Yesterday was an exciting day in my life as an author. My latest book, "Sowing Freedom, Reaping Joy" will be offered for sale in Frogmore Plantation's gift shop.
I had gone to Frogmore Plantation in November of 2018, and had mentioned to the owner that I had written a historical fiction novel set in Louisiana. She said that she would be interested in carrying it in the bookstore when it was published.
When the book was finally published in February, I ordered an author copy to send to Frogmore, and then it sat on my desk for six weeks, while I struggled with the fear of being rejected or ignored if I actually sent a copy.
I finally swallowed my fear and put the book in the mail. I kept tracking the package on USPS, so I know it was delivered on Monday. On Tuesday morning, I heard from the owner of Frogmore Plantation, and she will be offering my book for sale.
My first book in a store! And it almost didn't happen because I was afraid to try. I'm so glad I found the courage to put that book in the mail!
