Would you do it again? I think it is very brave and must require a while new bank of creativity even after birthing a novel. WOW. I agree... blue books are magnetic, Why is that? You 100% made the perfect choice in cover art, though any of those cool drawings would have fleshed out beautifully. Your end product is just the right amount of kitsch, which is what your novel offers. Love it all so much, and I love you too. Please keep writing. xoxoMarie at the Lazy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499662322233018616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-8269275700889848202014-07-27T21:46:44.602-04:002014-07-27T21:46:44.602-04:00Well, you know I just loved the book.

I think my copy comes tomorrow -- at least I hope it does, so that I can bring it on my trip to the east coast on Sunday. I just can't wait. And thanks for telling us a bit about the process of self-publishing -- you are brave and hip to do it, as well as smart. Now here's my most important sentence: How can I help you to sell this book beyond the usual Facebook, blog thing? Seriously. How? Can you come out here and do a reading?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-56075836337844753162014-07-25T23:59:35.753-04:002014-07-25T23:59:35.753-04:00Glad you like the Isidore sketch.

He did a great job capturing the haphazard road kill fun of the novel.<br /><br />My blemished ego aside, I am beaming with pride that you persevered and saw that Angel Food was born. You are an Artist. And that, as your Grandfather once told me, takes guts. <br />So I would say little missy, just as your Grandfather's favorite actor, John Wayne, would say, "You've got True Grit!"<br />Love, Dad<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-23594370600994474522014-07-25T19:04:31.628-04:002014-07-25T19:04:31.628-04:00Super-stoked to read this.
