I have Stupid Cupid ARCs!!!

I was tickled pink to come home today and find a padded envelope waiting for me in front of my door!! It contained two ARCs of my novel, Stupid Cupid. Unfortunately, they aren't able to send me more, since the rest of the ARCs are going to sales, marketing, reviewers, etc. (but that's okay, 'cause I want this bad boy to SELL SELL SELL!)--but hopefully, the pictures will tide everyone over for a while. See, it's really real! :D


So, of course, I took the opportunity to snap a few shots to share with you guys.


Here are the books, fresh out of the package. My son told me I had to put chocolate around them. haha




I had my kids pick up the novel, flip to a random page, and pretend to be riveted by what they were reading. Ooooh look--mom's a literary genius! And super humorous, to boot:




And here's a shot of the first page--I love the linework heart around the chapters:




Thanks for sharing in my excitement! I'm so thrilled...I nearly kissed them, but I figured it probably wasn't a good idea to first-base my own novel. Oh well. haha

Thanks so much, everyone! I think it's pretty safe to say I'm absurdly excited, and I've already shown, like, everyone I've run into today. haha

My daughter hasn't read it yet, but she's excited to! :D
