I just arrived home from a week at the beach, and what should be waiting for me on my front doorstep but a big box o' Major Crush! A year ago yesterday, I was winding up a week-long vacation at the same beach when nephele called me to say she'd received the first offer on the book. For this reason, I will always love July. :)

Congratulations!! Isn't that just the coolest feeling??

And I'm not sure about Erin's advice-- on the one hand, yes, I can see the wisdom.

On the other hand, it can be like it was for me where I wound up finding a bunch of stuff that some overeager copyeditor changed after I signed off on the galleys.

So I saw it for the first time in the finished book.

(It was all in the Spanish language, so this probably isn't something that happened to you... *g*)

Congrats again! I can't wait to get my copy at the Literacy Signing!

Oh no, how irritating! And I can totally see this happening. I did have two Italian words in Major Crush (don't ask, long story), and my copyeditor changed them. Turns out we were both wrong, but luckily I have an Italian critique partner who corrected us before press. ;)

I was going to get my copy of Adios at the Literacy Signing, too! What are we going to do, throw them across the room to each other? Something tells me the authors signing there are also the biggest buyers. :)
