Celebrating the Adventure

There are so many things to celebrate as I launch my first indie publishing adventure. Most of all, I want to celebrate YOU—all those who have stood with me, encouraged me, read my blogs, and spurred me on. It’s been a long and winding road, but you have been there, and I appreciate it more than you can ever know.

The work of writing is often a lonely one, but when people like you connect with me—whether through a blog post comment, a FB “like”, a retweet, or personal interaction of some kind—well, that makes my day, week, and sometimes my month! Thank you.

To my husband who gives me the space and time to keep on keeping on. Thank you!

To my illustrator who made the story come alive with her beautiful art. Thank you!

To my designer who puts it all together into a wonderful thing called a book. Thank you!

To my picture book critique group who massaged the story over and over again until it was just right. Thank you!

To my writing colleagues who faithfully gave me honest feedback, even when that feedback was tough. Thank you!

To my friends and family who have inspired me, cheered me on, and never given up on me. Thank you!

To all who encourage me through their texts, emails, or social media contacts. Thank you!

To all you non-writers who just don’t get why I spend my days and years creating “stuff” without criticizing. Thank you!

To everyone who doesn’t say, “Why aren’t you published yet?” Thank you!

So now, if you haven’t had a chance to check it out, here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/Lexies-Adventure-Kenya-Love-Patient/dp/0692686630/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1460662300&sr=1-3&keywords=Lexie%27s+Adventure+in+Kenya (There’s also a hardback and ebook edition). I hope you and the children in your life enjoy it, and I’d be so honored if you would pass on the word and write a review.

Thanks again! What do you think? I’d love to know!
