It arrived today! The book… My book! A Broken Ring
Vin asked me earlier to day while I was quietly waiting for it to arrive how I felt… A total mixture of excitement, trepidation of will it be how I imagined? Will it look okay? to the simple crazy of… Will it look like a book?! lol.
Well… it has pages with writing on it so that’s a start, I looked again… yes they are my words I chose to write it! It looks like it did online lol.
It is a book, my book and I’m in disbelief as now it’s reality, no more talking about writing or editing , even formatting,,, it is a complete book and to top it off, it’s glossy. Sweet!
I checked the first couple of pages and there is the Dedication I wrote to Vin and my children.
Secondly I checked the Acknowledgments and yes they are there too. The first to my father who was my rock, the second to my sister, thirdly to Dennis Golden of IM-Safe for his encouragement and inspiration and lastly but by no means least one of the most important people who have been in my life over the last few months as I traveled this journey… YOU GUYS!!!
Thank you so much for being there for me with encouragement with words of wisdom, support and love.
I love you and huge hugs to you!!!
(Please excuse the quality of the pictures so excited we used the camera phone so they are a little fuzzy! lol)
