Dang it Ricky, you made me cry!

Oh WOW Ricky, Tears are streaming down my face! What a moving story. You are so very talented. I was mesmerized from the start and never wanted the story to end. Thanks, my friend. Oh, by the way, I talk to all my plants, even tho they don't talk back. I think communication and touch is felt by them. Go Ernie!!!

Me too! That is, I talk to my plants too! They answer by growing or dying! (G) How sweet! It kept me on the edge of my seat! You are very gifted!
Okay, now I want to get my book from you! You never brought them out at your swap, Ricky. And I AM flying on a plan in a couple of weeks! I hope you bring a few in case anyone else is interested in getting one also.

Ricky has a book??? Do Tell!! I want one, autographed of course what's the $$

Okay, I've a few copies in the box. I'll bring what I have and be more than happy to sign them. For anyone not coming to the swap tomorrow, please visit my website for a link to iUniverse.com where you can obtain a copy.

My second book will be out in another week and I'll have copies to bring to Veronika's in September.

I loved the story. Thanks.

Great Story, Ricky.

I talk to my plants all the time. I yell if I think they should act better(flower) and cry if I've over looked them some how. My dog goes crazy barking and running all around the yard trying to find out who I am talking to. Ralph says I'm a loose cannon! :o)

Ricky,
Save a couple of those books for the October swap in Orlando. I'm hoping all you Southies carpool up for that one!

Glad you all enjoyed the preview. I've submitted the piece to a magazine, so I have to take it off the web for now. Thanks for the nice comments!

I couldn't get the link to work.

Wouldn't work for me, either.

Guys - I took it down as it's been submitted to a magazine in the hope of publication. Sorry.

Ricky, please let us know, when you can, what publication will print it. I want to be sure to get a copy of that mag issue. Good luck my talented friend!!
