My Book is Ready!

Guess you know by now I love to write. Seems everyone in the Miller family loves to write and we all do our fair share. Every January I put on my New Year's resolutions to have something published by year's end. Have been doing this for quite a few years now and obviously have been lax in getting this accomplished Life happens. It happens a lot! Especially when you have as active a family as we have. And especially when the family keeps growing with spouses and babies! But finally I have fulfilled that long-time goal. Today I received the proof copy for my first published book and I am so excited. Several years ago I was inspired to write a lyrical poem for my oldest granddaughter, Autumn Grace. I gave it to her on her birthday and she called me immediately after receiving it and said, "Nana, you need to turn that into a book!".................well, I mulled that one over for months. Indeed, who best to determine what will make a good children's book than a child who loves the story? So I began looking for an illustrator who caught my vision for the whimsical story and who would be fun to work with. I found Rose Gauss in Pennsylvania through our son, Kevin and what a blessing it has been to work with her. We have spent a lot of hours "together" by phone and email but have yet to meet face-to-face. One day we will. In the meantime, Rose and I are excited about this new venture. The book is titled I Wanna Be ME and explains that not all girls want to wear pink and get dressed up in frills and lace! It validates a child's uniqueness and fits in well with all the other 48 Days products that promote the importance of knowing who you are and how you are gifted. So very soon Dan will have the book on our website and it will be available for purchase for Christmas gifts! I think you will like it. Everyone who has seen it in process has loved it and it has even been known to bring a tear to the eye! It is 47 pages long and retails for $12.99 but I am sure it will be $10 on the website and I will be happy to autograph each book! I Wanna Be ME is geared to ages 2-8 but I think just about any age will enjoy it! It is the first of a series and the second one is about half written. Keep looking for the release in the next two weeks. A special thanks to all my friends and family who encouraged me to see this through............you know who you are!
