It's here! It's here!

When it's been your dream to write and publish books since you were young and squirrely, there is nothing like holding your book for the first time.

It's got pages. It's got a cover. It's got my name. The characters that have bopped around in my brain for so long are there on the page.

It's thrilling.

To put it in perspective, I spent the majority of today reading The Diviners after I finished up some other work, and I finished the book in the early evening. The ending had me craving more, more, more, but sadly, a sequel to The Diviners isn't due until next year. It was such a rush, though, to read, and I can only hope that some people have that experience with my own book.

To reading and writing, friends! Never stop.
