AND MY BOOK! Got my bound galleys today -- GORGEOUS!
It's book-shaped! It looks like a book! It walks like a book! It talks like a book! I THINK IT MIGHT BE A BOOK!!! I'm so happy I could spontaneously combust! (But I don't have to, because I've got matches -- see on the cover?)

Ooh. Ever since I saw the scene in Back to the Future where George McFly opens a box full of his new sci-fi books, I have dreamed of that day.
Congratulations.
Sarah, Congratulations! They're beautiful. I bet it's all starting to feel real now. Be careful of those matches :)
Congratulations! How exciting! AND what great jokes. At least I hope they were jokes...
Sarah, your book looks gorgeous!!! I don't know you personally, but I'm so proud of you!! Would this be a good book for a girl of 15? Thank you so much for sharing your joy! Congratulations!
Sarah, I can imagine the joy you're feeling right now. I'd be flipping out. Enjoy everything that comes with being a published author. Make the most of your day, girl. You are the author of a beautiful book and wonderful story - if what I've heard is true!!!
WOW! I'm just going to sit here and grin.
Congratulations Sarah - it's so exciting! I love your cover and the handwritten title page!
That is a beautiful book. I wish it would hurry up and show up on Amazon.
Murph -- I so didn't remember that scene until you said it!
Nan -- Definitely starting to feel real!
Lisa -- I promise not to play with matches.
Sherry -- Thanks! It's for "ages 10 - 14," according to the back cover. I like to think a 15-year-old would dig it, though.
Barb -- I'm definitely flipping out!
Mom! :)
Lori -- I'm NUTS about the title page.
Rick! Hi!
That has got to be one of the best feelings in the world! Congrats!!
