Yes, the ARC copies were the sonogram come to life--only no spit up, and it slept through the night! <br />Your cover is lovely!!

Also, I'm really happy that I completed the rough draft of my second women's fiction novel before the first one came out. Whenever I felt too overwhelmed or anxious, I said, "Just keep on writing." Hope that helps!Ernessa T.

I am so fortunate to be here and I appreciate the support!<br /><br />Judy, I am taking a deep breath as I write this. Isn't it funny how often writing activities lend themselves to birth and marriage analogies. <br /><br />Susan, Thank you! I think we share an editor, who, btw, mentioned that she LOVES you.<br /><br />Therese, I remember wondering, after my second child was born, what I had done with all my free time when I had only one. PS: I have been staying up WAY too late reading your beautiful book which I finished last night. Just the right mix of deft and complex, and a wonderful reminder to live in the moment.

She just laughed and told me to remember to breathe (kind of like my Labor and Delivery nurse).
