Not this time.
Four years ago I sat down with my friends Yvonne and Randy during a conference in Dallas, TX. They invited me to their room for some wine and cheese, and I arrived with The Ex-Wives' Guide to Divorce proposal in hand. Our book was in the beginning stages and I knew they would give me honest feedback.
After reading through it, Randy's exact words were, "This is awesome. Call me when you get published. I'll hook you up in Houston."
Fast forward four years. The Ex-Wives' Guide to Divorce launched August 16, 2016. My call to Randy went something like this: "Randy...hey, it's Holiday. Our book is out. I'm pulling the favor card."
Randy did not disappoint. Flights were booked, appearances on multiple television spots, magazine interviews and local bookstore appearances were scheduled. Not only that but his amazing wife Yvonne escorted us around town in her PINK Escalade. Yes, I said PINK.

Yvonne and Randy opened their home and rearranged their lives for us for 3 days. They chauffeured us around Houston at ungodly hours of the morning. They worked countless hours to make sure this trip would be seamless AND beneficial. Valerie and I were blown away by their generosity. These people are the REAL DEAL.
Our trip to Houston was surreal. This was our first taste of the media, especially with our exciting television debut on the Great Day Houston show. Deborah Duncan was a dream host, engaging with us AND extending our time spot on the show. As Valerie and I were sitting side by side in our chairs on set we glanced at each other and smiled...this was the moment we had been waiting for. Our chance to share The Ex-Wives' Guide to Divorce with the world (okay...it was only Houston, but still...we were seriously excited!). As chance would have it, we met some fellow ex-wives in the green room who were also part of the show...proof that we aren't the only ex-wives who are also friends.

Following Great Day Houston we were whisked away to Fox News Channel 26. Our interview was fast and furious, and we got a taste of what a real news room was like.

| We {heart} Fox News! |
We rushed out of the newsroom and headed to a local Starbucks to meet the beautiful Maggie Gordon, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle. Our interview with Maggie lasted a little over an hour and then we were off again.
We ended the day with a book signing/appearance at the River Oaks Barnes and Noble. We signed books, took pictures, and even enjoyed a chocolate croissant on the house. Ahhhh...the perks of being published authors : )

After the radio show we headed over to the River Oaks Bookstore. Can I just say...this was the GREATEST. BOOKSTORE. EVER. Charming, quaint, and absolutely perfect in every way (just like the one from the movie You've Got Mail with Meg Ryan). The owner of 44 years, Jeanne, welcomed us from her rocking chair, offered cookies and refreshments, and showed us to a table they had so graciously prepared with stacks of our books, ready to sign and sell. Valerie and I visited with guests who arrived for pictures and autographs. We were mesmerized by Jeanne and her ability to welcome each guest by name, personally recommending books for them based on their previous purchases.

We wrapped the day up with a bow, having a celebratory dinner on the deck of a fabulous restaurant, ordering "one of everything"...it was the perfect way to end a perfect day.
On Saturday we were guests on Randy's radio show, Gardenline. By 6am we were on-air, taking questions from call-in guests and dishing out advice for those facing the big D.

The trip to Houston was a whirlwind...we learned so much on this first leg of our media tour...most of all, we are thankful for incredible friends who made it HAPPEN. So to Yvonne and Randy...THANK YOU! We know this is just the beginning of our journey...we are so grateful!

Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4 pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. email: drogunduspellcaster@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other Case.
