The book is doing very well, I've had 4 booksignings in New Orleans and New York and also am wrapping up a month-long Radio Satellite Tour. I have also been asked to read for a part in a possible t.v. series that will be shot on location here in New Orleans. I am currently working on my next manuscript, have acquired a small production company called, "Yes,Indeed!Productions,LLC. Life in New Orleans is still a struggle even after 3 years has passed. My hope and effort is to keep the light shining on our city of New Orleans until the Corps of Engineers completes our levees in the correct manner. I pray and hope that the world has not forgotten New Orleans,Louisiana. Hurricane Katrina still lives in our city, to some degree and some are very, very bad. I am determined to do what it is within my power to help my city, our city of New Orleans heal and get back on its feet again. We have much to offer the world. I remain, Mrs. Phyllis Montana-Leblanc. Survivor.

An Inspiration in a Frighteningly
Uncompassionate World
Phyllis, this world would be a much more disheartening place without you. I'm so happy you survived because you've enlightened me to some important things in your book. I too have struggled with a past abusive spouse, loss of my house, having my world turned upside down...we live in a really narcissistic culture in the United States, nobody really cares when their fellow man (or woman) is hurt anymore. If they aren't the ones suffering then what does it matter to them? I find it surprising how many have lost their homes due to the housing crisis. I try not to be negative, because they are now suffering too, but I have to wonder if karma will continue to come back around for those who maybe didn't recognize the true need for others in their country. I love you most cuz you are real. I think the fake ones are hurting others in pure negligence and self-absorption. In my life I have a hard time keeping people out of my personal business. Now when they just have to ask...I ask 'em what their social security number is ;)
Thanks and keep publishing!
