Phew! It has been a WEEK…and then some.
Ghost Girl came out last Tuesday and the weekend before this magical thing happened
And then THIS thing happened
I was fine in the store believe it or not. But hours later, back home, it hit me hard. I did it. I did the THING. I made my biggest dream come true. Not without the help of so many wonderful kind people but yeah, it happened. I saw my book on the shelf at Barnes and Noble. To whoever might be reading this, that thing you want that you think can’t happen? It can. I promise you, it can.
Trust me.
Launch week was amazing. Talking with everyone about Ghost Girl was amazing but none so amazing as the class visit I had yesterday chatting with kids about Spooky Stuff!
It was incredible to see copies of my book in other people’s posts and every time someone sends me a picture from a bookstore my heart explodes.
So thank you to everyone who shared, read, bought, reviewed, or congratulated me. Sharing all of this with all of you has made this experience even better
And my friend Cindy sent me these!!!
And of course, the best best best part is seeing people’s reactions to it. These are two of my favorites. First up, I got a scooby do reference
And then one reviewer blew me away
See what I mean? How did I ever get so lucky?
From the bottom of my mossy muddy heart, thanks for celebrating Ghost Girl with me, everyone. You made my entire life! Cheers!
