There’s Susan Gregg Gilmore eating her Dilly Bar at the Mt. Juliet Dairy Queen just like she did when her grandfather took her there after church on Sundays when she was a little girl.
Susan launched her book Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen
on Tuesday night at Davis-Kidd Books in Nashville. It was cold and rainy and yet about 150 fans and friends showed up! Even some wonderful women who chose Susan’s book as their next book club choice — they drove in from the Donelson, TN area!
Bev Peery, Davis-Kidd Store Manager, who is simply THE BEST, kept bringing chairs out and welcoming more guests.
Jack Adams, who owns all of the Dairy Queen stores in Nashville brought Dilly Bars as a treat for everyone!
On Wednesday Debbie Allen hosted Susan on her new internet show that has a reach of 40 million women world wide On the Home Stretch and Susan fielded questions from around the country.

Ben Steelman’s review in Wilmington, NC Star News
I love Ron Wynn of the Nashville City Paper’s review, but I haven’t found it on line yet.
Jonathan Marx at The Tennessean did a great Q&A with Susan.
Of all the fuss and excitement of the last few days, the thing, I believe, Susan is most excited about is that Renee Graham, owner of the Mt. Juliet DQ and blogger of “Renee’s Ramblings” has told Susan that her store will specially hand-dip Dilly Bars and add the Curly Q just for Susan…that’s the way she remembers her favorite treat.
Friday night will be a big one in Chattanooga at Rock Point Books where there should be quite a crowd for Susan and her book! If you want to hear Susan interviewed on 102.3 The Talk Monster at 10:00 a.m.
Did I mention that I love this book?! If you want to see Susan’s 20-city national tour schedule, visit www.BookTour.com
