Self Publishing part 2

Wow, can you believe it? I cleared the legal hoop. Next step--working with the team at Outskirts Press to get Tales of the Titmouse ready for publication...that means John needs to design the artwork for the cover, while I write a short synopsis, and everything that will go into marketing, and making sure it's polished....God is taking me on this amazing journey to help more of His children to get out of bondage to drugs. Along the way remember to pray.....

Self Publishing

I'm so excited that my stomach hurts. I'm getting closer to publishing my book. Spent some time this morning talking to my Author Representive on the phone. She liked what I wrote and really understood the work without me having to explain it. She liked the way it was written (thanks goes to my editor and also to my mom for all the polishing) and praised me for being able to take a dark subject and make it PG-13. She also knew the importance of it coming out now. We still have to jump through the legal hoops, so I have a call into a Literary Attorney I spoke to last year.... He just called while I was writing this. Gotta go.

Health Care Reform

As most of my friends and family know I don't have health insurance. I have been turned down repeatedly by the big name insurance companies, although I am not sick and I don't take medications. California's major medical option for someone my age is unaffordable. As much as I would like President Obama's health care reform to pass I do not want to pay for, or support abortions. This current health care bill has added on the Freedom of Choice Act. If you want to understand what the Freedom Of Choice Act is and what this implies check out this webcast.

In Memory of Seurat

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change." Our little green rump parrotlet,Seurat, died today and our home is too quiet. His joyous sounds filled our hearts with love, and I can't bear the thought that I will never hear him say "bye, bye baby" as I leave to work in the morning. I have never known a sweeter bird. Heaven is blessed to have him......Rest in Peace.
