Isn't she pretty? And a giveaway.
12 January 2010
So, yesterday was totally one of those non-writing writer days that I had no idea existed for authors until I became one. I spent my morning getting invitations for my January 23rd booksigning in the mail, which involved hauling my two-year-old to my dad’s office, where I hogged his computer and printer.
Then while she napped, I worked on getting the cover for So Over It uploaded onto the web site. I’m not dumb with technology or anything, I’m just slow. My awesome web guy wrote out really detailed instructions for me so I can upload my covers as they come in. I swear I read every line about 10 times. I just know I’m gonna hit one wrong button and wipe out the whole thing. But the end result is this, and in my totally biased opinion, I think it looks pretty fab. It helps that Skylar’s exceptionally pretty on this cover.
The only hard thing about uploading all the stuff for So Over It is that she’s my last one. I mean, there will be other books, but this is the last Skylar book. And I’ve been working on The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt on-and-off since 2004. While it’s been awesome to see her “take flight,” so to speak, there’s also sadness with closing that chapter in my life. Like when McKenna was suddenly no longer a baby, but a toddler. Yes, it was always the plan, and yes, it’s what we’d been working toward, but I felt a pang of loss when it happened. Though I still get to do promotions and all that jazz for So Over It, so I’ve got some time yet before I really have to break down and blubber. (And since I’ll be releasing the last Skylar book and having a baby all within about 2 weeks of each other, I imagine there’ll be some blubbering going on…)
Last thing before I end this. Patty Wysong is hosting me on her blog both today and tomorrow. She interviewed me, and is also giving away a copy of Out with the In Crowd. So head on over to enter.
Okay, that’s it. Have a fabulous day, everyone!
