Future Letters has been out for a YEAR!
My first book was published one year ago! Future Letters is a year old - WOW! It's hard to believe that I've been a published author for a year today. In that year I've met some amazing people - authors, bloggers, bookworms - some in person, lots online. I've discovered what a great and supportive community there is out there and am so glad that I'm part of it.
When I wrote Future Letters only two people read it before I hit the publish button - my husband Scott and my friend and editor Lyda. Now that I'm working on getting my second book out into the world Scott of course was the first to read it, Lyda is again one of my editors, but so is her son/my monkey boy Greg and I was brave enough to ask a couple other people to read it in advance as well (Thank you Loralee and I love you Shay!). A lot's changed.
I've signed a few copies of Future Letters, been part of a few giveaway and have my own stack of signed books, bookmarks and swag from other authors. I've actually spoken to and met (online and in person) some of my favorite authors.
I started working at a high school and edited loads of student essays, had teachers buy my book (and ask for me to sign it) and encouraged a 17 year old student to write and helped him map out his own book (he's even making me a character - Rucifey - head of the Demon Slayers).
I never dreamed how much my life would change after clicking that publish button.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this journey.
Now.... let's celebrate with a giveaway!
