Maybe my big break is coming at long last.

I contacted the "Tell Your Story" about Abilify and didn't hear back for a long, long time. Finally, a lady called me and we talked a while and I told her about my book and sent her a copy. She then had Pam call me and ask more questions and could hear the enthusiasm in my voice. She asked me would it be any trouble to travel. I answered that as long as they paid all of my expenses, no. We talked on then she said she was turning my name and information over to Bristol Myer Squibb's product department. She said they might use me as a spokesman for Abilify. Now, while talking to BMS people or in their name, I cannot mention the book. BUT--when they come up to me afterward one on one, I can do that and give out my business cards. If I start speaking, I can start selling my book. That's how your name gets known and you sell books. God, I'm so excited. But I tend to see the glass half full and that often gets me into disappointment land.
