Franzilla - I know! It's been a wild ride. And so worth it. People are posting pics of their kids reading my book on FB. So... awesome.

Thanks, all!

 :lol2 Siski, Nikki, I sometimes think of that very thing when certain blueboarders have success! Those SCBWI boards where we started seem so long ago...(Not even sure if you all recognized me from them, since I may not have been JennaWren over there  :)  )  Nikki -- love those FB pix. Can't wait to get our copy!

Nikki - the book arrived today! I'd tell you how awesome it is, but my 11 year old snitched it out of the mailbox and hasn't given it back. I can tell you that *she* is over the moon. ;)

So, you know middle grade books don't usually get super duper publisher-produced book trailers - since they're not very effective in selling tons of books, or so I hear. But I wanted one for my book launch and for school visits - even if it was just a homemade one.
So I rounded up all the neighbor kids, sweet-talked my incredibly talented photographer husband into taking pics... and here it is!! What do you think?

I'm pretty excited!  :hurrah
