It's entitled,<a href="http://www.romagnoli-publications.com/books.html"><b> The Sullivan Saga: Memories of an Overseas Childhood</b></a>.  It will contain many of our family stories, as well as pictures.  I plan to release it in three versions: an illustrated edition that will include photos, a paperback narrative without photos, and an e-book version.  Because I feel strongly that the photos (and home movies) make a huge difference, I will include a link to a soon-to-be-live Photo Album &amp; Story Website, www.sullivansaga.com.  Stay tuned!</p> </div> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:38:21 -0500 http://www.romagnoli-publications.com/rompub_weblog_2/welcome_to_the_rompub_weblo.html
