Joss Burnell That Crowing Crone Has Done It

| 17 Comments

My friend has created a wonderful book.  How do I know it is wonderful? Why because I assisted in my own little way so I have had a preview of what is to come.  Joss doesn’t have a ‘press this’ button so I have endevoured to copy and paste it her announcement of the coming work.  Some of us talk about doing….Joss does it!

Find her at crowingcrone.wordpress.com

Now for the attempted copy..

 

..I can hardly stand it!  The final editing of my book is done. The cover is ready and I’m just bursting with pride and excitement.  All that’s left is the hours of work to upload it to the self publishing software.  They make it sound so easy but it is time consuming for sure. But that’s okay.

 

A huge thank you to Chris King over at Bridges Burning for her wondrous editing work.  Chris was oh so patient, oh so gracious, and oh so paid attention to detail.  I am thrilled with the end product.

Also must thank my friend, photographer John T. Fowler for allowing me to use his image on the cover.  Isn’t it just beautiful?

And last, but definitely not least, thank you to my BFF Christine for reading the manuscript all in one go – she who hates to read at the computer!  Christine, your support and love, as you know, mean the world to me.

So, there it is folks.  I can’t wait to hold the first real copy in my hands.

It's been an interesting time adjusting to 'retirement' after a long career in nursing. Forty odd years actually and the challenge has been to try and figure out who I am. It seems that for the largest part of my life I have defined myself as a nurse. More so than a mother, wife etc - you know all those tags we hang on ourselves and for what reason? I am still learning, still searching, and still evolving I guess. At first it all seemed a little confusing, trying to sort out the what and the who and the like. Now it has become a great adventure. I have so many wonderful models that I have met here on Wordpress. It is amazing how close you can feel to those who brave the pages each day or week or month to share a little of themselves.

  1. I am off to congratulate Joss but you need to be congratulated for the help you have given her too!

  2. Hi Chris,

    Wow. When I write a book, I would love, if you could edit it. It will take few years, but will definitely write one.

    Cheers!!!

  3. Beautiful cover and congrats to your friend. :-) TY for your patience as I have been adjusting to a changed schedule in my life … Glad to comment again. :-)

  4. There’s no stopping success. Great support, Chris and a big congrats to Joss!

  5. A good tip from Kathryn because I asked myself the same question,
    I believe you helped Joss with the book Chris so you must be excited too! Well done!
    I shared Joss’ post on FB by the way.

  6. Good to know you`re an editor Chris- among your many talents!

  7. I’m happy to have the announcement. However, I’m not sure what the book is about–fibromyalgia? It might be helpful to include a brief description of the content for dumbies like me. Fibro is also a building material–even a tag line might clarify. Or maybe everyone knows “fibro” is an abbreviation of “fibromyalgia”–but I’m only guessing that is the case.

    Thanks for the announcement, Chris. I love cover art!

    Kathy
