Well, if you are related to me, know me on facebook, or happen to have been within five miles of me in the last week, you've heard my big news: I'm going to have a book of poetry. My publisher is Wordtech Communications, and the book is coming out March 2015.

This is huge huge huge news. I've been trying to get a book published for basically twenty years. I put the first version of this manuscript together around then and have been sending it out, tinkering, sending it out, doing major revision, sending it out, trying to find any contests that I have not sent it out to, sending it out, hiring a book doctor and doing another major revision, sending it out, and finally, my book After I Stop Lying will be published.

I'm having trouble even concentrating on next steps like figuring out the cover or getting blurbed or where to throw the big party. Yeah, let's just think about the big party.
