ARCS Are Here!

So the ARCs actually arrived last Wednesday. I tracked them through the UPS app to our local post office, and then stopped there to see if they'd give them to me early instead of getting them in the mail Thursday. They allowed me to take them (YES!), and I opened them later that night.

To say they look amazing is an understatement. My publisher did a wonderful job on the cover and interior - I couldn't be happier! I'm so excited to get this book out there into the world!

It's an amazing feeling to open that box and see the fruits of your hard work sitting there. It's quite a surreal experience! Now I'm reading through my copy of Lift, looking for grammatical errors. I've found a couple, and know there are at least a couple more. But that's what this phase is for. It's so cool to see my own book on my bookshelf at home! I'm still not past that surreal state, but getting there.

I've been asked to write a short blog post about Lift and the writing life in general for the Breathe Conference website, and I'm happy to be a part of that community. Their conference last year was inspiring, and this year I'm attending both days instead of one. It's great to be able to give back to the writing community!

I hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!
