About Me and My Book:
I live with my husband of over 26 years, 3 dogs, and a barn cat in a very rural area. Our children are grown and we have two lovely granddaughters. We taught Country/Western Dancing for many, many years before we moved here a little over 10 years ago. I have taught the 4 agreements as well as workshops on creating your heart's desire and The Celestine Prophecy.

My first book called Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies was officially published January 2, 2008, not because of anything I have done, but because Spirit gave it to me and gave me the means to get it published. I was led to write it. I was given the tools. And... I was even blessed with the money to make it happen without having to take it from our very limited income. No one can tell me there is no God. No one can tell me that he doesn't supply our needs. No one can tell me he doesn't answer prayer.

If you are interested in an autographed copy of my book the website to place an order is http://lifeislike.suesunshine.com. Non-signed copies are also available on Amazon.com. Here is what just one person has said about Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies:

"I received your book as a gift from a friend for Christmas and I enjoyed it tremendously. I got to the point where I was looking forward to one more chocolate chip cookie addition in the book. Isn't that so like life though? Just about the time we think that is all there is and bang we get a little more to chew on. LOL I loved this book as it was easy to read, yet said so much and it was done with love, laughter and much wisdom. Thank-you for sharing you gift with us all. Looking forward to more." ~Phyllis

Having been married to the same man for 26 years has given me a wealth of lessons on relationships. I worked with a psychologist friend who has literally pushed me into writing one of the many books inside of me. He has always said I have a story in me. In fact, more than one story. I quite agree.

Since joining this network I have learned so much and come a long way on my book journey. I want to thank each and every one here who has helped me personally. I also want to thank those of you who have posted great information for all of us to learn, to grow, and to publish. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!

I will still have questions. Hopefully soon I will be able to help and answer other people's questions. Wouldn't that be a great thing to be able to do?

Getting Comfortable with the Proof Copy

I am over my baby gone syndrome. It only took about two to three days. Then I received my proof copy. For some reason it really looks different in book form in my hand than it did in the pdf form.

After talking it over with my husband, I decided to pay for revisions so I could add the registered trademark sign to a name in my book. While adding this symbol I learned I had spelled that name wrong. Some of the words in the name needed to be capitalized. There were other thi…

Does it Always Feel This Way?

It is out of my hands. It's gone! I feel as though I have lost my best friend: a loved one. There is an emptiness, not only in my daily activities, but in my heart as well. A huge hole is left behind. There are many things to fill it. I don't know where to start. Nothing seems right.

My baby is gone! Two years of constant attention put into it. Two years of joy and frustration. It was always there, and now: nothing.

Update on Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies

I guess I need to update everyone on what is going on with my book, Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies. I should really put the whole story on a website, but for now I will just give you the update.

My company, Weaving Dreams Publishing (WDP), filed for the ISBN number and received it two days after applying for it. It was suppose to take two weeks. As a fellow author from this network stated, this book is pushing me out of the way to be published.

Publishing Logo Question

My husband is a terrific artist (for everyone else but me). He graduated from the Chicago School of Art back in the 1960's. I think that is the one he graduated from. Anyway, I have been trying for 2 years to get him to do the logo for my publishing company. I have drawings/doodles all over the house on pieces of paper that he has done, but none of them a logo.

My question is: Is it necessary to have a logo of the publishing company on or in the book or is just the company name and a…

Best of luck. I think you were smart to start your own company. More writers should take back that control. Best of luck. - Rita

Hi Susie Sunshine! We all could use a little sunshine on these boards. Not unlike most writers, I sometimes run low on confidence. Welcome!
