OHHH, PEOPLE, IT’S HAPPENING!
The book is out TODAY!
Everyone said it would be like giving creative birth.
This one has come with whip lash!
I sometimes wish my life wasn’t so darn dramatic. Other people seem to live their dreams gently and accomplish their goals with grace and ease. And with a laugh and a smile. And a full night’s sleep.
Me? Not so much!
Yes, I have been wanting to be an author since I was 8. I had moved schools and was struggling academically (and socially, and in every other way a kid can struggle.) My 4th grade teacher saw me floundering and introduced me to poetry. And I fell in love. I wrote several poems and illustrated them. I felt good about myself, maybe for the first time in my life. She created a cardboard cover and sewed the pages into it with needle and thread. From that moment on, I wanted to write a book.
A year ago, just after I’d gotten over the flu, an offer came in, to write a book for a major publisher. It did, however, come with a catch. I had to write it in 6 weeks. I immediately said yes! Two weeks passed without a single word on a single page. I was paralyzed with fear and self doubt. Then I did what I have done many times in the past when faced with a challenge. I jumped off the high dive into the deep end of the pool. I just started. And a month and 38,445 words later, right on time, the book was written and submitted.
And all the edits and changes along the way have been the same. Very. Short. Deadlines! And I’ve accomplished every single one.
That’s why I say this process has given me whiplash!
I don’t know why it had to be this way but it did indeed have to be this way. Maybe the Universe in all its wisdom knew any chance to balk, to delay, to question myself would have thrown me off completely.
I am incredibly excited. And utterly terrified. This process has taught me so much and yet what’s to come is unknown.
If you’re a praying person, hold me and this book in prayer. Know that it’s helping people the way I so want it to.
If you’re shaking, sway away,
Kris
I NEED YOUR HELP
TRULY!
I am asking for some grass roots support, especially TODAY.
Please help me get this book into the peoples’ hands who truly need it.
Here’s a few ways you can help:
1. Spread the word by email and on social media. Send a link. Share the book trailer, below. Take a picture with the book and post it. Let people know: This. Stuff. Works. And be sure to tell them about the sweet bonuses, available to all purchasers from now until May 15th. (Details below.)
2. Buy a copy for a friend or teen in your life. This book is designed for beginners and one of my teen clients gave it 2 thumbs up. (And trust me, if he didn’t like it, he would tell me. LOL) It’s written very conversationally, with easy step by step instructions. Help get this into the hands of people who don’t know about these practices.
3. Read it and write a sincere review on Amazon AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If Amazon sees a number of reviews, it will boost the book’s visibility. Mention what you think could be valuable to a potential buyer. And if you do this, please email me and let me know!
4. Consider reading it with a group. Your family, a few friends, your social network. If you do, I’d be happy to make an online appearance to give instruction and answer questions, no charge.
5. Ask your local bookstore or library to order it.
Please know this will mean so much to me and I thank you in advance!
