Sally passed away, just this past year. Gosh, this makes me nostalgic and a bit sad. She was my first "real" author customer, trade-pubbed, award-nominated and all that. She was actually the person that caused Booknook.biz to exist; she called me out of the blue, asking if I could format an eBook for her (as she'd gotten the Ben Reeves books back from her trade publisher.) I was on the DorothyL mailing list with her and a few thousand other folks and I'd been posting about how it wasn't hard to make "Kindle ebooks" (back then with mobipocket creator, oy!), and she reached out to me.
Without her, I doubt I'd have ever gone commercial. Wow. Feels like so long ago and yesterday at the same time.

Wow...just checked and I bought that one in Dec 2011, the month after I got my first Kindle. And it’s still unread!
Very sorry to hear that news. Time to shift my list...
