So…I know some of you might be surprised by this, but having good news to share makes me feel so, so very self-conscious. This is the standard writer neuroses kicking in big-time, I'm sure, but, well, there it is. And yet it fills me with such joy to get a blurb for my little-book-that-could like this one, just in from New York Times bestselling author (and extremely amazing writer and person) Cynthia Leitich Smith:
"This haunting, romantic mystery intrigues, chills, and captivates."
How can I not be over-the-moon and share? (Long-time readers of this blog will know just how much I adore Cyn's work.) So. YAY.
I've also seen the very first rough cut for the Blackwood cover and I may have squealed. Actually, I may have squealed both at this blurb and the not-yet-finished cover.
I need to be getting more words on the new work-in-progress (and I shall; 700 today, which is not bad at the beginning), but I also know that it's important to stop and appreciate moments like this. Blurbs from writers whose work I LOVE, the very first cover comp of my first ever Actual Book… Sometimes I have to remind myself it's okay to stop and squeal! over these things, and that some of you might even want to squeal! with me.
Squeal away, my dear. We’ll all join you. YAAAAAAAAY!!!
(and see you soon!)
MWAH! See you SO very soon. I can’t wait.
Yes, G, want to squeal with you! You’ve worked long and hard, and deserve these moments! Enjoy them all, and I can’t wait for your book. Seems like it’s a-coming fast:) Huzzah!
It is coming SO incredibly fast! And I’m glad I have a new book to write so I can’t obsess all the time…but thank you. xxx <3
Enjoy every moment!!! Yay!
Thank you, dearie!
Oh, I remember how that feels! The cool thing? It never gets old 🙂 Congratulations. Enjoy.
Glad to hear that! And thank you. 🙂
