I then carefully open the cover and start to read, praying I didn't miss something really important when I made my last corrections.<br /><br />It's so exciting and I can't wait to get my copy. I'm going out this evening to get it. I don't want to order, it will take too long. LOL<br />Congrats!Sean D.

I am really feeling the readers. Looks like Novel Spaces has changed its layout as well. Nice.<br /><br />If I can ever get published, I imagine the first thing I will do is smile and nod at the fact that my story is told.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904024507867487521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-23660771033797541162010-07-22T09:47:04.864-04:002010-07-22T09:47:04.864-04:00Oh how beautiful.

I can't wait to get it and read it. <br /><br />When I get author copies for a new book, I take one and read it cover to cover, checking for errors and picking out parts that would work if I got up the never to do a public reading. LOL. And that is probably the last time I read the novel cover to cover ever again. I also send out a bunch of review copies.Gwyneth Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241149490843015170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-73687882541367786502010-07-18T17:54:53.586-04:002010-07-18T17:54:53.586-04:00Just plain cool!Just plain cool!Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-4268554310536472802010-07-18T16:39:23.309-04:002010-07-18T16:39:23.309-04:00Yes, I remember.

I kept it as my desktop background for simply ages, and I'm keeping that picture forever! Then there was the little matter of transcribing the RT review for me...<br /><br />Thanks again, Phyllis.

So I'm always afraid they'll be a hundred page 20's or something. <br /><br />I also remember my 'first' sighting of both of your books. Liane, I first saw yours in B&N.

I looked at the box, thought "nice, now what do I do with them?" I was still in a daze and had no idea what was expected of a published author.<br /><br />My daughter was more excited, and jumped about with joy. Since then, everytime she goes into a bookstore (or the library), she drags me to the romance section to see if my book is there.Jewel Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813773386476356666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-57220083717807103082010-07-18T13:40:14.405-04:002010-07-18T13:40:14.405-04:00Woot woot, Phyllis!

I take a copy out and hold it in my hands, and take photos of that too. I call my sister and my son and the friends who 'get it' to share the good news, then that first copy gets pride of place on my bedhead bookshelf. <br /><br />I'm too jazzed at that point to look through and check anything. That comes later, when I get past the just-lying-in-bed-and-staring-at-it-on-the-shelf phase.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.com
