I am excited to tell you that while I am waiting for our baby to arrive I will be busy writing. I have been contracted to write a four book series based on my childhood, with the help of Suzanne Woods Fisher.
I need to have the manuscript for book one finished by September which is creeping up surprisingly fast! It will then be released in September 2012 which somehow doesn't seem to be approaching with the same kind of speed.
In the meantime I am having a lot of fun recalling memories from my childhood.
With out having had my blog and all you loyal readers I don't think I would be writing a book, much less four of them! I want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to each and every one of you!
Congrats on the your news. I congratulated you yesterday on the baby news, so today this is for the book news. :) Or both....anyway, I love Suzanne's books and her talk show, so can't wait to read ya'll collaboration. I am sure it is going to be GREAT. Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!
I'm so happy for you!! And I cannot wait to see the books! What a busy mommy you'll be!
