Description

Trying to move to a new home… on a new block… in a unknown community? Follow Ernst and Esme as they run away from buyer’s remorse and through multiple back-up plans & enjoy your ride! If you like the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland, Dave Ramsey, and Garfield, you will appreciate the inspiration of Before Long, Let’s Move. Improve the odds of finding your dream home with this 70-page illustrated-comedy adventure.

If contentment is a virtue, then buying the perfect place is sheer romance. Why not laugh at the not-so virtuous detours we take along the road to said contentment? Yes, recognizing a few things you’ve learned in the maze to your sweet spot may solve many inherent problems that a new homeowner faces once innocently unforeseen.

PRAISE FOR BEFORE LONG

“Wow! Before Long will resonate with anyone who’s had an “Oh my God, what did we do?” moment after moving into that seemingly perfect situation. I was particularly moved by this book as I’m currently considering my options and found Ernst and Esme’s adventures to be very illuminating. There’s something appealing about that log cabin on a mountainside that convinces the unwary that the snow won’t really be that bad after all. This thoughtful, well-presented and light-hearted book is actually a font of wisdom, one that anyone considering making that move to the home of their dreams should consider reading. You might save yourself a lot of grief and moving, which is often the same thing, isn’t it? Arkinsly’s characters seemed like old friends by the time I finished her book, like my tribe even, and their moving adventures seemed to echo many of my own thoughts and fears. Before Long: Sheer Romance of Finding a Home is most highly recommended.”

– Five Star Review, Jack Magnus, Readers’ Favorite

“I laughed out loud when I realized I’d just done this very thing with my car! Fictional Ernst and Esme allow you to accompany them through their buyer’s remorse to the glee of finding a place to belong. This is a great housewarming gift or Thank You for the new Harley gift!” – Verified Buyer

“Poking fun at a young couple searching for a place to call home, Before Long teases a home buyer’s angst with some look-in-the-mirror humor. With the surprize ending, Before Long is a very funny closing gift.” – Harold Chugg, Closing Agent

This comedic tall tale is the guide to alleviate risk on your road to personal happiness. Why not laugh at your discontent and ease the pain of personal financial planning.

Better than a how-to home buyer’s fix-it manual for anniversaries, housewarming parties, a loan officer, and home seller’s thank you’s. Inspirational, it’s the fun gift to bring.
