Smile HotHolly's Book! - 03-26-2011, 02:57 PM


Hey guys! Some of you know that I wrote a book for kicks about 6 months ago.

I wanted to say thank you to the TPF peeps that encouraged me with my book and fanned my facebook page when I was friendless. ha ha. Now there are over 30K fans and the book is in the pre order phase! (If you want to see the hoopla 1st hand, come visit!: Demon Kissed | Facebook).

Here is the cover. I thought you guys would get a kick outa the cover shot - the traditional wedding ring shot, but slightly evil. Add in over-processing and you have a young adult book cover!

Some of you know that I have other portraits that I took for this book. Can't wait to take more! This is fun!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

cool and to think we all knew you when you just ran a simple wedding dress shop and photography studio out in the sticks, now you are a famous writer.

Congrats!

Started my own first novel back on January 9 of 2010, in the style of a Clancy/Cussler military/technology thriller. I also started school again about 8 days later, so time for writing/research was hard to come by. I maybe put down 500 words between the end of August and end of finals in December.

Chapter 20 was put to bed last night. Total length to date, 82,304 words. 41 more chapters to go!

Again, great achievement to get your first novel in print!

---------------------------
Thank you, that is all.

Wow Holly, that is soooo fantastic! I'd have a hard time sleeping at night with all those exciting things going on in my life.
