FFV Advanced Proof Copies Have Arrived

I received the Advanced Uncorrected Proof copies of my novel, Feisty Family Values today.  Five Star Publishing is the best!  I have two weeks to edit for errors and notify them, and the remaining copies will go to bookstores and reviewers to start a buzz prior to its release.  It’s all very exciting and oh so real now that I have a printed copy in my hands.  This is a dream come true for me and every other writer out there, and proof that it CAN be done.  (I never gave up, never quit writing, kept on editing, and submitting.) I promise to let everyone know when it’s available for sale.  Look for it in February 2010!  Woo Hoo! (This is the most I’ve ever used exclamation points, but I’m really pumped and can’t help myself.)

Novel Cover Art Is HERE!

"Feisty Family Values" has a cover, thanks to ENC Graphic Services and Five Star Publishing we have ART.  I am so excited and pleased.  It captures the feel of the house in the story very well.  When February rolls around you'll know what to look for.  Stay tuned and I'll let you know as things develop.

For those of you that don't know the story, it revolves around three mature (and feisty) ladies living in Wichita. It's a tale of relationships, friendship, and love and growing old with grace (hopefully we all do).
