A package arrived in the mail yesterday that contained my new business cards.  I had been waiting for them to come in for a couple of weeks, but about five minutes after they arrived, I forgot all about them.  That's because another package arrived containing what is arguably the biggest milestone in the short twenty-eight years of my life so far. 

Behold:  The first copy of my first ever novel!  Needless to say, I'm ecstatic right now!  This has been a dream of mine since I was in kindergarten, and holding a copy of the book makes it so much more real than it's seemed over the past several months.  I've been waiting my whole life for this moment, and I'm so happy to be able to share it with all of you :)

I'll be spending the next week proofreading this copy before sending it back to the publisher, and then in about 2 weeks it'll be ready for release!  I can't wait!  Stay tuned for more updates and a giveaway or two :)  In the meantime, check out these first few pictures of "Murder At Castle Rock" in print!

Oh, and there's a picture of the business cards too.  :)
