Book Deal

Published by athlyn at 11:46 pm under Freelance Writing Edit This

It’s been quite a month! I’ve signed a contract for a children’s book and the publisher wants a sequel–as well as other stories in the series.

The last two weeks I’ve been working simultaneously on three children’s books. Exciting to beat all get out! Between getting the contract in the bag and pulling new stories out of my hat, it has been a roller-coaster ride! But . . . a good ride for all that.

My poor boyfriend had two weeks off but, of course, the latest happenings had to take precedence.

On top off that, I heard that one of my health articles has been selected to appear in the Australian Mensa publication.

Sandwiched in between all this have been requests for blog posts and an offer of payment for helping someone to set up a Blogger blog. It never rains but it pours!!

That’s what makes the writing life so exciting. Some days it seems like Christmas!! –or, as Forest Gump would say: “You never know what you’re gonna get.”

If I can get four children’s books in the works this year, my writing goals will be on target.

Please keep your fingers crossed!

    That’s awesome. Well maybe it keep raining for you and maybe you could send some my way but of course I’d have to see about doing something about getting my book published.
