The Countdown Begins!

          In sixty-nine days, my 1st novel will be available to readers!  I feel like I've been pregnant for the last three years and an induction date has finally been set.

          Like any expectant mother, I'm alternating between feelings of excitement at bringing something new into the world and worry for what the world will do to my little one.  Will readers hold this piece of me lovingly and with appreciation?  Or will they dropkick it into a corner and run screaming from the room?

          Ya'll play nice with my baby!


           Here's the official release from my publisher/midwife:

Yes, Virginia, There is A Publisher!

I am thrilled to announce that my first novel, a YA urban fantasy titled HEIR TO THE LAMP, has found a home with World Weaver Press!  I can hardly believe those words.  My genie story, born of a desire to put some of the anecdotal stories of my favorite young people  (those I birthed and assorted others) on paper lest they ever forget accidentally starving a hamster to death or aspiring to be garbage truck drivers, is going to be published and available all over the world!

I can't stop smiling...or writing the book's Acknowledgements page in my head.  There are so many people to thank, but for now I'll start with Eileen Wiedbrauk and Elizabeth Wagner of World Weaver Press.  Thanks for giving Virginia and her wacky family a home.

I'll be passing along details about the publication and availability of HEIR TO THE LAMP as they become available.  Here's WWP's official announcement:
