A shout-out to my fellow WWWPs - Tammy, Linda and Sioux (Sioux - we are going to have so much fun!) who will also be signing copies of the Chicken Soup books in which they are featured, and Lynn, who received a contract from the "50 Shades of Santa" anthology for her story! I am so proud to be a member of such an amazing, talented group of writers!!
But I digress... here's the press release. Hope to see you there!
