The first copies of my new book came today by Fed Ex.
Do you remember the scene in Back to the Future? The dad opens a box and pulls out copies of the book he’s written. Well, it’s exactly like that. The box (in this case a padded bag) arrives at your door, and you open it with trembling hands.
In my case, you show your dogs what you’ve done. They were mightily impressed. They’re big fans.
Then I called my dear friend Olivia, and I suggested we move our lunch to my husband’s store, the Steinway Piano Gallery of St. Louis. I ran by Schnucks (a grocery store, yep, I spelled it right) and bought us salads and a bottle of champagne. When I got to David’s store, he gathered all his employees, and he toasted my success.
It was pretty nifty. The folks in the store have helped in all sorts of ways. Gerry Malzone has helped with graphics. Pat Sonnett has helped with mailings. Others have simply been kind enough to ask about my progress.
Then I drove over to the Veterinary Group of Chesterfield to get more dog food, and I couldn’t resist bringing along the book, because I thank lots of people there, too.
I read a rant by Robert Randisi about authors whose acknowledgements go on for too long. Maybe Robert doesn’t have as many people to thank because he’s been at this a long time.
But I sure do.
Thanks for sharing your excitement over the book. I did a similar thing when my latest came out in June. My hubby thought I was nuts carrying the book around, but the excitement is too much to contain. Congrats!!!
