Alright, I’ve been hella down in the dumps lately, like, nauseatingly so.
So, imagine how awesome it was to get an e-mail from Finishing Line Press today telling me that they’ll publish my chapbook La Petite Mort!!!! This is completely out-of-the blue too, because I had entered it in their New Women’s Voices contest, got the standard “Thanks, we’re going to publish this amazing writer, and you’re not her” note, and didn’t give it another thought. I guess they also choose to publish a select number of non-winners.
But I am dizzily happy, crazy amazed, and thrilled! Tomorrow I will worry about withdrawing it from the other contests I have it in. But tonight I’m going to bask in the knowledge that I finally have a real, live book to my name.

I am so, so, so, so happy for you! How exciting!
How long until I can buy one?
I will let you know as soon as I know!
Thank you for sharing in my happiness!
That’s exactly how they took mine last year!
It’s always darkest just before the dawn…HOORAY! I can’t wait to order one! My sincerest congratulations!
Thank you, Marie! I really appreciate it!
Wonderful! Yippee! Great news, JC. The sound of champagne bottles uncorking… crowds calling your name……

Always the master of understatement…
We little people are like that.
Wow, now you’re my pressmate, too!!! Congrats, JC. We’ll have to set up a reading for you with Poetry Atlanta in early 2010. 🙂
Thanks, Collin, that means a lot, coming from a Famous Author (TM) like you!
Well done, JC! Congratulations! Yay!
