My book for and about young adults with cancer is due out any day now… I just don’t know which day! It’s both frustrating and exciting – I really would like to know when to expect the hard copy and yet once I have it in my hands, the anticipation will be over. Life’s like that…. I have seen the galleys and I of course had significant input into the cover (that I love and can’t wait to post but I have had some technical challenges with that). I am really proud of it and hope that it does well.
The publisher is excited about it too and they think that it has ‘cross over’ appeal – it is being advertised on the Publisher’s Weekly website for the month of December and presumably that will increase sales. I presented a scholarly synopsis of the work at a conference in October and it was well received by the audience, predominately nurses which leads me to… book #10 which is a text book on how to provide psychosocial care to young adults with cancer. I am in the data gathering phase of that – killing forests as I collect supporting papers – and filing them neatly in anticipation of the writing that was supposed to start this week…. just another form of waiting….
