Former 1970s BJ State Desk reporter Paula Tucker sold 2,261 copies of her book, “Surviving: A Kent State Memoir,” named one of the best of 2020 in Northeast Ohio and given The Silver Palm by the Florida Writers in 2019, in ONE day.
Paula posted from The Villages, Florida, where she resides:
“So
excited! Just got my 2nd quarter 2021 royalty check and found out I sold 2,261 copies
of my book during a one-day promotion on 5/31. So happy! It is still available.”
On
Kindle and since September 29, 2019 in paperback ($18.41 on Amazon.com, which
describes Paula’s book as “an eyewitness account to an event that changed
history.”
Thirty
yards from Ohio National Guards troops firing away is about as “eyewitness” as
anyone would want to be.
May
4, 1970 and the slaughter of four students and wounding of nine others helped
turn America against the Vietnam War.
When
a country is murdering its children it’s time to re-think what it’s doing. And
it did.
“Her experiences at Kent
State helped her to grow into a resilient woman who doesn't give up easily,” an
article about Paula in GoodRead.com said.
I can personally vouch for that since Paula and I were together for
17 years. She’ll be returning to Ohio in August to visit family and friends.
GoodRead article also stated:
“She is a self-proclaimed fan of James Patterson, Roxane Gay and
Fay Weldon as well as a lover of classical literature.”
She got her first "rejection" letter in Akron fourth grade
when Sister Mary Joan handed back her Br'er Rabbit story with "What is
this?" written across the top in bold red letters.
The 9-year-old Paula explained that she wrote had the story in a
southern dialect.
Sister Mary Joan retorted: "Stick to normal writing from now
on!" Those who think outside the box often suffer for it early but later
become famous for doing that very thing.
You can find Paula on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linkedin.
