Good Things in the Mail…

Or the sequel to Good Things, to be exact! (Which, by the way, is on sale at Amazon.com this week for less than $5!)
My publisher, Berkley/Penguin, just sent me an early copy of Table Manners. I love getting packages but of course this was especially exciting. I’ve been working on the book for over a year and have been looking at the cover art for what feels like forever, and yet it’s still incredible to actually see the real thing in front of me. Expect to see another post like this when I actually see the book on the shelves!
If you are an aspiring writer (well, I actually believe that if you write, you are already a writer, so I should probably change that to “If you are a writer who aspires to be published…”), I will not lie—writing a book is a lot of work. Even if you love writing as I do, it’s still work. And revisions? Boy. Tough stuff. Keep the tissues near by—you’ll need it. I couldn’t find mine today and I was a mess.
So while I am in the middle of some seriously hard work right now on book four, it was such a joy to hear that familiar beeping sound from Fedex and then find this on my doorstep. It’s officially in bookstores on August 4th (a Tuesday!) and I hope you’ll pick up a copy and let me know what you think!

How exciting! It looks great. I also wanted to tell you that I purchased another copy of Good Things to pass along to my “non-reader” trainer at the gym. She is from the Big Island, and so I told her that you’re a local author, and that she really should read your books! I can’t wait to pass it along. Thanks again for my copy of Table Manners!!! I’m so excited, and can’t wait to share it with the readers of my blog. I loved the note too.
