At the Boardwalk update
- Feb. 22nd, 2012 at 4:11 PM
In just about a week's time, At the Boardwalk will be officially released and out in the world. (It's official release date is March 1st.)
I am very happy about this, as you might imagine.
I am happy, too, that my promotional postcard mailing appears to be yielding some results, and that some gift shops along the Jersey Shore are requesting copies and information and such.
And I am happy that people on Facebook are letting me know that they've preordered copies (and that they're evidently shipping this week), or are asking me where to buy them, or congratulating me on the excellent review in Kirkus.
What are you happy about today?

I'm also happy for sunshine, lattes and orange-cranberry scones. And walks in the woods with my best friend, Bella.
