Finally doing an Acknowledgement Page!!!

And it is not even remotely easy to do!!

I knew this day was coming. It's been over 6 months since I signed my contract for A Bitch Named Karma. And I knew I would soon need to write up my words of thanks to all the people in my life who have made this dream a reality. I worked it out in my head several times as to what I would say, who I would say it to, and try very hard not to sound like a babbling sap. Well, the time is now and for as much as I tried to prepare myself for this, it still was very hard.

Dedication was easy...I kept that short and sweet.

But the Acknowledgment Page...that was tough. Some of the people were easy to thank- my husband, my kids, my editor. My son won't be able to read his for a few years yet, but when he can, I hope he'll get a kick out of it. My daughter will probably love it! So those few were easy...but then there were more I felt I needed to thank. I wouldn't be anywhere if the owners of Lyrical Press hasn't taken a chance on me. And my writers group....they've been my cheerleaders for the past 3 years. And my girlfriends...my faithful fans!! Had to thank them too!

So hopefully I did an okay job at this Acknowledgment Page thing.

Next up is my Bio Page for the book. They want soemthing different than what my bio says on the Lyrical website. I've got it started but I just don't know what else to say!
