WOOHOO!

This is the coolest thing in self publishing. Print on demand and your book is now available world wide. :D

She's a big history buff and college history instructor who has a love of regional history - as if you couldn't tell by her website: http://www.redriverhistorian.com

She has sold a bunch locally but it was just put on Amazon in the past couple of days. If someone orders it from there they will print a copy and mail it out. It's an interesting system.

She still has a 3 to 4 hundred books left here at the house that she sells on her website directly or while she is doing paid speaking engagements. The Amazon stuff is different.

And, YES! She took ALL of the pictures and traveled to every place that Bonnie & Clyde have been. We even went to the Ft. Worth Stockyards and stayed in one of the hotel rooms they stayed in. She even took the picture that is on the cover.

Congratulations to you and your wife, you both must be ecstatic.  I hope it sells a billion.

thanks,

Who did she take it from?  :79- :5-
I'm sure she wasn't there with Dry Plate Camera in hand to capture the image first hand...or WAS she?  :79- :97-

Hey! We're still youngsters. :D  Not even 40 yet.

All her pics are digital. I did forget that on some of the old pics she purchased the rights to use them.
