There it is, guys. Spookygirl: Paranormal Investigator in hardcover, all polished and finished and ready to take on the world.
I'd been told the advance hardcover would be arriving this month. When I got a package from Penguin Young Readers Group the other day, I knew what had to be inside. I tore it open right in the middle of the post office parking lot and squealed out loud. (So what if people needed to park? They could wait a minute; I was having a MOMENT.)
I am so, so happy with the finished product, and so grateful to everyone who had a hand in prepping Spookygirl for launch. Just over a month to go!

This is really happening, isn't it? It's really happening.
Other quick updates: I recently launched the bare bones of an author website. I'm also on Twitter now -- @JillBaguchinsky.
I can't imagine the joy of seeing my name printed on the spine of a hardcover book.
ReplyDeleteThrilled for you.
Thank you! It made the whole experience feel even more real, although I still kind of expect to wake up at some point.
DeleteI always knew there would come a day
ReplyDeleteWhen, tall and proud, you would make your way
Smiling, with confidence, to take your place
As the victor in this convoluted race
I always knew you could outshine the rest
Stand on your own, you were always the best
And is there anyone who is more proud
Than this fading whisper, a face in the crowd?
I always knew there would come a day,
Smile, little sister, today is the day

Thank you, Sis! And fading? Hardly. I emailed you last week -- did you get it?
