"Wow! This sounds like a great idea."

This week we wrap up the Celery Tree Big Blog Tour. Today, the tour heads to Ann Best's blog.


"My first memoir, In the Mirror, was published four days after my 71st birthday (May 2011). I'm a living testimony that it's never too late to publish a book."

Ann's book, In the Mirror: A Memoir of Shattered Secrets, has numerous rave reviews and is currently #8 in Memoir on the Kindle. That's out of 18,900 listings!

Ann and her debut memoir can also be found on Celerytree.com. Go here to view the book page. Go here to view Ann's author page.

A few of the great comments that have come through during the blog tour posts:

"Wow! This sounds like a great idea. I'll have to check it out." Connie Keller, author Screwing Up Time

"Don't I just love cozy little Davids with their slingshots aimed at Goliath!" Denise Covey 

"I am thrilled by this 'co-op' idea! Farmers have been doing this for years, and it makes sense to have it in the writing arena!" (future published author/Celery Tree member) 

"I cannot wait to have my book published so I can join Celery Tree. In the meantime, I think I will just order one of your books. Here I go..." (Donna O' Shaughnessy)

  4. Hi Karen .. Ann is a great blogging and author supporter .. and I am looking forward to her new ghost-written story, as well as her own new book ....

    ... yours too - I loved Farm Girl - and Julia Hones' review is really good ... I loved the historical aspects. It's very likely that Hans and Sofie both came through England ..

    It's an amazing world .. and I love what you're doing with Celery Tree - it definitely deserves much growth ..

    Cheers Hilary

  6. Ann, you give hope to those of us who might have thought we missed the boat along time ago. I'm counting on a lot of writing days ahead of me.

    Karen, you're doing a great job with the Celery Tree idea. We never know what will happen until we try something.
