I'm discovering that attending book events can be fun! They're a good way to meet new people and find out what they like to read and also write. Today I met fellow first-time author Alexandra Georgas, author of Mom & Me: My Journey with Mom's Schizophrenia  She and I both have a strong desire to make a difference in people's lives through the sharing of our stories. I also met Lou Holly, author of Southside Hustle.

My Name In Lights

I never thought I'd see my name in lights, but there's a first time for everything, and today was it! I had my first author talk, and this video a is a recreation of what I shared. I also talked about why I decided to write and shared a little about Portland too, but not too much, since I'll write his story soon. He was in heaven, because after we finished, I put him on release and he got some love!

Felt blessed to share our story, Making Independence Happen, with local patrons on National Black Dog Day! Despite the rain, I still managed to sell half my inventory, making my second author fair a success!
I also got to see Adrienne Giordano again, a nice surprise! She's a fellow author and a friend to Kelsey Browning, who has Pharoah, my current service dog's (Portland) brother.
Your next opportunity to hear me share our story, will be on October 8th at 11 am, when I give an author talk at the Sugar Grove Public Library, Youth Lounge. ​

My Story's Coming To Fruition...

3/4/2016

Tonight, I submitted my FINAL manuscript and cover to my self-publisher!  Now they're reviewing said manuscript, and will create a new master version that we will use for the interior of the book. Once the interior's complete, they'll review it and make sure it's ready for manufacturing and cataloging. When the review process is complete, I’ll select the final distributors for my book, provide them with a description (most of which, I’ve already done) and then they'll set the price. From there it'll be all about sales and Marketing!  

A release date for the paperback and Kindle versions of Making Independence Happen, One Paw at a Time© may still be a few months away, but it's coming, promise. Stay tuned!
