THE BOOK IS HERE!
Posted on: December 14, 2010
God is so faithful! My dream of becoming a writer came true today when boxes of books arrived at my home! 31 Days to a Younger You: No surgery, No diets, No kidding is here!
In 2006, I made a goal to write a manuscript.
In 2007, I met writer Pam Farrel who has served as my amazing mentor. Pam encouraged my writing and showed me the ropes.
In 2009, I signed a book contract with Harvest House Publishers in May. The book was due in October, one week shy of having baby Lucy.
And today, I received a beautiful Christmas present. My book in black and white. My highlight was how excited my daughter Noelle was to see her name in the book. That was the best! I read stories about her from the book and she thoroughly enjoyed the attention which surprised me. I figured she’d get a kick out of being in a book years from now, but now at 4 years old, she’s already happy!
Here are some more pictures from the big day. The opening of the first box…
Some of you pre-ordered books from me at speaking events. Here I am signing the books. I really enjoyed doing this!!!
I hope to sign one for you soon! 🙂
