After all the waiting and fussing, my book is finally, finally here.
It arrived in the mail and I opened it up and it was strange but great. I can’t believe all the hard work that went into it- all the designing, copy-editing, etc.
As a special thanks to the people who worked on and supported this book, I’ve prepared a little video. It’s all about the rush, the surge of emotions, the joy and the fear that comes with opening a box containing your very own book. You can watch the video here. (yes, Dad, if you read this, that word’s a link. Cool huh?)
I hope you enjoy it.

Alice –
Books are my very favorite gifts. My friend gifted me with your book on Wednesday for my birthday. I just finished it this evening. Beautiful. As with any truly wonderful book, I couldn’t stop reading and am now sad that I’ve come to the end. I guarantee it will live in my mind for a very long time.
Not only have you been published, but you have created something truly wonderful. Thank you.

You are too kind, Shelley! I’m glad it meant something to you. Happy Birthday!
