When I first started writing, I never really believed I’d see a book with my name on it resting on a shelf in Barnes & Noble, but I fantasized about what it’d look like. It only took five years to see it come true, lol! And here it is, The Zodiac Collector, available at my local Barnes & Noble: After the initial shock wore off of seeing my book under the “New Teen Fantasy and Adventure” section (I kind of stood staring for a while, then I snapped a few pictures, then I stared some more, then I took more pictures–God, I wonder what people thought!), I snatched the copies off the shelf and autographed them. The store manager added The Zodiac Collector to the other autographed books they have at the Info Desk under Noteworthy Selections and invited me to schedule a book signing (which will likely be next year). She and another employee took my picture to commemorate the occasion. Super sweet, right? They totally made my day! I’ve got a TON of folks to thank for helping me realize this dream, from beta readers, other writers, family, friends, supportive co-workers, and, of course, my editor, publicist, and the team at Spencer Hill Press. MOST importantly, I send a huge
THANK YOU
to my readers. I hope you enjoy The Zodiac Collector. 🙂
Make sure you come back next week when I kick off a week long blog tour with Bewitching Book Tours for The Zodiac Collector!
So happy for you! Congratulations on such exciting news!
Congrats, Laura! I’m happy to have been a small part of your journey and I can’t wait to hold my own copy of The Zodiac Collector! I’ll have to see if Northshire is stocking it (I have a connection there – and I like to buy local when I can). And you’re next to The Last Apprentice! My oldest son would be very impressed. Congrats! Good luck! Hugs!
That would be awesome if it’s there! I’d love to do a signing at Northshire too!
Hooray, Laura! Congratulations! How very cool!
