I arrived home Monday night from a day out of town to see a package on my porch.
Immediately, my heart started beating a little faster.
Can you guess what was inside?

Thank you! Yes, it was amazing to finally hold my book in my own hand. My kids are almost more excited than I am. They think it's really cool and have been bragging to their friends. Now all of their friends want to buy it, too -even the teenage boys. I keep telling them they might not really get into a women's fiction, but it would make a great Christmas gift for their moms! LoL
How fun! You look so happy...I can feel your joy!
Congrats, Lynda!
Congrats, Lynda! You look like a seasoned author. So proud of you.
Reading the Madi ARC now. Trying to slow myself down so I can enjoy the parts that are already familiar just as much as the rest.
How lovely, oh how lovely! (to quote a hymn). We're dazzled and amazed and oh-so-happy for you!

I am so thrilled for you and here I am wanting an autographed copy, so I came to your blog only to find out I could possibly win one! Good luck everyone. Lynda...You are encouraging to me that I too will one day be posting myself holding my children's book!
Lynda: I'm soooo proud of you, girlfriend. Wish I could be a part of things this month but I'm wrapped up in NaNo. You are my inspiration though: I fully expect this story to propel me to the place you are at someday.
Aw, thanks, Kim! I know you are well on your way!
Coleene...will be watching for that picture! :-)

So glad I found this giveaway. I've entered twice over at Barn Door Bookloft and decided to search for your page to get to know you better. I would be thrilled to win this book. My last name means spider but please don't let that make you afraid of me!

So glad you found this giveaway, too, Spider Woman. Oh- and the only spiders I'm afraid of have 8 legs and look creepy. I'm sure that doesn't describe you, so no worries. :-) Good luck in the giveaway(s)!
Lynda, I'm so excited for you and can't wait to read this.
YAY Lynda! Be sure to frame one of these pictures. Congrats.
Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any way you possibly can remove me from that service? Thanks!
Ideas...I don't see your original comment. And I don't know how to unsubscribe you from that. I would think you could do that from the same dashboard where you signed up. Sorry!
