Tween's exuberant, breathless squealing over the phone on Monday night... ahem... |
I've been thinking it's high time this blog had a giveaway... don't you agree?
And since Only a Novel by Amy Dashwood has just hit the virtual shelves on Amazon.com, today seems like the perfect time.
I haven't yet run in circles, screaming and shouting, "I'M AN AUTHOR, I'M AN AUTHOR!" a la Jo March, but I must say I'm pretty excited. (SQUEEEE!)

| Okay, okay, so Eponine's not exactly screaming for joy in this pic, but you can pretend she is. :P |
I blogged over at
The Quest for Stories about my mixed feelings on the subject-- you can read the post
here. It was incredibly thrilling to hold the proof copy in my hands on Monday evening, and now that the book's
actually available, I think I'm in a state of semi-shock.
 |
| Phew. |
So please, check back this afternoon or evening when I'm thinking a bit more clearly, and you can enter to win a copy. Sink me, I can hardly wait.
 |
| This is a pretty good depiction of the mysterious smirk on my face right now. :P |
(Oh, and all those of you who might think that I was using this post as a good excuse to share a bunch of my favorite pictures-- I have no idea what you're talking about. Nope. Not a bit of it.)

ReplyDeleteI can't believe it. Whoa. That is so amazing - and I didn't even know until today!! I looked on Anne-girl's blog to comment that I'd reached the 50k mark (about halfway thru my novel, heehee), and saw she said something about you publishing your novel and I was like, "WHAAAAA?!"
Oh, my stars. Even if I don't get the autographed copy, I am SO buying it!!! Congratulations, m'dear!!!!! And I didn't even know that you were thinking of publishing it - and in paperback, too!! WOW!! Who's it published by?!
Congrats again!!

How exciting! Were you homeschooled? Because I have a blog that features homeschooled authros.
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you everybody for your sweet comments!
ReplyDeleteEowyn,
My book is actually self-published right now. I did it through CreateSpace, which is an Amazon affiliate.
Sarah,
Yes, indeed I am homeschooled! I actually follow your blog. :D
Great! I will add your book to my list!
