3. Yes. It’s obvious you are very serious over there.

4. Very cool (and “booklike”)! I’m looking forward to reading it. :>)

5. So pretty!!!!! I’m totally looking forward to this!

6. Oooh, it’s really pretty!!

7. Whee! They look gorgeous! I don’t blame you at all for being distracted by the title page.

8. Beautiful!

9. It looks so elegant!

10. Oh boy! It is soooooo beautiful!

    Yay!

11. I agree with Cynthia — very elegant.
    How do you find the time to teach and parent and write and travel? I am just so in awe of you and Cindy and all you other authors. My job alone overwhelms me.

12. The cover page is lovely – I can’t wait to get my own copy of Gianna Z!

13. The leave are wonderful–and the title looks wonderful in print.

14. Thanks, Linda! I know you’ve been through this many times before; it’s still all new to me, though!

15. Thanks, Kelly~ I kept flipping the pages, looking at the leaves, too.

16. Yep. This is me. “Pretty leaves! Oooh!!!….(reads two more pages)….Oh! Leaves at the beginning of this chapter, too! Yay!! (reads another page) I’m getting there, though!

17. Thanks! It does look like pages of a real live book now, which is what struck me first when I opened the envelope. It’s starting to feel so real!

18. Thank you! I am, too!!

19. Thanks, Lisa! I loved seeing the pages all laid out.

20. Thanks, Deva! (Now to find out what the cover will look like!)

21. Thank you, Jenny!

22. Thanks, Cindy! I immediately had to figure out what kind of leaf that was on the title page – I think it’s a box elder.

23. Thanks, Jo! Like you with JUMPING OFF SWINGS, I’m still waiting to see the cover!

24. Thank you!

    To answer your question about time and balance, my writing lives in my brain all day long, but it’s after the kids go to bed at night that I sit down and devote two or three hours to actually putting words into the computer. I feel overwhelmed sometimes, too, but I wouldn’t feel whole if I didn’t find time to write.

25. Thanks, Liza!!

26. Thank you! I’m excited to see what the cover looks like soon (maybe even next week!)

27. Love the leaves! I can’t wait to read this book 🙂

28. Lovely title page! The leaves do add a special magic to the page. Can’t wait to read it! 😀

29. Every sale is a wonderful new experience.

    And I have yet to have a hardback book come out — that will be a first for me and something huge to celebrate.

    Enjoy all the fabulous first experiences!

30. I love little extras like that. It’s a sign that they care.

31. Isn’t it an interesting experience, Kate? It’s sort of the first time you see your book like an actual book! I just finished second passes for Bug Boy. I found some interesting slipups so stay VIGILANT!

32. I noticed those gorgeous little leaves immediately. Lovely.

33. Pretty! I like the title font too!

34. It’s BEAUTIFUL!!! Can’t wait to get my hands on it! Or should I say, my *eyes* on it . . .
