I have been holding some really important secret news close to my heart since mid-February. It's been KILLING me to not be able to share with you! Because you guys know, I share everything! But today I got permission to announce it....
I'm writing a book!
(Two books, actually!)
I have signed a contract with Lark Publishing to write two books. The first will be part of the amazing Master Class series on beaded ropes. I couldn't be more honored to be included in this series of books by designers like Diane Fitzgerald, Laura McCabe, Marcia DeCoster, Sherry Serafini, Rachel Nelson-Smith, Maggie Meister, Sabine Lippert...and me!
It will be released in the fall of 2012.
And then I go right back to work! Because I'll have a second book focused on advanced herringbone coming out 12-18 months later.
Way back, as far as when I was 8 years old, I said I was going to be an author one day. And now I will be. Dreams do come true!
Congratulations!!!
