It's true!!! For the first time I have been published in a Gooseberry Patch book! This is HUGE to me! I blogged about it back in February when I first got the letter informing me that they wished to publish a short essay I submitted about my love for autumn in New England!
Today I received my advance copy of the book !
It should be available for purchase around August 1...earlier than I thought!!!
OK, I admit it...I was jumping up and down when my husband handed me the mail and I realized what the envelope from GBP probably contained because I hadn't placed an order! And it took me about 30 seconds to shove the book in Kevin's face so he could read it!!! And within minutes I had posted it on GLU and Facebook!
Yeah. I geeked out just a bit.
I couldn't help it. That is MY name there!!!
I will be announcing my book tour soon......

Congrats on being published :) I love Autumn too, especially when summer really hits here in TX! I'm from England but the weather there leaves a lot to be desired! I like the rest of the year here just not the summer now.... I'm longing for Fall even before July 4th.
