A Surprise At My Door

And so, if the NHL Trade Deadline was a disappointment (see my last post) the day on the whole has turned out better than I could have ever expected.  First, I found myself being featured on a fellow writer’s blog:  kc dyer

If you haven’t read kc’s books, do yourself a favor and get out there and buy one.  Not only is she one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met, one of the kindest souls you could encounter, but she’s a damn fine writer to boot.  Her new novel A WALK THROUGH A WINDOW arrives today in bookstores. 

And then, much to my surprise, a courier arrives at my door bearing gifts.  A hard cover copy of my new book SWIM THE FLY along with a cute T-shirt (a gift from my brilliant editor, Kaylan Adair).  As a writer, I ought to be able to explain to you the thrill of seeing that hard cover book for the first time.  But I’m not going to even try.  It’s much too exciting to be able to put into words.  Suffice it to say, I’m beyond thrilled and I’ve got a giant smile on my face as I write this (okay, so I tried and didn’t even come close to getting it right).

Sorry if I don’t go on too long.  I’ve spend far too much time today checking hockey trades and fondling my brand new novel.  It’s back to the writing trenches and the next book.
