Countdown to Publication: Fun Fact 6--Join Me on the Journey
Dear Reader,
If you have been following this countdown you have been treated to photos, audio interviews, songs, videos, maps, poems, passages and confessions. With just 6 more days to go, I fear that I have run out of fun facts -- or the ability to recognize them. I think this is because there has been so much good news in the last weeks about the book. It's been chosen as an Indie Next Pick for February, a Borders Original Voices pick for March, Best Book of the Month by Amazon.com for February, a "Top 10 Book of 2010" by the Boston Herald, and won Elle Magazine's Readers' Prize for March!
In the coming weeks, I will be reading & celebrating in several cities--and you'll see some national publicity for the book. (Stay tuned for more details--) So, I've decided for the last few days--I won't be looking backward but forward--and take you on the journey with me. I'd love your company!
With affection, heidi
