I always promised myself that when and if I ever sold my novel I would first get stupidly drunk on frozen margaritas and then, after the hangover cleared, I would finally set up my own blog.
Last week my book, The Professor’s Wives Club, was bought by New American Library (woohoo!). It has taken me a week to recover – although not fully – from the margarita-haze, but here I am writing my first entry on my very own blog. I’m feeling more than a little proud of myself for navigating blogger, picking my font colors, inserting pictures, and listing my links. Although, if I’m honest, the whole system is pretty idiot-friendly and I’m certain my three year old could create himself a blogspot (if he would just sit still for five minutes).
Anyhoo, this is going to be fun.
Hello, blogosphere!
Congrats on the sale and welcome to the blogging world. Warning: It’s very addictive.

Welcome to blogging……. and HUGE congrats on selling your book. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, the premise sounds great.
Such a cute pic of you and your son… I remember when my boy looked cute… now he’s over six foot aarrgghh.

I’m so proud of you for SELLING YOUR BOOK!!!
AND for figuring our Blogger. I’ve been Blogger compromised–long story, but am very stupid on it. Must take your tutorial
Thanks for adding me to the sistah-hood!
thanks, stephanie! yes, we definitely need to share some cyber-margies WHEN your book sells!
and yes, that’s Benny – my barrette wearing boy! i can’t just bring myself to cut his golden locks and the barrette is the only way to keep it out of paint, snot, oatmeal, soup, ketchup….
Oh, and one more thing–thanks for linking me on your sisterhood sidebar!
OK, wait–your little man? He is so beautiful, I thought he was a girl… and is there a barrette in his hair?? I’m so confused, and NO, I am not drinking!!!
Yay! I love your blog set-up and will make sure to visit often!
So very excited for your accomplishments and hoping that one day I can have a margarita-infused celebration in honor of selling my book (I’ve had my share of margarita infused-celebrations, but none for such a great reason!)
And you did a great job setting up your blog! It looks great!
Thanks Amanda. You are my blog-guru!
Yay, welcome to blogland. I love the photo of you and the little man – he is soooo cute!!!!
