The Book What I Wrote
You know how I sometimes mention that I wrote a book for ALA Editions?
Well here it is:
Should anyone ask, I’m going to claim that the girl beneath the tree is me. Me with long flowing locks and a dress of some sort.
On sale in late March. More details about it to come.

Congratulations, Betsy!! I love the cover (though I think that might actually be me under the tree). Except wait….where’s my glass of wine and box of chocolate?
Oh WOW! Girl, you’ve got good cover karma! (Or should that be ‘kover karma’?) Seriously, from the color to the layout to the lettering to the title, I am in serious book-love! With a cover and a title like that, I cannot WAIT to buy it and get at what’s inside.
Gorgeous! Congratulations!
cool! can’t wait to get it, even though i’m probably going to get laid off from my library position.
Oh, look at you – a book already! Very nice!
Woo Hooo! Way to geaux!
Way cool, Betsy! Looking forward to seeing it.
I don’t think it’s me in the picture, because I would be perched up in the tree (though possibly with some of Kate’s wine and chocolate, if I could manage it).
Congratulations, Betsy! How exciting!
Looks great! Congratulations Betsy!
Congrats, Betsy! Beautiful cover art and I can’t wait to read it. (I didn’t know ALA editions did lovely covers like that! Way to go!)
Fantastic!
Congratulations! The cover is very pretty!!
How wonderful!
Yay! Can’t wait to see this. Always helpful for writers to see how librarians think.
Glad you all like the cover. Kiera: A lot has changed at Editions. Check us out sometime.
