Is there any chance I can get a signed copy of your book, When I Grow Up, please?
I’m physically disabled, I’m unable to drive, access public transport, to leave my home unescorted, and I live nowhere near the book signings. I know it’s a cheeky request for a long shot, but one of my Mother’s many adages was “don’t ask, don’t get”, or as I rephrased, “don’t ask, don’t give them a chance to tell you where to @#$! off”. I could be your understudy, if you ever need a housebound one, and some days I wouldn’t need to do anything with my hair!
Thanking you kindly and muchly in advance, with love and *Special Hannah-hugs*

Can’t wait to share the book with my grandkids! They know the song well and sing it especially while they are on their swing sets! What a great influence you have been on them, Tim! Hope all is well! Love, MaryLou from NJ
