IT'S FINALLY DONE!

CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL: LOVE STORIES is officially out in stores now, and it was very exciting going to Coles with DH and the kids to pick up my own copy, despite knowing the publishers were sending me one.


I am proud of myself, not to toot my own horn. Oh shit who am I kidding? TOOT TOOT. This is a big deal for me, having a story published in a book like Chicken Soup, and the responses I've been getting from the story have been marvelous.

I have an interview this week with a reporter, and a photographer coming to take pics of me for a story on the book. Yeah more excitement. In the meantime I'm busy getting my novel ready for Harlequin. I finished my query and it's going out tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

If you'd like to read a copy of the story I wrote inside Chicken Soup for the Soul: Love Stories. You can do so HERE.

Drop me a line and let me know what you think.

Congratulations, JP!

I just read your story, and I, too, "couldn't stop the tears from flowing." The emotion really came through. Wonderful, tribute to an obviously wonderful man! No wonder you're so proud!

Great job!

Thanks Jeanne: he was wonderful, and it's coming up on the year of his death, so the story coming out in Feb which is when they got married just seemed right. It's the one thing I could do for myself to remember what a great guy he was.
