FIRST OFFICIAL: Look at my book!
I’m going to be participating in an online auction to benefit a homeless family and I’ll be auctioning off an ARC (advanced reading copy) of In Over Her Head (a full four and a half months before it shows up in book stores). Today my copy arrived and thrilled just doesn’t begin to cover the emotions. For a writer to say the feeling is indescribable should give you some idea.

Wow, Judi. That’s so surreal, isn’t it? Big congrats, and I think it’s a great thing you’re doing with the auction.
It looks fantastic!
Oh happy day! Beautiful Judi, just beautiful. It is a marvelous feeling to finally hold the done deal in your hands. I know because I just got my book the other day too! I got photos taken today and will be adding them to my website tonight! yeah!! Sourcebooks does a fabulous job on covers, I have to say.
Thanks, ladies. Yes, Sharon – people have gone ga-ga over my cover. As I get particularly clever/innovative comments from readers, I’m adding them to my website.
Big congrats, Judi! I’m thrilled for you!

I am so excited for you! You must be lovingly holding it for hours at a time. I know I would. And again, the cover is fantastic.

Judi how beautiful to see it clasped in your little paws! Additionally, what a great idea for a benefit. Marking my calendar.
Congrats and I can’t wait to get a copy
You must be thrilled to death! I can’t wait to see the advanced copy.
Congratulations! I am so happy for you. This is really happening!
You have worked soooooo hard for this, and now it’s here. It’s like your first-born, non-human. It’s a paperbaby.
Pretty fancy looking celebratory headdress sticking up there.
I love the look on your face. I can only imagine your feelings. Your work for the homeless warms my heart. I do what I can here in Saint Louis. We have large homeless group of people here. Someday America, hopefully, will be the first Country without anyone who has no home. I am happy you are a part of that. Ellen B
