The year has been busy and eventful. My beautiful book, "Sitting in the Silence", has been through the pushing, pulling, revising, sprucing up by one of my favorite Graphic Artists and is just about ready to be launched.
Anyone who has written a book knows the merry go round an author goes through getting the book out into the hands of readers. Writing the book was easy! It now seems like it is a baby way way beyond its due date. This mommy is tired of pushing.
I know it is a long time coming and most of my families eyes glaze over when I bring up "My book".
I do care about what my readers think of it and I think you'll all be pretty blown away. After all, I was blown away when I saw what it will finally look like.
When I asked my friend, Dawn Daisley, to help me, I really was stuck. I knew the publisher was waiting for something- anything -from me. Dawn put all the puzzle pieces together and made it look like a book--Voila! She took the photos and made them look so much better than the ones I took. She held my hand and told me that we could do this thing. She was my mentor and IT wizard. I'm so grateful to have made that phone call in August!
Now the work begins and there is more pushing involved. Marketing, Media, Social Media, you name it! Here we come! I would love you all to leave your reviews on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It is important (I found out) to moving the book into book stores.
Oh, and it is about Meditation and the way the sitting quietly has come to help me. I am sure you will enjoy "chewing" on the words that correspond to each bench picture. Maybe take a break in January. Be Still and Know that I am God.
