Rocket, Man!

The (paperback copy of my) book has shot up the Amazon list tonight! As of now, 8:30 pm., Making Peace With Autism is the #3 autism book on Amazon, and the #10 special needs book!!! I can’t believe it and I don’t really know what happened. I think what it might be is that I was supposed to do a show with NPR’s Weekend America today, but they chose a family with two autistic kids, one who is older than Nat, rather than us. But the producer told me that they would link to me. However, Ned listened to the broadcast and searched their website and found no link! Nor can he find out anything from my blog stats! It is kind of a mystery, but a wonderful one. If anyone reading this knows what happened, drop me a line. And thanks for reading.

Here’s what happened.
You wrote an awesome book with honesty, wit and charm. Parents have been hoping for such a book, so we’re all reccomending it. 😀

All I can tell you is that I got an email from Amazon.com tonight which said, “We’ve noticed that customers who have expressed interest in Send in the Idiots: Stories from the Other Side of Autism by Kamran Nazeer have also ordered Making Peace with Autism: One Family’s Story of Struggle, Discovery, and Unexpected Gifts by Susan Senator. For this reason, you might like to know that Susan Senator’s Making Peace with Autism: One Family’s Story of Struggle, Discovery, and Unexpected Gifts is now available. You can order your copy for just $11.20 ($2.80 off the list price) by following the link below.

Since I already own the hard copy edition, I deleted it but I’m sure lots and lots of people got the same email from Amazon.

You honestly shouldn’t be so astonished, it is a great book and I have READ THEM ALL! It is the book I gave to all my family and my daughter’s teachers and I recommend to parents of kids with ASD.

Congratulations Susan! Now back to the next book….

It’s entirely possible that my having it on my wishlist accounted for one copy. (I’ll know on Christmas, I guess….)
