I interrupt my regular posting schedule to make a brief but exciting announcement:
The manuscript I submitted last fall has been officially accepted for publication!!!
Excessive use of exclamation points is warranted!!!
Tentative title!!! Band of Sisters
Tentative release!!! Spring 2010
About!!!
Five women whose husbands are deployed in Afghanistan. Each has her own struggle and story, and the experiences they have and the friendships they make change them forever.
(Quite a departure from the whole historical temple novel thing, no?)
Good thing #2 baked brownies after school. It's time for chocolate!
!!!
(Thought I'd add more exclamation points. They fit. I'm exited!)
