Holding the Book in My Hands
It’s always exciting to arrive home and find a parcel of books awaiting me on the front porch. But it was excitement of a different order when I noted that the return address on today’s parcel was that of my publisher. Could it be? Yes it was— my ten author’s copies along with a note of congratulations.
All In Together Girls should be available in Canadian bookstores and from online retailers by the end of the month. The Toronto launch party will take place on the evening of April 22nd. If you’re in or near Toronto, please mark the date on your calendar. I would very much like to have my local blogging friends there to celebrate the occasion with me! I will provide more details soon.
In the meantime, I’ll savour this first moment of holding the book in my hands, no longer just ideas in my head or files in my computer, but a physical object independent of me, poised to make its own way in the world…

Congratulations, Kate! You must be thrilled!
Congratulations! That is so exciting!
That must be a great feeling. Congratulations.
I would like to have that experience just once... I am on a book buying ban, in an attempt to clean out the TBR pile, but I do plan to buy this book as soon after it comes out as possible! I always like to say I sort of know this author. My friends don't have to know it is because she reads my blog and I read hers... Anyways congrats on the book! Enjoy all that comes with it and I look forward to reading it!
my sincerest and warmest congratulations, kate! pia (peer´s sister)
