It’s here! It’s really here!

On Monday I received my first proof copy of Stealing the Ruby Slippers. I was pretty excited about it. You may have seen the Facebook Post about it (thanks for the love everyone!) As I started looking at it, though, there were a lot of little things I wanted to change. I went back and forth and back and forth and decided the delay was worth getting it just right. So, I stayed up until almost 1:00am on Monday night (Tuesday morning for all of you sticklers out there) adjusting my files, re-uploaded them, and ordered a new proof yesterday morning.

I got the new proof this morning and I. AM. IN. LOVE.

You probably can’t tell from comparing the picture above with the one I posted on Facebook, but I reduced the trim size just slightly and changed the interior font size and page color. The tweaks were little. But they made a huge difference. I am so happy.

I just ordered my copies. They’re supposed to be here on Monday, May 12, so everyone who preordered will have their very own, autographed copies mailed on Tuesday, May 13.

There is still time if you’d like to preorder an autographed copy at the discounted price of $10 (including shipping!). Click here.  Once the book is live on Amazon (I think that’ll be around the 13th also, but it could be as late as the 20th,) or my extra stock is sold out, if that happens sooner, the price will go up to $15 plus shipping. If you’re a digital reader, you can also preorder your copy for $7 and I’ll mail you an autographed book-cover card.

Thanks so much for all of the positive feedback I’m already getting. Your encouragement means a lot. I appreciate it! Now, I am going to celebrate with a “Roman Holiday” (lemon coffee—sounds weird, tastes AMAZING) and a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. Wish you were here 🙂
