Maybe one day I can be blasé when I hear I have a book ready
for print. Maybe.
But
right now, upon hearing that my publisher is nearly ready to print that
first copy, I find my self trembling. This is the most exciting moment
of my life.
The second most exciting
part is hearing I have time in the When Words Collide writers/readers
festival in Calgary Alberta to read excerpts from my book and offer to
autograph. Yes, I am to read on August 9th at 6pm and August 10th at
10am from the pages of Love 'n Lies.
My very first finished book. Ever!
The
Owl's Nest, a book store in Calgary, will have copies of the book
available at the festival. Well, hopefully. I might have jumped the gun
here. See, I have no idea how long it takes a book to go through the
whole publishing process.
You cannot
imagine how wonderfully exciting that is to me! I can't either. My feet
haven't touched the ground since I got that email from the Owl's Nest.
I knew I would be reading excerpts, I volunteered to do that. But to
have my book available as well. Oh my goodness!
Now
I have to think about how I am going to be able to autograph this book.
I have blogged about an accident I was in in 2011. Well...my hand still
does not work properly. I have enough problems typing for any length of
time. I cannot hold a fork for long. A pen is almost an
impossibility. So this could be an issue. Would I be allowed to use a
stamp? Can I sign something so that a stamp maker can get a decent
imprint to use? And will my fans allow me to use one - supposing I
have any fans.
No. I will not let anything bring me down. Not now. Not when my dream is coming true!
