So, I wrote the book, The Advocate. Then I rewrote the book. Then I rewrote the book again…and again…and again. I finally found a publisher willing to take a chance on me and guess what? She had me rewrite it again. But I’ve got to tell you, this process is great fun, every step more exciting than the one before. Look at that book cover….It’s gorgeous! And here is a description about the story. I’ll give you a minute to read it….
…See, isn’t that just the coolest? Makes you want to read the whole thing, right?
My head is spinning with news from my publisher. Right now, I’m thinking the only thing better than writing books is marketing books. We’re planning all these exciting things: speaking engagements, charity events, races, book launches, press releases, and other promotional activities that are brand new to me. I have no clue what I’m doing half of the time. I’m blogging, and twittering, and facebooking, and linking in, and linking on, and learning, learning, learning. Sheer excitement is carrying me through the process and I’m smiling like a Cheshire cat all the way.
The Advocate will be released in August 2009. Yes, I said August 2009! That’s just around the corner. So, you might want to get in line now at your local bookstore to make sure you get a copy.
It is the coolest! I’m so excited for you I’m smiling like a Cheshire cat as well. Besides, you always smile like that, wait…or is it like the cat that ate the canary?…humm. I can’t wait for the book to come out…tc.
Congrats, Teresa! Let me know when/where the signings are scheduled!

Congrats on your book. It’s no easy feat to get a book published. I’ve just started to look for an agent for a women’s fiction book. I refuse to be discouraged…even if I have to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite. So I’m starting my second novel and hoping to find a fabulous agent for the first book. Best of luck. I’ll be looking for your book….Yahoo for you~
