And a book is born...

Probably the best part of the publishing journey. Seeing and holding the book in person. My author copies arrived yesterday. I held ILLEGALLY BLONDE. It is real. My book is here. And it is beautiful.

  3. Thanks everyone! It is, indeed exciting and awesome and thrilling and weird and every adjective that describes amazingness!

    And, Sarah? I am definitely walking around with a copy everywhere I go (kind of like having a newborn baby attached at your hip and with that same level of protectiveness and pride that accompanies something so significant.)

    I am, as ever, awed by the support the writing community gives. Y'all are the best!

  8. Thanks Laura, Barb, Medeia and Maureen! It is a lovely, lovely (but still unreal) feeling to see the book in person.
