Thank-You Mom

5pm and 83 degrees.
It has been quite a roller coaster ride these last few days.
Those of you who subscribe to Publishers Marketplace will see the deal shortly.
I am thrilled.
I am beyond thrilled.
My book has been bought by Putnam with an option on my second.
I love my agent.
I love my new editor.
In a few months this blog will be moved to my web site and you all (hopefully) will continue to read about my adventures.
The photo above is of my 25 year old horse Airborne and my mother.
She died in April - Mom would have been so excited to know that her daughter was going to be published.
When I called my father this morning and told him - he was moved beyond words.
This means the world to him.
This means the world to me.
And you?
All of you out there?
I have one thing to say.
If it can happen to me.
It can happen to you.
And that's the truth.
