Sweet, brilliant you,
I have news to share.
Big, big news.
Ready?
You sure?
Because if you’re busy, this can wait.
Oh, okay.
Well, my dog got a haircut.
But that’s not the big news (though he does look quite cute!).
I’m smiling so big right now.
My book is going to be published. You get to read it!
It’s being published by a brand new, amazing publisher based right here in the Detroit area.
Do you have any idea how hard it was for me not to blab the news until everything was official with paperwork and stuff? Let me tell you, it was a task!
Sending you wishes for a great first week of June…
- Jody
Congratulations to you. I think the book contract is wonderful, and I think the topic and the young people the book is written for, is long overdue. You are targeting the very group that your book can do the most good for. I wish you much success.
Thank you so much, Mary Ann. That means a lot.
WOOHOOOOOOO! TIME FOR A CELEBRATION!!!!!!!
I am SO proud of you, Jody! Like, I want to cry (in a good way!). And… it’s only the beginning
Therese, you are one awesome un-grownup. Thank you for being so cool.
I have been looking for something like this for some teens/tweens in my life and, though I have only just found you, I’m thinking you’ve nailed it! Can’t wait to read the book!
Thank you so much, Sarah! Really, that made me smile. I’ll be reading your blog.
