How was your week? I hope it was great! Drum roll:  rat-a-tat-tat—my book is published!

I say with all seriousness, TGIF! 

“Blogging on Instagram”—both the eBook  & paperback —are now for sale on Amazon! I’ve compared writing this book to giving birth to a baby Asian elephant  (Asian elephants gestate 18-22 months, just like this book!) It took a lot of pushing to get this baby out into the world! ️

Wednesday I took a deep breath before uploading my files to Kindle Direct Publishing, Kobo & Ingraham Spark. I set up accounts on all three sites & followed precise directions for each to make sure I didn’t blow it. It was scary! 

My publisher, editor & #NDP team members were there to guide me. Luckily, I had a bullet-proof demo to show me the way. Four hours later (including a break for a cup of noodles) I’d triumphed. 

Guys, your comments  & interaction led to this book & many of you have been here from the start. I hoped to include a list of those who regularly engaged with my posts , but the proofing & verification proved too daunting. ❤️ My hope is to tag you in a series of IG stories to acknowledge you & show my appreciation. 

The top link in my bio leads to my book! The eBook has a promotional price of $1.99 USD until Sept. 25.  If you’re an active Amazon customer, you’ll be able to rate  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & review the book. ✍️ It would be SO awesome if you are able & willing to do that!

Backers of my Indiegogo campaign will receive their books in late Sept.  I’ll share the unboxing here! I haven’t yet received a physical copy myself! 

Have you gone through this publishing process?  Have you wanted to write a book? I’d love to hear about your experiences ️

Like Hunter & Grey, I plan to sleep a lot this weekend! Thank you again & happy #CaturdayEveryday!
