OMG!! The big time! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you weren't going to read reviews... How lovely, Amy!
I started to read it but I STOPPED MYSELF. I haven't found the book in our 3 local bookstores yet, though one Chapters said there were 2 in the store somewhere. We are moving so I don't want to order it! I'm hoping to find it on our drive across the country. We're driving through the US so I don't think I'll have trouble. The comments above sound like good news! Congrats.
The New York Times! Holy cow. I am so proud of you :)))
Hypnotic indeed. And a big day for all of us, your fans.
Thanks, everyone! What I love about it is we've all taken this strange journey together and you saw me at my lowest --wondering if I could finish writing the book, if anyone would ever represent it then publish it-- and now there's a review in the NYT. My turn now, your turn next.
Congratulations!!!
Thank you, Maureen!
Major congrats for the NYT mention! That's wonderful! Hope you do something fun to celebrate.
Shauna, funny you should mention celebrate. When I called Kristy Kiernan to tell, she said I must go out that very minute and buy a good champagne. Unfortunately, I was in the midst of cokking dinner for my children, then there was homework, the dog's bath, my husband was working late, and I really don't care for champagne or drinking alone. Maybe I'll celebrate today with the fabulous women of my writers' group -- though with lemonade. Cheers!
