Have you ever wanted something so badly that you didn’t dare
hope it would come true? Even in my twenties when I spent so much time day
dreaming I would tell myself – it’s okay, maybe you’ll write all this in book
some day, but I never really believed it. However, because of blogging, because
of the friends I’ve made here, because of the encouragement I got from those
first stumbling stories, I did finally write my book. And today I want to reveal here the cover and
my release date. So deep breath and a drum roll and…
The release date is December 11
– circle your calendars. I’m
thinking of having it tattooed on my forehead.
I’ll be announcing it on my new site PK Corey’s Reading Room tomorrow. I
began that site just for promoting my writing and books (plural, I hope). But
I’m new there and it doesn’t feel quite as much like home. The other writers
have been so kind and I’m really getting to know some of them. But so many of
you here have been with me for years. You all are the ones who have sent me love
and support from the beginning. So this
was where I wanted to make my first reveal. I feel I can be more sentimental
here. I know many of you here know what Cassie means to me, you know the ups
and downs we’ve gone through. If things go as I want them too, there will be a
series of Cassie books. But I can’t imagine anything surpassing the excitement
I feel about this one. Thanks to all of you who made this possible.
Absolutely beautiful cover. I am so thrilled for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sunny, I thought it was just perfect.
DeleteAll your blogger friends are so happy for you. A first book is like a first baby and let's hope you have many more to write. Good luck with the launch. We are all rooting for you.

Grace, you can take much of the credit - or blame, depending on what others think. If you guys hadn't been been here for me none of this would have ever happened. Thanks, you know know what you mean to me.
