I don't mind making myself vulnerable by sharing something exciting- that MAY very well flop!

The cookbook /travel memoir I've had in the works for a decade was not only completed this past winter, but after sending out 2 dozen query letters I finally received a green light from Sasquatch Press in Seattle!

I high-tailed it to Kinkos, got a good quality copy printed-up, including a photo collection of over 400 pics., as well as copies on cd and thumb-drive and the Fed Ex shop in the same store packaged it all nice and professional-like for me, and now... I wait!

I am so excited/relieved/thrilled/nervous/AFRAID/hopeful/curious/anxious... did I say EXCITED?

I have NO IDEA what type of time-frame to even expect to hear back, in. Two weeks? Two months? Six months? A year? Maybe not at all? Maybe they'll call me and leave a wild voice-mail of cackling LAUGHTER on my machine and ask me "What makes you think you can write?"?

Anyway- I might have a denial letter to share with ya'll about, at some point. But my hope is that rather- I'll have a title to refer you to at your local book store!

Please cross all your fingers and toes for this fledgling author. Any kind vibes would be SO appreciated!
