My debut book is now available!

Yes, you can now read about how Francine and I managed to work together for over a decade at her iconic Vancouver Asian antique shop. Oh, there are stories. Can you say, “Mother-Daughter dynamics?”

I’m thrilled to share I got a copy into Francine’s hands on Saturday. Elderly woman in green top holding bookIt was a proof copy, mind; one with a few mistakes since corrected in the author’s copy. Don’t worry, I’ll get her an autographed copy sooner than soon!

Has she read it? Yes! She called me yesterday to report she’d stayed up late into the night and finished it. I admit it got me teary as she’s not read a book in awhile. Always a voracious reader – three books in a week was not uncommon – at 101, she’s more comfortable doing word searches now. So, for her to read Never, Never, Hardly Ever in one sitting? A true example of the power of a mother’s love.

Here’s the universal Amazon link

I thank you for your support and hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Kelly McKenzie worked at her mother’s Vancouver Asian antique store for over a decade. After struggling to make her first sale, she went on to become her mother's dependable right-hand gal, picking up bookkeeping skills, marathon running and a husband along the way. A cast member of Seattle’s first Listen To Your Mother show, she’s been published in community newspapers across Canada, in the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series and in various blogs and anthologies. Never, Never, Hardly Ever is a result of Frankie’s endless encouragement to “get our antics out into the world.”

  1. I ordered my copy as soon as I’d dropped the kids off at school this morning. Can’t wait to read it. Congratulations on the launch, Kelly!

    1. Oh Donna, thank you so very much. That’s fabulous. I do hope you enjoy reading it.

  2. Your big day, Kelly! Congratulations. I’m going on Amazon this very minute to order my copy. (I did have this day marked on my calendar 🙂
    And of course Francine loved the book – she’s a star! Plus I’m sure she appreciates the exceptional work, talent and love her daughter put into “Never, Never, Hardly Ever.”

    1. Thank you, Jacky. Love that you had it marked on the calendar! And yes, Francine has called me several times about the book. She “read it late into the night.” Honestly, I’m really pleased I got a copy into her hands.

  3. Just ordered three copies. Maybe a class reunion this summer would provide an opportunity have them signed!?

    1. Thank you so much, Susan. I do appreciate it. And that’s a good idea re the class reunion. How on earth are we celebrating such a momentous number, though. Yikes.

  4. Just ordered my books, and can’t wait to start reading !!
    So very happy that your Mum has already read your book, she must be very proud of you, as am I !!
