Oooh, brilliant news! I’ve been waiting for this book for what seems like ages and can’t WAIT to finally read it
I review ARCs for goodreads, amazon, netgalley and various other places, so if you’d like some pre-publishing buzz about your book, I’d be delighted to do a review for you. I’ve already pre-ordered a copy of your book, so this is a no-strings attached offer

I just ordered my DVD and ebook too. Excited to “meet” your family, I didn’t learn of you and your big bike journey until you were settled again.

@Karla, Welcome to the family Karla! You will enjoy the book and DVD – it’s an amazing story.

Yay! I ordered my e-book. I plan on doing a book review on my blog on each of the books you’ve published. I’m sort of reading about 8 books simultaneously right now, so it might be awhile. LOL

@james, Thanks for telling me! I got that taken care of.

Hi Nancy,
I know this is probably a crazy question and that I’ve come up with just about the only purchase option NOT on the list…but is there a possibility of a sale on just two of your books without the DVD? I’d be really interested in the new ebook and “What were we thinking?” purchased together at a presale price. What do you think?

@Rachel, Thanks Rachel! I will email you.

C0uld you explain what the DVD version is? Does it contain video or is it a slideshow etc? Excited to buy the book too. You are helping us work on our own plans. Thanks.

@Steve, Good point, Steve. The DVD is a video documentary of our journey that John put together. He took video during our entire journey, then pieced it together to tell the story. Although there are a few still photos in there, it’s mostly video and tells the whole story.

Just ordered the book and DVD. Eager to get my hands on it! Will the ebook be sent at the same time as the book and DVD? I read your Cookies book and loved it! Also when I sign up for the newsletter it says something like: this email address has been used too many time. Try again later. That’s just an FYI.

@Barbara J Johnson, Thanks Barbara! I just checked and it says you are already on the list. Are you not getting letters from me?
[Reply]
Nancy, I’m sure I am receiving all your letters, at least from Face Book. The notification about the prerelease of your book was by email.
[Reply]
The reason I signed up again was that I thought that’s how I was to get the ebook.
[Reply]
Thanks Nancy. I’m really looking forward to hearing from you via email – hopefully soon! Take care, and thanks for going after your dreams and being an inspiration to many many other people who desire to do the same, in their own way! (Sorry for making this a new comment – the website kept throwing up an error when I’d try to respond to your answer to my original comment – just thought you should know!).

@Rachel, Thanks Rachel! Email sent. I can’t imagine a life of not chasing dreams.

Just ordered my paper copy – feel privileged to be part of the story as I thought of the Changing Gears idea – so good to see a thought come to fruition
Take care
