I'm pretty pumped.
It's been a long and incredible journey. While it's hard to envision waiting another twelve months to see this to completion, I'm sure the next year will pass far more quickly than many of the items on that unbucket list: say, nearly drowning in a sensory deprivation tank or enduring a Brazilian wax.
The coming months will be busy with edits and proofreading, cover design, and planning a number of reading and signing events. I hope you will continue to stay tuned for book news here and on The 52/52 Project Facebook page.
As new life experiences go, this one may prove to be my very favorite.
P.S. Book events? Where should I head?

Sherry!! Yay! This is wonderful news. Congratulations, my friend. I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Averil! I am hoping to do a book event in the Portland or Seattle area. Would love to meet up when I'm out that way!
DeleteSherry:
ReplyDeleteI completely get being elated and freaked out at the same time! I've published two novels, "Sweetland of Liberty Bed & Breakfast" and "That Sweet Place: At Home in the Heartland." While writing is such a solo experience, the marketing and selling is the exact opposite! I love it and my two mottos are: Nothing is wasted (and) If asked to speak, I say YES! The offers will come but start encouraging them now. I have no idea about your travel / marketing budget, if your publisher finances press trips or publicity, but I can tell you it is YOU and YOUR personality and wit that will sell books. And you've got those down pat. Looking forward to hearing more of your journey and as someone who has had some interesting experiences once the books have been out, would love to network with you. Write anytime: newsgirl.1958@gmail.com.
Donna: Thanks so much! I really enjoyed your first book--it made me so want to open a bed and breakfast! ;-) Can't wait to read your next.
