This is Christine

I know
you don’t know her, and I don’t know her well, but
this is Christine, everybody.
She is a very kind, cool woman, and she’s the first person who asked to interview me as an author. Me! Of all people. It’s a new title to add to the list: mom, writer, spouse, teacher, sister, aunt, cousin, on and on. “Author” is different than “writer.” “Authors” are people who have books published. And in two months, that’s me. Why do I have a picture of Christine? She wanted a photo for the story and she likes the ones I have on here, which are the point-the-camera-at-yourself-and-hope-for-the-best kind. So we gave it a try.
The reality of sending a book out into the world is this: life is busy, and the list of things to do is long. There are interviews and bios and bookmarks and networks and copy edits and prizes and contests, and it never stops. BUT . . . it’s fun. A ton of fun. And it’s a dream come true.
So Christine, it sounds corny, but thanks for helping me make my dream come true.
