November 2009 Newsletter

The Month in Review

The month of October certainly has been an exciting month. In late September I launched my first book, “Wise Words & Witty Expressions” and have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback I have received about the book and the level of interest so many have shown for the book. Two readers told me that they laughed and cried while reading the book. Others have told me that they can relate to the wisdom contained in the book and enjoyed reading the phrases that help provide perspective to situations and issues that everyone has found themselves faced with.

I participated in my first book signing on October 21 at the PNC Bank’s Health Fair in their Fords, NJ branch where I was warmly welcomed and answered the many questions readers had for me about the book. Readers also had the opportunity to meet my mother, Pat Gatz, who was the inspiration for most of the content contained in the book. I had a great time and want to thank once again all the staff members at the bank who provided me with this opportunity as well as their encouragement and support.

As we enter further into the fall season and prepare the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I look forward to speaking with you once again in next month’s edition of the newsletter.
