I am so proud, my daughter Lorna launched her book at a signing last night at The Ally Theatre in Middleboro.
It's about her journey through thyroid cancer and is not only informative but funny!
If anyone would like to see her website it's
www.dirtybombshell.net
Thanks for letting a mother brag.
Merry Christmas to all!
Hugs,
Wanda

    How Exciting
    Brag, Brag, Brag!!! How exciting to have your daughter's work published. I'm looking forward to going to her website, but it will have to be after Christmas. Maybe, I'll take a sneak preview tonight. I am behind in getting ready for Christmas, so time is valuable.

    Lots of Hugs,
    Janelle

    As a mother you
    have every right to be proud and brag. That is certainly an accomplishment not many of us can say we did. I will check out her website for sure.

    Find an Agent
    Claudia,

    Go to Borders or Barnes & Noble. There are books listing agents for writers. An agent is sometimes more helpful in getting a book published.

    How proud you must be. I
    How proud you must be. I think that this is just wonderful. Informative and humorous is a great combination. I'm like Claudia, I have both poetry and a children's book that I have done but have no idea how to do this. Well, I probably could figure it out, mine is more I don't think it is good enough but I don't want to be told that because then I would stop writing. So for now, I am a world renowned unpublished, undiscovered artist. LOL
    But again, how exciting for your daughter to have done this.

    Thanks so much to all of
    Thanks so much to all of you! It was so nice to read what everyone wrote. Chen it is hard to get published so she self published through Author House. If you ever want any info just email her ( all her info is on her website and she'd be glad to give you pointers).

    Since I'm bragging LOL you can also check out her performing arts school...burtwoodschool.com

    Merry Christmas to all of my sisters and I love all of you!

    Wow! So proud of your daugter!!!
    Hugs, Kathi

    (BTW, who was her publisher, if you don't mind my asking? I have a few choices, and if you would recommend Author House (was it a good experience?), I'd appreciate it!)
