Did you hear me scream? Iโ€™m guessing you did.

I signed with an indie press last week. I couldnโ€™t be more excited. The years โ€“ dare I say almost decades โ€“ of perseverance, persistence, and (sometimes) pain are over, and my book will be a book!

Thank you to everyone who supported me and believed in me. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me and cheered me on. Thank you to everyone who picked me up when I fell down and gave me a push (or a hug) to keep me going.

I kept going, and it paid off.

What publisher? Heliotrope Books. Where are they located? Get this โ€“ the East Village of New York City. They know my โ€˜hood; they get my past. When will it be out? I believe by next fall, 2018.

Now the fun stuff starts. The final copyediting. A final title. Designing a cover. Finding endorsements and reviews and local indie bookstores to host a book talk.

So those of you who have supported and believed in and encouraged and cheered me, the best work is next, and Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™ll be leaning on you again. Hope you donโ€™t mind.

Letโ€™s have fun with this. My book will be a book!
