Big Day

Yesterday was a big day for me.  It marked the release of Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades of Grey and my debut as a published essayist.  I am so honored to be a part of this project and to be included with such a fantastic group of writers.  

It is a pretty proud moment to see your name on the cover of a book for the first time.

Did you find me?  Did you find me?

I'm doing a signing at Fairport Library on Dec 1st and will have copies available for sale.  Here's more on that:

Margaret Cleary-Osborne: Rush Hour Recipes of America. Authentic home cooking, these recipes feature minimal measuring/peeling, one bowl /pan, and usually only one step. Jennifer Sanzo: Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades of Grey. The author of the blog "Flower City Fashionista" teamed up with Heather Graham, Sylvia Day and others to continue the conversation in so many book clubs about E. L. James' Fifty Shades series. Bill Self: Customer 3D: a New Dimension for Customers. The author provides a system to help business people improve customer service. At the same time, he makes consumers aware of the service they should demand. Elaine Webster: Dawn Dancing.

It's all a little surreal.  Above all I feel so proud and so blessed, and I'll be happy to autograph your copy.  ;) 

Happy Thanksgiving!

And think of gifting Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades of Grey this holiday season.  It's the gift that keeps on giving ;)
