"Cassandra -- great news! Mazel tov! (Can you tell us what book, and/or who's publishing it and when?) If you want to hear any thoughts on things to look for in the publishing contract, say so -- otherwise, I won't go on that tangent."

Hello Karen!

Thanks for joining my group Blooming Late!

I appreciate that you are already poking arounf the site and participating!

I went to your blog on your profile, you have a unique style! And I like the book cover with the two fetuses inside the planet better but if it doesnt show up as good on thumbnail that has to be taken into consideration first I would think.

This group has a wonderful bunch of women who will serve as a great source for support. encouragement and inspiration for your writing.

The resources dicussion section might be a good place to help you out in tightening up your profile and even more info on what way to publish.

Also please list your blog in OUR GROUPS BLOGS in the pages section to the left on the groups main page. When your book is available for purchase please list it in the OUR GROUPS BOOKS as well.

SO glad you are here and WELCOME to my group!

I just opened the door to the novelist group for you - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!
