Im getting published!!!!!

I didn't think I would hear back so soon after my last exciting news last week.  But the publisher that requested my full manuscript last week has now offered to publish me!  I only have basic details of the contract and must wait for the full contract to review and accept but if it looks good then I will be a published author!!  The publisher is called Meryton Press.  They are a small publisher with links to bigger ones and so they have access to big named stores like Barnes and Noble and Amazon but can still access smaller brick and mortar book stores.  Many of their books (and authors, of course) have received awards.  Their website is merytonpress.com.

If I sound aloof and disenchanted, I assure you, I am not.  I am simply stunned.  Never did I think I would reach this point.  It is no small accomplishment, and yet I feel super humble to think that my little fun diversion of a book is good enough for publication.  I wrote the first chapter on a whim.  I wrote the rest of the book as a fun aside for myself and my friends.  I submitted it to a few publishers with a "what the heck" attitude.  I received responses with disbelief and now... I sit wondering how this all happened in a few short months since April when I started writing it.  I say it again, I am stunned.  Happily stunned, however.  YAY!
