Baby boomer 91裸聊视频淏uba91裸聊视频 Pauline Daniel knew that she was on to something when friends and family were up in arms that she hadn91裸聊视频檛 written her weekly 91裸聊视频楾uesdays with Jack91裸聊视频 Facebook post.
And, when they asked if everything was all right after missing several consecutive posts, she knew that she had struck gold.
Daniel, a Nelson-based certified life coach, used those posts and community feedback to fuel her debut novel, Tuesdays with Jack, for which readings and book signings are slated for Oct. 20 at Bookland Vernon from 12-3 p.m. and the Vernon Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library from 3-5 p.m.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 still wrapping my head around 91裸聊视频榓uthor,91裸聊视频91裸聊视频 Daniel said. 91裸聊视频淚t feels amazing. It feels surreal.91裸聊视频
Since Jack91裸聊视频檚 birth in 2011, Daniel has spent every Tuesday with him. Whether it91裸聊视频檚 taking him to gymnastics class or making whipped cream, the grandmother 91裸聊视频 or buba 91裸聊视频 grandson relationship thrives on Daniel91裸聊视频檚 Tuesdays with Jack. The pair91裸聊视频檚 adventures later became the subject of Daniel91裸聊视频檚 obligatory Tuesday Facebook post.
91裸聊视频淏efore you knew it, it had a following. It was just the power of love and Facebook,91裸聊视频 Daniel said.
After approaching a publisher with the idea, her debut novel was born. On Jack91裸聊视频檚 first day of kindergarten 91裸聊视频 Sept. 6, 2016 91裸聊视频 Daniel began writing. And, six months later, she was ready to submit her work the week before her 65th birthday.
91裸聊视频淚t was really anticlimactic. It was kind of lonely. I don91裸聊视频檛 really have the language for it. It was an empty sort of feeling,91裸聊视频 Daniel said of penning the final line. 91裸聊视频淚 was surprised how depleted I felt. It was intense. It was really intense.91裸聊视频
In addition to being her debut novel, Tuesdays with Jack also denotes an embarkation into a different flavour of writing for Daniel.
91裸聊视频淭his was my first attempt at anything like this,91裸聊视频 Daniel said.
Prior to the novel, Daniel91裸聊视频檚 previous writing largely consisted of a regular coaching column in the Nelson Star.
91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 think I could have done it without the editor I chose,91裸聊视频 she said. 91裸聊视频淓veryone who helped me with this book brought love to it. It just adds to the layers.91裸聊视频
After the launch of the book earlier this year, Jack has revelled in the spotlight.
91裸聊视频淛ack signed books (at the book launch). His mom said he liked being famous for a while. I adore this kid,91裸聊视频 Daniel laughed. 91裸聊视频淗e thinks that every 10 years I should write about him.91裸聊视频
91裸聊视频淚f you91裸聊视频檙e a grandma or want to be one, this book will amuse you.91裸聊视频
However, while Daniel has nought but fond memories woven through the pages of her debut novel, she said that Jack91裸聊视频檚 book is now finished.
91裸聊视频淲e decided that I91裸聊视频檓 no longer going to actually put verbatim what he says (in my work),91裸聊视频 Daniel said.
Inspired by the success of her debut, Daniel said she has ideas brewing but nothing is currently in the works beyond a potential title.
91裸聊视频淩ight now, I91裸聊视频檓 still in love with this book,91裸聊视频 Daniel said. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a book just about love. It was a desire in my heart that was planted there and supported by people. When it wouldn91裸聊视频檛 go away, that was my cue to listen.91裸聊视频
Tuesdays with Jack is available for purchase online through and at the two Oct. 20 book signing events.
