I can now officially change my profile. I am a published author!! My book A Year with the Potters: The Adventures and Lessons of a Homeschooling Family is now available in paperback!!! (Edit: It's now available in Kindle too!) :D

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Year-Potters-Adve ... 480277789/

Kindle Version: http://www.amazon.com/A-Year-Potters-eb ... he+Potters

I'm so happy, excited, thrilled... :dieshappy:

And since I never could write a logline for this book, (I know, I know... I'm terrible - but this book is simply impossible!!), here's the synopsis for those who want to know what the book is about. :D

In April they met new friends, in August they got a kitten, October they learned about Martin Luther, November brought a pet Black Widow, and January gave them a Biblical lesson in perseverance. What else is in store for the Potter family? For Amanda, Jackie, Emmy, Grace, and their parents, there's no such thing as an ordinary month! Not only that, they are always pulling their friends into their adventures too. Why is there a kitten creeping through shards of glass? What is he after? And why is there a jar hiding in the kitchen cupboard - with a spider living in it?

We had a pet orb-weaver once! It lived on the bay window and caught a bee... Oh the menageries of homeschooling. :D

Thank you! I'm still so thrilled, though thankfully for my family, I'm stopped talking about it once an hour now. :rofl:

I hope so, Jonathan! I have another book getting close to the finish line - and I can't stop talking about it the last two days either! :D
