Topic: Sharing an Ego Boo

Hi, All -
It has been a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG time since I posted anything here on TNBW.  But for those of you who remember me, I just had to share an ego boo:  my sci fi novel HOME WORLD (think the version I work shopped here is still up here, somewhere...) is NOW ON THE SHELVES AT BARNES & NOBLE!   Not just published, but physically ON THE SHELVES!  Think picking up my own book off a B & N bookstore is the closest i'll ever come to holding my first-born in my hand.  Now I just have to make sure it doesn't become an only child!
Hugs to all of you who kept my spirits up in some dark times!
Bonnie Milani

Re: Sharing an Ego Boo

Way cool! So proud for you.  I wish I'd worked on your book but at the time I was a bit intimidated. Having just joined and the book nearly finished. I'll be on the lookout for your book tomorrow when I go to my monthly meeting with SCBWI. And I'll brag you up a little to my friends.

Write On!

Blessed art thou, Mrs. Piddles!  Only... do brag Home World up a LOT?  Now we've got the book ON the shelves, I've got to make sure it flies OFF the shelves!
Hugs, and many thanks for the kind words!
Bonnie

I just realized I never answered Janet's request.  Home World is out at Amazon, Nook, Kindle, AND carried by the Indigo / Chapters bookstore chain in Canada.  Amazon link, where you can do the sneak peak preview is here:

I've got a couple of great full-cinematic trailers I'll try to post later, too.
Hugs

Oh!  I'm an idiot (you already knew that, didn't you?)  BUT...the publisher is running a promo this week!  At least I think it's this week...  To get a discount on the trade paperback, follow this link & enter the promo code SpringSale when (if) you place an order:
