for the, “Green Tee Golf Fundraiser.”

My first actual book reading went well. I was a guest at this dinner and promoted three different businesses/organizations that I’m a part of; Chamber of Commerce, Big Salmon Fishing Resort, and author of, “Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit.” It was good practice for me; I did well up until it was my turn to read from my book. I’ve always had a fear of reading in front of people. But after a young man from Neah Bay gave me a pat on the back for support the words came out. But it was good to have so many people ask me when the book will be ready to purchase. I hope by the end of July or early August the book will be on the bookshelf ready to sell.

My son Michael helped me by handing out business card. This really helped because the people had been looking at him and not at me. My dad was there and that made a big difference in my courage, I wanted to make him proud. Two of my nieces brought over food and their husbands cooked fish on a stick. Melissa Peterson-Renault read from her book, she should have them both ready to sell soon as well.

ALL IN ALL -- it was good experience, I’m happy I took part.
