In-Between Holidays Post

I had a holiday post planned up until I ended up seriously ill on Christmas Eve but am recuperating under the watchful eyes of my boys. I am happy to report (albeit a bit tardy) that my very first contract is signed, sent and it has finally sunk in - this is real. I don't like talking about things before they are truly a done deal. Now I can talk about the next steps which have me nervous and excited. A fantastic pre-Christmas gift indeed.

My upcoming release with Breathless Press is for their Naughty Nursery Rhyme line and is titled Ride a Cock Horse. I am still pinching myself and look forward to working with my editor, the art department (trust me, my artsy self has been thinking about that a lot) and getting my novice toes dipped into the publishing world. While I don't think anything will start popping until after the New Year, I have been thinking about the time and energy that I will want to spend promoting/marketing the book. It is daunting considering the time suck my life currently endures but I am up for the challenge.

If I do not have an opportunity to post again before the New Year, have a safe and cheery one!

  1. Tara, thanks so much! If we hadn't gotten on that discussion of nursery rhymes this never would have come to pass. I am thrilled.

  3. Timing was perfect Nina. Excited really is not a strong enough word to describe how I feel.
