As of 10-30-2008, my book's cover was finished and available for my review.  I was surprised, but it is actually beautiful being that it wasn't expected!  Folks that have seen it thus far ask me whom is the female on the front of my book?  As I did ask my publishing company they said it was a mock picture, and that they didn't know whom she was either.  Giving them a general idea of what I wanted, it was to be a silouhette black woman meaning no face to be seen, but they had their own understanding of.  Luckily, it turned out to be well liked as it is beautiful, and the young lady is very pretty looking as if she has some things going on in her life!  As long as my picture is displayed on the back learning one of the fact, that the book and it's entirety, with no input from my publishing company, standing as verbatim belongs to me, I am most definitely good!  I have downloaded it  for free your review under my book! 
Now, this is the last and final round, as it has gone to the print department.  The very next time I see my book it will be in it's actual book, and I can't imagine being more "geeked" than what I am right now, but I can get to imagining.  The book will look even better up close and personal versus on computer.

Now, I hope that my book will within the next few days be available on Barnes and Noble's website so I can set up my first book signing.  If the Lord's willing, I would like for it to be November 21, 2008, the day after Thanksgiving!  If everything works out accordingly, I think this will be perfect timing as my book will just be realeased shortly before then, and people are already in the shopping mood!

I am just ecstatic about having my first signing, as I would like for my family, friends, and peers to enjoy the moment with me of my very first book to be succesfully published.  I will definitely let one know the details for the near future of DRAMA AT NO REST!

Thank you very, very much!
