    1. jonicaggiano says:

      Cindy, thank you. I don’t know how you ever got your book done working full time. I have been going as fast as I can and I am getting tired. I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends though. Mike is a dear friend and an amazingly talented writer, it was so kind of him to do what he did and it was a surprise. What a sweetheart he is and thank you so much for saying I deserve it, I am really grateful. Such a blessing belonging to this community. โค๏ธ

      1. You’re so very welcome, Joni! I don’t either when I look back at it. You’re almost there and you will be thrilled. Mike is a sweetheart for sure and he is a gifted writer, like you are. Break a leg.. you’ll do greatโฃ๏ธ Can’t wait to read it๐Ÿ’“

        You are so right Cindy, Mike and I are kindred spirits and you are so right about his talent. Thank you so much for your kind words Cindy as they mean so much to me. I admire you not only as a lovely poet, but being Poet of the Year for SpillWords is such an honor and I know that had to feel great. I am happy that all your very hard work paid off in the long run and through that terribly reconstruction of that beautiful house of yours. Mich sent a press release to Asia, the second that Lisa Tomey, from Prolific Pulse Press, showed the cover and Francisco’s beautiful work. She sent me a text and I was already in the news in India and the second book mentioned. I couldn’t believe how quickly her team worked. Anyway thank you for all your kindness and love over the four years, and I am asking for some grace on not being on WordPress as much as my husband and I have been through a lot. Two moves and doing all the packing ourselves, making the decision alone was a devastating effect as they took all the large growth trees and cut them down on the border of our property. This was all to build three multi-million dollar houses and in Seattle that does not get you much and the same in CA but in NC even with the price hike you wouldn’t believe the mansion you can build in NC. That was ok but they literally went to the edge of the property line to build their road and take away all the nature of our land. You have given me that Grace Cindy, which shows that you are truly a loving spirit, so thank you so much. I also want to congratulate all your wonderful credits in literally being certified in holistically treating and helping people everyday live to move more and to experience a better life journey – there is something so precious in that. Also I admire anyone that can do all that and raise very obviously a large and healthy family that come back home a lot – that really says that you did a great job – and now those beautiful grandbabies that they want so much for you to be a very big influence on. I love you and appreciate you as a person first. All your achievements in life say so much about the talented women you are. Sending kisses and hugsโค๏ธ

    How is the sales of your new book going Joni? I am hoping you are selling a ton of books! Xx

    1. jonicaggiano says:

      Hi Carol, that is really gracious of you to ask, thank you very much. We are very happy with how the book has done. We hit number 8 in the Amazon Best Seller Rankings in the first 24 hours during pre-sale of the book and then the book was pulled. In the categories once it went back on it stayed in the top five for weeks under newly released so we did not have a number one bestseller like we would have liked but we were a best selling book for three weeks. Amazon adds up to 4,000 new titles every day so we did well. Honestly my goal was for God to place the book into the hands of the people who need to know that they are not alone. There are so many people that are hurting in our world and don’t know that there are others hurting as well. You are such a warrior my friend. I am so grateful for your mother who sounds like a saint. Many blessings to you my friend and thank you again for asking, that was very thoughtful of you. Lots of love, Joni

    Youโ€™re more than welcome. Iโ€™m so happy to book it so well, thatโ€™s amazing, great news that the book did so well in the pre-sales and in the first week of sale, delighted for you. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

    1. jonicaggiano says:

      Thank you Carol anne. I hope you don’t mind me asking but I am wondering if you are able to read books that are not audible on Amazon? I am not asking so you can read my book but I don’t want people who are visually impaired not to have access to reading my book if they want to, also the book is available at other stores, just don’t want to leave an entire population out. The whole idea of the book was to hopefully help people know that they are not alone and that there is always hope to have a normal life. It sounds like you have a loving and nurturing mother who adds so much love to your life and I thank God for that dear Carol. So basically I want to know if there is no way for you to read a book without having it read to you. This would definitely make me look into what is involved in having an audiobook. Thank you my friend and have a blessed day and blessings to your mom as well.

  11. Carol anne says:

    Yes I can read a book that isnโ€™t audio, I can read it using my screen reading software on my computer on my phone. I use Kindle all the time so yes it is possible to read books that arenโ€™t audio although an audiobook would be nice if you were able to do that, I always prefer audio over the screen reading software.

    1. jonicaggiano says:

      Thank you so much for answering dear Carol Anne. I am definitely going to look into what it takes to do an audio book. We just listened to what a reader sounds like on WordPress and it is very choppy. This is not the best way to listen to poetry. By the way if you want to read the book and please don’t feel obligated as it is hard to read the first section I would love to send you a free Kindle version of the book. You would just need to send me an email I could send it too. My email is Joni.Karen.Caggiano@gmail.com. Thank you again, this is upsetting because poetry should not have to be listened to read by a robot. I am sorry. When I was much younger I would thank God everyday for my senses while I showered. I would individually thank God for each sense separately because as humans we take everything for granted so often, but I have not done that in years. Now that I know three people closely that are lacking one of the senses I am ashamed that I stopped thanking God everyday for mine. I have a cousin that became completely blind at the age of 16. Because she stayed in the same house, and shopped at the same grocery store she does really well. You would never know she was not a person with sight watching her move around. When her children were little they would leave toys on the floor so a tripping hazard was the most dangerous for her and she has a husband who really loves her. Sorry to take up so much of your time, but I am grateful to learn this information and I am going to look into this, it will be a slow process, because emotionally the book truly took an enormous toll on me. I am still recovering I think from that. Thank you and may God Bless you everyday my friend. Love you, Joni
