Last night, I received my first copies of my new book. I thumbed through a copy, self-critical and holding my breath. Then I tried reading it to my dogs, but they lost interest after deciding the fresh ink smell was not palatable. Then I autographed the first copy for my husband.
Then, like the big geek I am, I photographed the book on a shelf in our library. Here it is, hot off the presses and sitting on the shelf alongside the collected works of Shakespeare. Didn't you just know you'd live to see the day? :-)
Thank you all for your support.
If you haven't heard, "The Lessons No One Taught Us" is the inspiration for my next book, which will be a collection of essays about life's most important, and sometimes most startling, lessons.
Do you have ideas for a "lesson" I ought to explore (in the blogosphere, in the book, or both)? I welcome your suggestions. In fact, I'll choose my next post from among the topics you suggest. For today, I'm just focusing on "learning not to eat too many jelly beans."
