Celebrate the Small Things, News, and Champion in the Darkness Blog Tour




Champion in the Darkness Blog Tour Stop with Laura Josephsen today!



We're supposed to be celebrating small things, but this has been another huge week for me.
1. My book, Champion in the Darkness, is out in ebook format! (Paperback is coming soon)

2. Awesome people helped spread the word about my book in big and small ways. Friends, family members, blog buddies, homeschool co-op friends, and even random acquaintances congratulated me throughout the day. My homeschool co-op group sent out a mass e-mail about my book. Bloggers posted and tweeted. My family took my out to dinner and gave me balloons and flowers. It was amazing, and I felt overwhelmed by all the amazing support! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

3. A local book club chose my book as their March book! Wow! I found out while standing in line at Costco.

4. I started my blog tour, and it's been fun. Today I'm at Laura Josephsen's blog discussing How a Rejection Letter Started a Novel. Come check it out!

NEWS This is what I know, there's probably more.
Cover RevealCover reveal for Sheri Fink's new book, the Little Firefly

 Christine Raines' book The Dragonslayer is out, and she's touring. Look for her around the blogsphere!

I think it's great that you only have 'big' things to celebrate :)

If only we all had that 'problem' :D

Congrats!

Tyrean I am soooo excited for you! You have done well!
Your book chosen by a local book club... awesome news!

I've heard so much about Open Minds - thanks for the heads up - just downloaded it now!

Tyrean Martinson said...

Mark - It's kind of amazing. I did a year of celebrating blessings, and there were days that I had a tough time coming up with more than 1 or 2 and they were tiny, and these last few weeks, I just feel hugely blessed and full of stuff to celebrate!

M Pax - I didn't know that. That's cool!

Nancy - Thanks! Big Hugs!

Michelle - Thank you! And You're welcome.
