It Feels Like I've Given Birth! My Book is Finally Final

The book I've been working on since last November is finally final, at the printer, and poised for its June 1 launch date. You can see the final version of the cover at

Click the cover art and the full-sized version will open. A bit of trivia about the author photo on the back: the necklace I'm wearing is made from the tail hair of my horse, Cochise. He died in Jan. at age 31, so it's my little tribute to him. I think some of the info. on the cover is redundant, but the publisher does that part. If you scroll down and click on the pages you can read a few actual excerpts of Dr. Syndrome's Words of Wisdom.

Congratulations, Syndrome! I'll go check it out. I enjoy your blogs, by the way.
I saved some tail hair from my beautiful Suflay horse when she died - making a necklace out of it sounds like a good idea. Did you do it yourself, or did you find someone who does that sort of craft work?

Congratulations!
A friend of mine is off to study counseling as her second career this coming fall. I would love to purchase a copy for her. Will signed copies be available ?

Whazzup, I had this woman make the necklace:

She did an awesome job; she was recommended to me by another horse-owning friend. I'm going to get one made from my other horse Figment's hair too.
Delsdad, I will be signing books for people in the area (hoping to do some signings at bookstores too). If you're not around here and you get a copy, email or PM me and I'd be happy to send an autographed bookplate with a personalized note that you can stick in the front of the book. The cool thing is, readers can also ask me questions via the blog and I'm going to be posting updates to the material there.

Will you be signing copies? My mom is a certified counselor, and I think it would be a neat gift. Plus, I would love to read it myself :D:

Thanks, Syndrome. Now I have to find Suflay's tail hair, stored in a bag somewhere in the barn. Maybe I'll mix a little Gidget hair in with it - should make a colorful bracelet.
