On Saturday, December 5, 2009 we participated at Shop Til You Drop 2009. This event was Sponsored by The Milford Middle School Enrichment Program. All I can say is WOW!
The turn-out rivaled many much larger venues and can only be called a complete success. Sal and I greatly appreciate the voluminous crowds of people who supported this event and spent time talking with us. The dozens of new readers initiated by this event was impressive.
Often the number of people at our table was so steady that it’s impossible to remember and thank everyone. My sincerest appreciation to Joan, who was my point of contact for participation at this event. My deepest thanks to Patty and Janet, Felicia (pictured below), Cheryl and Ivan (pictured below), Tammy, Kelly, Laurie, Audrey, Cheryl, Tini, Carol, Donna, Beverly, Mindy, Christine, Priscilla, Serena and the many others who purchased LaRosa Chronicles books for themselves and as gifts! You all are the reason 2009 has been our best year for sales.
Cheryl & Ivan (12/05/09) run Dove Chocolate Discoveries, In-home chocolate tasting parties. What fun! Check them out at http://www.dove-chocolate-discoveries.com/sites/cherdove
Here I am with Felicia (12/05/09) We met earlier this year in Hollis, NH and she sent books to her sister in Santa Ana, CA.
Felicia had a table selling Hoynacki Kettle Korn! Check the family business website: http://www.kettle-korn.net/ (It’s delicious!)
One more event this year, next weekend in Manchester, NH. I’ll talk about it tomorrow. What an incredible year you all have made this for LaRosa Chronicles!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Wow! It’s now less than two months that I have been Blogging daily (excluding a day here and there) and I continue to be grateful for the wonderful growth in readership. Sincere thanks to all of you for your support!!!
There are still six days remaining in November and you’ve blown away the remarkable number of “views” I received in October. November has given us three awesome events and birthday parties for four of our eight grandchildren!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I promise that all of you who email me for autographed books for holiday gifts will receive them within a week of your orders!
Yesterday I didn’t have a birthday picture of Dominic to post. Now I do! Dominic, Happy Eleventh Birthday!

In addition to the fantastic event in Stratham this past weekend we also attended three Birthday Parties. We celebrated with Christina, Sal Jr’s significant other; Christopher, Sal Jr’s oldest son (sixteen); and with Dominic, Cynthia’s youngest (his sister was on the 11/09/09 Blog with her sweet-sixteen).
Christina and Christopher are shown below in a cell phone photo. I’ll have to put Dominic on tomorrow, after Sal uploads a picture from his camera.
We have Thanksgiving weekend off, thankfully (no pun intended), after having events and birthdays for the last three weekends. Then two more weekend events before we break until after the New Year. These last two events will make eight in the last ten weeks!
I’ll talk about the next two events, in Milford, NH and Manchester, NH after Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, continue to email if you want to purchase books directly.

Yesterday, Saturday, November 21, 2009 we were signing books at the Co-operative Middle School, Stratham, NH. This was the third consecutive year for us at this venue. I don’t know how many people attended this event, but I know Sal and I spoke with over 300 people during the day; at least that’s how many bookmarks we handed out. We sold a record number of books at this event! Our thanks to Katie and all those from the Exeter Area GFWC for running this event.
There is no way I can name all who purchased books at this event, but I will post a few pictures below and mention a few names. Carol, Marny, Deb, Lucas, Carla and Cathy from Stratham; Denise, Marita, Cece and Sandra (with the incredible Scottish sweater) from Exeter, Pauline from Rochester and Cheryl and Carlene from Kensington; Sally from Manchester; Jocelyn and Patricia from Portsmouth; Sharon from Newmarket; Candace from Epping. Sincere thanks to all of you and the many more for your support.
My number one returning reader and fan of the day goes without doubt to Karl from Warwick, RI. Karl read three of my books in the last year and purchased three others at this event. Sales are important, but Karl’s words were worth more than all the sales of the day! Nothing means more than to hear from an enthusiastic reader. Karl you made my day!!! Thank you so much.

Here I am with Karl and Kim (11/21/09)
Yesterday, Saturday, November 14, 2009 we were signing books at the 27th Annual Holiday Craft Fair held at Thorntons Ferry Elementary School, Merrimack, NH. This was the first year we have participated at this holiday fund raiser for the Parents and Teachers for Thorntons Ferry. Thanks to the Parents, Teachers and Friends of the Thorntons Ferry Elementary School it will not be our last!
Our dear friend, Christi, who we originally met through our sponsoring Merrimack Youth Baseball, came to purchase another book for her lovely daughter, Meagan. Christi and Meagan we appreciate your continued support and friendship! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Dozens of new readers purchased one or more books of the LaRosa Chronicles, for themselves and as gifts! To name a few: Coleen, Eva, Naomi, Kathy (from BAE Systems), Anne, Cindy B., Cindy W., Kathie, Sue (Merrimack teacher), Lauren, Heidi, Janis, Sarah, Kathy (and son John), Linda Cotter (who had the incredible Craft table beside us-also from BAE Systems). To you all, and to all those whose names are missing, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Literally hundreds of people were introduced to the LaRosa Chronicles for the first time at this event, which is what it’s all about. Many of you are visiting my Blog and Website for the first time right now! And I am confident you will like what you find.
I look forward to our seeing many of you who are in and around New Hampshire in the next couple of events before the holidays. And I hope to hear from many others we have met from out of the local area by email. Please visit the Blog and Website often to find out the many new happenings!
Here I am with Linda Cotter, a new reader and a wonderful crafter! (11/14/09)
Remember, an autographed book, personalized to the person of your choice, is a unique and very special gift!
Thanks for all the wonderful support!
