That was fast!

Good afternoon friends, family, and Stories from Room 114 readers!  This weekend, Lisa and I announced that our book was ready to be purchased.  In those few days, we have completely sold out!  All of you are the absolute best.  We have ordered more books and as soon as they arrive, we will be shipping them off.  So if you are waiting for your book, thank you for your patience and your support!

It's all happening!

Amanda and I are thrilled to announce that the books have arrived!  Thank you for all of your love and support.  We are ready to take online orders.  You can order through PayPal by clicking on the link below.

JANUARY 12 UPDATE:  Books are currently SOLD OUT.  We should have more in about two weeks.  Thank you for your patience.



For those out there who would like to document their own adventures, we wanted to let you know the steps that it took to make our dreams come true.  With the help of family, we were able to organize, edit, and format our stories.  Then, after many recommendations, we headed to Elance to find our cover artist.  Our artist, Amanda, did an amazing job.  We sent her covers and sketches that we had in mind.  She offered to make three different covers, but after seeing the cover that is on the book, we couldn't imagine being happier with another.  The last step was publishing, and this was honestly the hardest part.  We decided to go the self-publishing route.  Another recommendation led us to Thomson-Shore in Dexter, Michigan.  Our independent publishing expert, Alex, was thorough and helped us get through each step of the publishing process.

It took a village to put "Stories from Room 114" in our hands, and we are beyond happy to share our stories with all of you.  Again, we thank you for all of your support, and we are excited to see where this journey takes us next.
