Hot Diggity Dog!

by Kaye Dacus

After weeks (okay, months) of checking Amazon occasionally to see if, perhaps, I might find something there with my name attached to it (and yes, my name comes up in the acknowledgments of J.M. Hochstetler’s One Holy Night—thanks, Joan!), tonight, I finally found what I was looking for . . .

STAND-IN GROOM IS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER ON AMAZON.COM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How exciting!!!! Mine’s pre-ordered.

    Yeah!!!! Congrats! I am so excited for you!!!!

    Hooray!

    I guess I assumed you’d be W/A Katherine (or Katherine Nell). Totally makes more sense for you to use Kaye (from my marketing perspective).

    I’d always thought I’d publish as Katherine Nell . . . but then I did all of my name building/branding as “Kaye”–it’s what I’ve always gone by on my blog and in all of my writing groups, so it’s the name folks recognize—plus a shorter name means it’ll be in bigger font-size on the book cover. ;-)

    Wooooo-hoooooo!!!!! We’re Snoopy-dancing for you in Bama!!! How incredibly exciting.

    Shorter name, bigger font. Darn, why didn’t I think of that?

    Congratulations! What a rush that must be to see your name on a book cover.

    Hey Kaye,
    Email me privately and I can give you the store contact for Borders to do a book signing in January. I told them about you and they said to have you contact them. My book club meets the second week in January but I already have Sigmund Brouwer scheduled to come then.

    That is amazing. I am going to go search it right now. You didn’t tell what you did when you found it. Was it just a quick scream? Or did it involve something more elaborate, such as a hairbrush and some Motown?

    Congratulations! Now you’ll need some five-star reviews :-)

    Congratulations Kaye!

    Funny, I realize that I pretty much cemented the use of my real name since that’s how I’m known in the blogosphere. I was considering a penname at one point but no one would know who I was.
