Yupyup! Little ol' me got off her lazy, writer chair and - after thirteen years of writing - finally decided that I needed to publish a book. So...I self-published a book...took me a few months and much blood, sweat, and tears...okay...just aching, typing fingers, but it's the thought that counts. ;)

Anyways, all jokes aside. *puts on serious hat* I would like to officially announce that my Christian Fantasy book What Lies In The Dark is now published and available on Amazon, in soft cover. I am currently in the process of getting it in eBook form...I need to write a few PMs first, though.

As for the book; it is a 39,000 plus words, 134 page, Fantasy book that follows my three main characters - Gavin, Brian, and Emuna - on a journey into the uncharted terrotories. Of course, you all probably all ready know most if not all of the rest of the storyline, so I'll spare you the rant. ;) Unless you have any specific questions which you would like me to answer.

So that is my announcement, I hope you will look at it on Amazon! :D

Well done, Bethy! I am super proud of you. Is it out on Kindle yet?

I saw this when you first gave me the link. Congratulations! Nobody can refuse a little glitter, so here's a light dusting. *dumps glitter on copies of books* Okay, maybe not. . . quite a light dusting. . .

*points at Beth's profile* Look, Bethy! You are one of the Published Authors now. (Just like Sir Emeth. :shock: ) This will put an extra ten pounds of authority into every word you say. ;)

Oh, yes, I feel very Emethy now that you mention it. I wish to start using words such as "felicitations" and "exuberant"...been wondering why...now I know. ;)

Me? Authoritative in any form or level of the word? *stifles a laugh*
