Congrats, Sunny! *takes glass of juice* I'm seconding Sparky and asking for directions on how to see/buy it. Title, link, that sort of thing. ^_^
Also, just out of curiosity, you just finished editing, yet the book's coming out this or next week? I...thought the process was a bit slower than that. Huh. O.o
Well, congrats again! ^_^ *slurps rainbowberry juice*

It basically depends on how much editing that needs to be done. I didn't have much to do other then spelling/gramar errors in two or three places and a small rewrite in one of the chapters. I will post the link as soon as I recieve it! (Floats off on cloud nine)

* nods in agreement* Yeah, when my book came out, I spent an entire week editing it. Though, I wish the copy editors would have applied my corrections in Chapter 6... * eyeroll!* Typos still abound in there, despite my editing. - §parky

Ah, alrighty then, that makes sense! Though I'm still surprised it can get printed and shipped out within a week......then again, with today's technology, I guess I shouldn't be. *needs to get used to this whole technology thing. dear lord, I was born in the wrong generation...*
*sips some more rainbowberry juice*
Can't wait for you to post the link! (Or at least a picture of the cover or something, if it can't be bought online...wait, oh, right, technology is a huge part of our lives, of COURSE it'll be available online...)

It will be out everywhere soon! It could be out as early as this weekend! the cover picture is a picture of my cat, Licorice, taken during a romp out in the pet yard. I'll post it shorty. Sorry it is so big. by the way, I owe my cat my life. nearly a year ago, I went to bed one night with a slight cough, and woke two days later in the ICU of a local hospital. Licorice had gone next door to my neighbor's apartment and woke him up meowing loudly. my neighbor just so happens to be an EMT. apparently, I had stopped breathing. turned out, I had a severe case of Bronchitis that caused my lungs to fill with fluid which caused me to stop breathing. How my cat knew to go to my neighbor, I'll never know.

Aww, he (she?) 's so cute! And smart, apparently. Nice save, Licorice! (Had it been MY cats, they would've just gone to meow at the neighbors to feed them cuz their human wasn't getting up to do so. Provided they even found a way out of the house first...)
That'll make a nice book cover! Can't wait to see the real thing! Can I ask what the title is? And what it's about?

Licorice is a he. the tittle is Murder Hotel and it is a supernatural horror. A detective, Horatio Wilson, is called upon to solve a series of gruesome murders at a hotel. the only problem? the killer may not be human.

I met my editor through NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month), and he driected me to Createspace, which is basically a self puplishing website. My novel will appear in E-stores, and on Amazon.com. After finding Createspace, It came up on NANOWRIMO's website. The novel is 122 pages long, and already, I have people asking when is it going to come out? It will be out very soon.
