The Dog Lived (and So Will I) memoir book cover
This has been an exciting week! No…wait….that deserves more. This has been an exciting week!!!!!!! Okay, there. You can now feel the excitement, right?
My memoir, conveniently titled “The Dog Lived (and So Will I)” was included in the “BEA Buzz Books: Excerpts from Thirty Top Fall 2012 Titles.” Others on the list include Barbara Kingsolver, Jasper Fforde, Neil Young (he too has a memoir out in the fall…what a copycat!), and Junot Diaz. And then, of course, me. Ha! (Which one of these things is not like the other??).
Then my wonderful publisher put up a page on their website highlighting some of their fall list and their BEA (Book Expo America–think “Fashion Week” but for books!) author signing schedule…and there I am again! And the book! And, and, and….if you click through and click on my book cover (surely by now you will recognize it…what with Seamus staring back at you) you can read the first three chapters. So go on, scoot… READ AN EXCERPT. It’s right there. Just CLICK. I’d love to hear what you think…well, if it’s good. Not sure I’m up to any bad reviews yet (especially, you know, on my own blog.)
Happy Dance!! (Seamus is doing it too, but that might just be because there is food nearby.)
Teresa, the book is amazing! I knew it would be great, i’d read the blogs, and I’ve already heard most of the story…but the story-telling, the actual chapters I read? AMAZING! I can’t wait to read the whole book even though I already know how it ends. I’m impressed, my friend, very impressed.
Thank you! Yes, I realize we all know how it ends (since I had to live to write about it and well, the dog lives…we know that from the title) but I think there are enough surprises in it to keep you reading. Thanks for checking it ou!
