A Message From Reilly For Rosh Chodesh Elul

Just A Quick Note And Reminder

Thank you to everyone whom has bought my books! Part of my goal especially with my books that concern my family history and genealogy research, as I've said in my most recent book, is to help me help others as well for others to help me in my research. For example, as I state in my newest book: 

"I hope that at least one reader of this book will help me warm and thaw the gone-cold trail of Rochla[, the missing relative about whom I wrote the book].... Specifically, I hope that he or she will use the information that I provided and that others provided to me to trace what happened to her. I also hope that anyone else whom is researching what happened to Rochla...will be helped in being given this information, and that any reader who helps me would also help them." 

For any author, by the way, that (that is, to help others in some way) should be a goal (whether it's, for instance, to help a reader in his or her research, give him or her food for thought re a current-events issue, or just help him or her de-stress after a long and di-stressing day).

Now I Can Announce the Following

After quite a few months, I've finished and published my most-recent book with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. It should be available on Amazon soon. PS Part of the reason that writing the book took so long: Depression, ADD, and OCD/Anxiety flareups got in the way. This is also part of why I haven't been as active on any social media (e.g., responding to messages) as much as I could be. I acknowledge thar mental illnesses can definitely affect the quantity and quality of my work (e.g., how much I write and publish and how quickly I write and publish as well as how well I write).

PPS I'll admit that I'm checking constantly to see when the Kindle edition will go live.

PPS:

PS Pictures related to the first video tell the story in quite their own way.

Another Reilly Adventure In Pictures

Long story short: Reilly's tactic to actually let "Momma" take pictures in hopes that others might see them and side with her didn't work. She knew that she wasn't supposed to bark, could've just quietly watched the other puppy and his or her owner instead of barked at them through the window, and had to stay down from the chair until "Alexa [said] that [she could] get back up [on the chair and look out the window]". She also knew what "Alexa, set a timer for five minutes" (a timer to which "Momma" subsequetly had to add time) meant.

Besides, she's the kind of pup that would more likely want scritches from even any intruders than to alert "Momma" (or "Mom-Mom" or "Auntie Michelle") to any intruders for any reasons than scritches! So, her tactic to try to convince anyone whom'd see the pictures and think that she was being a guardpup didn't work!

Being a good girl even when she behaves badly does not mean that she gets to get away with behaving badly, let alone trying to get others to side with her in whatever way she as a puppy can (at least try to) get them to side with her when she's misbehaving!
