Beyond Excited ~ My First Book to be Published!

 

BNB

 

Writing a book is sort of like giving out a huge chunk of your inner self to the world.  It can be very frightening, intimidating and a little daunting.  I have been wanting to publish my work for some time yet kept on listening to the negative and non-serving beliefs in my head.

 

As I continued to write my story, although the doubts crept in, I was encouraged by my peers, friends and my husband to persevere and forge ahead.  I am so glad that I didn't listen to the nay-sayers and listened to those who truly care about me.  Negative thoughts are non-productive so leaving them behind is the best method for sure!

 

Currently my book is in the design phase with the cover, interior and editing.  I cannot tell you how pumped I am each day to see the progress, work with the editing and design team and watch this creation become a reality.  I know that many of you have already gone before me and have published your work so know that you have been my heroes and my inspiration.

 

We are looking at beginning of January 1, 2016 launch!  What a great way for me to begin a new year with this dream becoming a reality!  I will keep you all posted and I thank you for your encouragement and your well-wishes.  Thank you for allowing me to share this news with you as well!

Congratulations Paula McDonald I just got back from taking photos and doing a couple of interviews for a book that I am writing about deported US Veterans.  Reading about your book and the information about your life on your web-page are giving me a lot more inspiration for my book.

Oh  - I forgot to ask.  Will this be published as a Kindle version?  I have to admit that most of my reading is now on my Kindle.
