It’s in [finally], and just one week after my deadline! I sent Editor Julia at HarperCollins 58,339 words in total with my take on kicking ass in the kitchen. (My book should be roughly somewhere around 40K words to keep in line with HGGH.) I’m sure Julia and I will work it down to just the right length, or maybe I’ll end up with a 350-400-page book?!

In any case I have a favor to ask of you, please continue to purchase HGGH for friends and family through whatever outlets fit your lifestyle, Amazon, Indiebound and their recs of local shops near you, or from me directly. I’m so close to actually earning royalties from all the work involved in promoting this book in the two years since publication (the advance covered only the writing of the book). Every single purchase counts!

Whatever your choice, please take a few moments to write an Amazon review, which will help me continue to build audience from people who stumble upon my book (and aren’t already in the fold). I’m excited to share with you some of the projects in the works surrounding the launch of Hip Girl’s Guide to the Kitchen. Stay tuned and thank you, as always, for being a part of my community!
