I am so excited...
Many years ago, I was out on a date with my hubby and I pulled a book off the shelf titled, "Damn! Why Didn't I Write That?" on how to write non-fiction. I didn't have much extra money so I rarely bought a book but something made me buy this one. I read it, was inspired, and sat down to write. My first book proposal was rejected. Yet, it still felt good to hold that rejection letter in my hand. At least I had tried.
Fast forward to a few years later after being blessed with a little boy and then a girl, my mind returned once again to writing. I kept thinking, "Wouldn't it be wild to walk into Barnes and Noble and see my name on a book?"
So, let's fast forward to tonight. This is why I am so excited...
Just for kicks, I typed in my book title (eeek!) into Amazon.com never imagining that they would have it available for pre-order already... but they did! I am thrilled! Fleece Hat Friends will be available on September 4th, 2012. In my search, I see that the book is listed (so far) on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, too.
I spent most evenings and many weekends last summer in my basement measuring, cutting, sewing, and snipping. It was quite an intense process... a labor of love! It feels oh-so-good to see the final product... and to share it with you!
