Good morning and Happy Anniversary to Women Like Us, because today is one year since Pub Day!

Here’s a look back at me holding the book for the very first time. I still pick it up, leaf through it and find it amazing that it actually exists.

A lot happened around this little book in the past year. Here are a few of my favorite things.

It made it into the top 100 of its top sub-genre on Amazon (still pushing to get it into the top 10, though). 

Some nice folks did interviews with me about the book. Here’s a couple, in case ya missed them.

Also, the book made The Malibu Times!! This may not seem like a big deal, but we lived in Malibu for a short while, and First Point Malibu is still a favorite surf spot, so it just makes me smile. Here it is--

We’ve given away many signed copies on Goodreads (a favorite thing to do...in fact one is going on now so go over to Goodreads so check it out) and given some away to our nearby free Local Libraries too.

The push to the thousand mark in print and ebook sales is getting slowly closer. That was always a sort of goal on this book but, you know, if we go well into the thousands that’s good too. Don’t stop spreading the word, people! Sales happen when marketing happens but reviews are still so vitally important. If you’ve read and not reviewed, please leave a few words on Amazon (remember I still donate 10% of my royalties to the Beagle Freedom Project so helping with sales helps free more beagles). Remember you don’t have to say anything more than "Great book" (or "Crappy Book" works but we prefer great). Here’s the Amazon link--

Meanwhile, the biggest recent news is that an audio version of the book is in production right now!! It’s being narrated by a wonderful voiceover actor, Yolande Clark. I’ve heard the first 15 minutes and it’s amazing. The audible version should be available around September. Stay tuned.

Finally, just to demonstrate how it’s not all sunshine and daffodils, in doing some research for this post I came across this really not nice review on some blog...ouch!!

You gotta take the good with the bad, huh? 

Thanks all for the support. Seriously.  And Happy One Year Since Pub Day Women Like Us!
