FINALLY - My Book is out!

...



I received an email this afternoon to say that my book is published, as of today, January 13... lucky 13? ;-) I went and had a look and the book is up on Amazon already. They picked the cover design, but I'm okay with that - I really like their cover.

To recap - I originally found out about the publishing offer from Russell/Bassman , who is also eagerly awaiting news about his own book. The offer was from a publishing place that offers free publication to new unknown authors. It was a "first come, first served" basis. Basically they publish and you get your big chance... to swim or drown. Well here I am paddling like crazy! :-D It still doesn't feel real, but it feels GOOD ... and scary.

I promise to return and tell more about the book, but for the moment I just want to sit here and let it really sink in. :-)

    Congratulations Michelle! Well done! I can't wait to hear more about it. I went and looked at it on Amazon and started to add it to my wishlist when I realized I was at Amazon.co.uk. Ooops, I don't have an account on THAT Amazon yet!

    You've even got your first review, from a fellow Texans no less. Awesome!

    I've added info about my book here and started a seperate blog for my book, so that I can keep things more "tidy". I chuckled at your smiley face. I've done that, but worse still - a friend of mine accidentally typed something wrong online and turned his name into a swear word recently. Thank goodness the forum he was on has one of those filter things and it just zapped his name, but we all had a good laugh about it when he explained why his post was signed *****! ;-D
