Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you spent the day and evening with someone you love (and it didn’t have to be a significant other)!
It is amazing that significant events surrounding my book happen on some sort of holiday or special occasion. On my birthday, I received my advance reading copies of the book that were sent out to reviewers and endorsers. On Christmas, my wonderful sister gave me an engraved scrapbook with my book title on it so I could chronicle my adventures as a published author. And yesterday, Valentine's Day, I received my actual books!! Yes! They are in my hot little hands ready to be signed and sold! I could hardly breathe when I opened the box! It is like seeing your newborn child for the first time. It was real. I wrote a book and it was published. I am a writer. No, I am an AUTHOR! My heart is exploding with love and gratitude that I had the faith to believe in myself enough to do this. And those of you who were there cheering me on and especially those who were the inspiration for this body of work, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
Introducing the Debut Release in the Big Sister Guides Series!
"Your Big Sister's Guide to Surviving College" (Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing, Inc.) is an insightful map to help girls navigate the journey through life as a college student. told in a "big sister to little sister" manner.
About ten years ago, I wrote a freshman year college survival guide for my little sister that I presented to her when she moved into her dorm room for the first time. This amateur, Kinko's produced spiral bound book contained advice on every aspect and scenario of what a young girl can expect in college and how to handle herself. My material was largely based on the experiences and sometimes the mistakes made by me and my friends. I recently resurrected the piece to bring it to all college-bound young ladies.
I remember what i t was like having to learn the ‘hard way’ about life on campus and life in general. For many girls, going away to college is literally a crash course on becoming a woman and being completely responsible for yourself. My goal is to ‘soften the blow’ a bit and help young ladies learn life’s lessons armed with common sense and a little big sister wisdom.
