Here at last, here at last, thank God almighty...

They're here at last!

My publisher, Jim Brumfield, sent this box of ARCs -- Advanced Reading Copies -- of my novel, THE BRIDGE AT VALENTINE, which the UPS man delivered yesterday. Couldn't wait to tear into it and check out the book, which looks terrific, all glossy and trade-paperback-ish, nestled in its box of white Styrofoam wrap. Never has a delivery man in shorts made me so deliriously happy. Now to share with a few key local reviewers, and pray for happy results.

Keep your fingers and toes crossed? (I've said it before, but I'll say it again -- it takes a village to sell a book!) Thanks for your support!

The Bridge at Valentine -- Pre-order from Amazon Now -- Woo!

THE BRIDGE AT VALENTINE, my first novel, is now available on amazon.com for pre-ordering. Although Amazon says the book debuts August 16, that's an error -- it actually debuts August 1, which Amazon promises to fix. Soon.

Meanwhile, my publisher received his first box of ARCs (Advance Reader Copies) and says they look great. Now keep your fingers crossed for some great reviews...
