Happy news:) as of yesterday afternoon, my book has gone to print and should be up on Amazon.com on Friday. They asked if I wanted a proof of my revisions and I thought, why? I'm too anxious.
Here's the deal, I am buying a carton of books to sign, I intend to have a book signing here so if anyone there wants one, I'll send you one for the price on the cover, no S&H. The book is $8.95 and I am going to do my 10% tithing thing with $1. from each copy sold going to kids in need.
I have begun writing my follow-up book, "Back to Catskill" or "After the Loony Bin" or something like that. I am open to suggestions. Oh, I have an idea, if somebody can come up with a really good title for the book, I'll send you a free copy of this one.
The book will be about the year-and-a-half following my release from the loony bin and how much fun it was to go back home and back to CHS. I have just been told that even if you don't use last names, you can still be sued for defamation of character even if it's all true! Is that so? Well, too late now... The last chapter is a little bit about what happened during the next year-and-a-half. I am bound by contract not to give it away but I will tell you this,
from the book, paraphrased,
I wish I could tell you that the rest of my story read like a fairy tale, but this is real life and that wasn't the case. One of the rah-rah girls leaked out that I had spent the previous year in a mental institution. She taunted me in class, every day, making my life a living hell.
I quit school a month after I started my sophomore year.
I am so proud of you! You are and always will be my hero. I love you and am very blessed to have you in my life; however, it is my privilege to call you my sister/BFF.
ReplyDeleteAwww, right back at ya, little sister:) For anyone else who may not have heard or read this before, you're the best thing mom ever did for me!
ReplyDeleteLove you to infinity,
