I just realized that I have not posted an image of the book.
How remiss of me!
I’ll remedy that right now.

I have the next week off from work.
You might wonder what plans I have for the extra time. Will I be sipping tea, reflecting on the wonders of our universe and the state of our economy?
Not likely!
I still have books 2 and 3 to prep for publication. There is a lot of hard work ahead of me, but luckily I’ve never been afraid of hard work.
Wouldn’t it be nice, to sit back during this week and just write. Writing is relaxing to me, and such a joy.
But I guess if I really want others to be able to read what I write, I have go the next step. I have to make it presentable!
I will be so happy when I have all three of the trilogy out. I feel like I’ve made a contract with anyone who reads the first book, a binding promise that I won’t take too awfully long to make the second and third available.

I’ve always been a writer. I can remember that as a child I would write poetry for anyone who would be kind enough to read it. I particularly liked to make birthday cards, because then I knew I had an audience who would read and (I hoped) enjoy what I had to offer.
The plans of my childhood were to make writing my career, and I decided it was time to act on that plan shortly after my marriage 23 years ago.
That is, of course, until I was blessed with the birth of my first child. At that point, my world shifted and there was nothing, absolutely nothing, more important than my family. Writing could wait.
I did a search on Amazon today, and I couldn’t believe that I actually found my book! It is available ahead of schedule, which suits me just fine.
You can find it at:
Behold the Eye: Braumaru on Amazon
Take a look!
The book was published by Sun Break Publishing.
I received my second proof today, and I feel like Goldilocks…it’s just right!
It was a joy to press the button that gave my okay. Behold the Eye: Braumaru has now officially gone to press.
The word is that it should be available on Amazon.com as soon as two weeks.
It’s such an odd sensation.
I hit “Publish” for my last post, and immediately the doorbell rang. It was my proof!
It is such a wonderful feeling to hold my own creation in my hands for the first time. In some ways the experience is quite like giving birth.
In both cases, there is wonderment that the time has finally arrived.
There is the joy of finally seeing what had before only been imagined.
And when emotions are finally calmed, there is the realization that in reality, the work was only beginning!
Because just as a child needs nourishment, guidance, and love, so does a book.
If I want my book to grow big and strong, I need to let people know it is out there!
I received an email telling me that the proof copy of Braumaru is on the way!
I’ll have it in my hands any day now, and if all is well, it will soon be available for everyone!
I can’t wait to see it in print. I especially can’t wait to see if my daughter’s illustrations look as good as I think they will.
Actually, this is only the beginning of the blog. The beginning of the book goes back to 2003 when I finally decided I had waited long enough to begin it, and the story itself, well, it has roots in my childhood.
