Waiting to Publish Gold Earrings

So I'm in the waiting time. I signed a contract to publish Gold Earrings with Tate Publishing. The book is scheduled to enter production in November (a little over a week away!).

Friends have asked me a zillion well-intentioned questions. Unfortunately many of my answers have been "I don't know".

1. When will your book be out? (In the next 6 months, I think.)
2. Can I get it on ebook? (Yes, I think so.)
3. How can you remember all that stuff to write a novel? (Sometimes I have to re-read it to remember key plot or character elements)
4. Where did you get your ideas for a book? (Gold Earrings was a short story that I wrote for a high school composition class that I expanded one summer in the middle of grad school.)
5. How do you know what to write? (Well, I write what the characters say and do in my head. It's somewhat like writing down the elements of a movie as you watch it.)
6. How can you write that much? (Good question!)

So anyway, I find myself in "publishing purgatory" waiting for the next big step! Keep praying and watching for my Christian historical romance novel, Gold Earrings, to arrive at http://www.amazon.com/ and http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ .

In the meantime I am marketing my second novel, A Time to Choose, a Civil War Christian historical romance to the mainline publishers. I'm still writing for www.AssociatedContent.com and www.Suite101.com .

Gold Earrings starts publication production in November at Tate Publishing. I'm also presenting "PaperFolding 101" session at the National Middle School Association Conference the first week in November. Sounds like a wild November!
