Catching up with Rita Wieber.

Last time we talked with Rita, her book "Gym Moms" was only in the works. Now that it's published, we decided to talk with Rita again about the book sales, what tour stops she will visit and the plans for her new book!

Triple Twist: Overall, how would you rate the outcome of the "Gym Mom" book? Do you think it has been successful?

Rita: "So far sales have been steady on my website. I haven't done a "press release" or any official marketing yet. I have a new website launching soon and will do a big "grand opening" at that time. I've had lots of good feedback on the book and I am working on an outline for a 2nd book."

Triple Twist: So you plan on writing another book?

Rita: "I have two more books in mind. One will be called something like "Things I learned from my daughter" and cover Jordyn's entire elite career, her Olympic experience, and how the whole thing changed my life."

Triple Twist: On your website you mention some new products coming out in December, can you share what those are?

Rita: "I will have products for mom's including tote bags, key chains, t-shirts, coffee tumblers, and car stickers. These will be great gifts for gymnasts to buy for their own GYM MOM. They will be sold separately and bundled together in different packages as well."

Triple Twist: "Will "Gym Mom" eventually be sold in stores or anywhere else besides your website?

Rita: "I'm working on that now. The next step is to get the book on Amazon and create an ebook. There will be an audio version too. Bookstores are also in the works."

Triple Twist: How hard has the process of writing and publishing a book been for you?

Rita: "I've been a writer for 14 years, so the actual writing part came pretty easy. USA Gymnastics offered to publish my first book which made the whole process faster...it was great! I'm taking the responsibility of all the marketing of the book, so that's going a bit slower."

Triple Twist: On your blog you mentioned signing autographs at the Arizona tour stop, do you plan on being at any of the other stops?

Rita: "I will be in Memphis, Detroit, and possibly the Thursday, Friday, Saturday shows in the first and third week of November."

Triple Twist: Can you give us an update on Jordyn's injury?

Rita: "Her leg is healing well. I believe she is going to begin tumbling soon. Right now she can do bars, beam, and dance in the show with no problems"

Triple Twist: Do you know if Jordyn has any plans to continue training after the tour?"

Rita: "We haven't even had that discussion yet! Just enjoying the moment for now!"


Thank you for your time Rita!
