I received my book contract!
Dear Readers and Writers,
I recieved mny book contract in the mail from Publish Ameica on October 14th-06. I read all of the eight pages, and today Sunday October 15th I signed the contract.
Okay for those of you not up to speed yet, I was going to go with PageFree but the money wasn't there to go with them.
I then decided on Publish America they do not ask for money and are not POD they accepted my book and even though Publish America has 365 day upon which to publish my book I feel good about this because I feel this is the right move for me.
I have to have the edits done and to PA by Dec 1st that is stipulated in the contract. While I will not grow rich off of THE CROSSED STITCHER it did bring me out of my writer's slug and more news.......
The book that was going to be my second book (STITCHES-N-STONES) will now be my third book and I have started writing the second book in the series. This works better because The CROSSED STITCHER was set in the fall season. (STITCHES-N-STONES) is set in spring which means that skipped winter-Christmas that didn't feel right to me so I am now writing on The TROUBLE WITH STITCHERS....
I will keep everyone alerted to when my book will hit the shelves and oh YES it will be on book shelves! That is possibly the best news of all!
Now I can start my PR and I think I am finally jazzed to do some PR, you see I am mostly an introvert so it takes some doing to get me to PR and finally I feel good about starting to do some of it.
Yesterday was 75 and sunny a beautiful fall day so yesterday was the most perfect autumn day. Today is dreay, rainy and cold but I still love it because it's all my favorite season, and I am having the best fall ever. Which is good because I had a pretty crappy summer.
Frank also surprised me yesterday and started cleaning out the garage and I didn't think I would live long enough to see this happen. He has his stuff, our children and their children's stuff in there piles as high as things can go needless to say I am quite speechless.
Supper--We are baking a ham for supper tonight and I can't wait for it as I missed lunch.
Life is good right now as all of us are well and extended family is well. I had a cold last week but I am doing better this weekend with that, I have good books to read, great friends who I THINK OF AS FAMILY, my little corner of the world is great.
On the cross stitch front I am stitching "Dear Santa, We've Got Cookies" by Lizzie Kate. I am about halfway through stitching it then I will do a fall piece (small) even if fall will be over by the time it's completed.
Mishell's Sampler will not be done for Christmas and I will instead give it to her as a birthday present the end of March. She'll understand the small project as I go through writing another book, PR on the first book and it will probably be out sooner than I think.
I imagine Melissa and Chase will be here next weekend so I will probably see them soon. Jay called last night and wants us to come up there and we will but Frank has some project to finish for Melissa first. Amy called earlier in the week and she is having to work Sundays right now so is pretty tired. Mishell's kids are in sports so it's a busy time of year for them. Frank Jr. is working twelve hour nights at the Casinos in Oklahoma and he's security so has to be there.
Amanda had her grandparents in from Lake Charles, La and so she is busy with company.
Okay I should close................
I'm reading DIE LAUGHING by Carola Dunn and loving it! If you like mysteries you should join us at cozyarmchairgroup@yahoogroups.com as I am the list owner and we have a ton of published authors on there Carola is one and this is her month that we showcase her an her work. But we have other authors on the list and writers, plus readers (all of us are readers).........
