WOOHOO!! MY NOVEL COMES OUT IN THREE DAYS!!
Hi everybody--
What a way to start a blog!! My new novel, IN WILDERNESS, thirty-five years in the making (more or less) GOES ON SALE ON MONDAY!!
That's THIS MONDAY, MARCH 2, 2015.
I started writing this book back in 1980, after I reacted to an antibiotic and was so sick I could hardly hold my head up. I thought I was so surely dying that my husband, Bill, asked me what single thing I wanted to do most before the dreaded event. I said I'd like to write a novel and he said get busy. And the rest--I haven't got a lot of time today, my dinner's almost ready--as they say, is history.
It's a good book. I'm obscenely proud of it. Really cool writers like Lee Child, Christina Baker Kline, Ron Rash, William Landay, Joshilyn Jackson, Carla Buckley, Vicki Lane, Frank Huyler,Joseph Monninger and Terry Kay said nice things about it. VERY nice things. So did LIBRARY JOURNAL and BOOKLIST.
I'll get to all that in the coming days. Right now I've got to learn my way around Goodreads. Also Library Thing (can I mention that here?) I'm on a mountain north of Atlanta right now, roosting here until I speak Monday evening at the Decatur Public Library in Decatur, which use to be its own town but is now part of Atlanta more or less. I used to live there.
Anyway, I'll sort all this out in the next few days. This first post is just to say HELLO!!! I'M HERE!!! MY BOOK COMES OUT ON TUESDAY!!! YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE FROM BOTH OF US.
'Til next time,
Diane
