The moment I've been waiting a LOOONG time for is finally here - I have an actual, honest-to-goodness real live copy of my book!
This is the proof copy, which means it's not for sale quite yet - but it will be VERY SOON! As long as I don't find any major errors in the proof that need changing, it should be listed on Amazon by the middle of next week at the latest - just squeaking in for the get-it-shipped-before-Christmas deadline (in the U.S., anyway!). My husband has already given it a look through and didn't find anything amiss, so keep your fingers crossed :)
I'll be sure to let you know when it's available, and update the Cheap Appétit page here on the blog with links to all the relevant Amazon pages (it will be listed on .com, .ca., and also .gb and .austr I think!).
Writing a book has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I still can't quite believe I've actually done it. I've written newsletters, op-ed pieces, tons of blog posts and other assorted articles, but nothing else has come close to seeing a whole book with my name on the cover!
Guess what everyone in my family is getting for Christmas this year :)
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, can't wait 'til it's in stores.

Congratulations, Karen — I'm so happy for you! What an achievement!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! I always wanted to write a book, too. Congratulations on achieving one of your dreams.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, everyone! I did approve the proof copy, so I'm still hoping it will be listed on Amazon next week. Stay tuned for further details.

ReplyDeleteIt's not on Amazon.ca yet (sorry, fellow Canadians!) but I'll keep you posted :)
