It's a done deal!

The cover may be deliberately muted, I don't know, but this is the way it looks on the website. In any case, I received confirmation yesterday that my story has been selected for this book. I am so excited and so is the mister, because of course, his name is in here.

One midnight, years ago when I was tucked in sound asleep, he woke me to excitedly to tell me to get up and look at the computer, because I had received an acceptance on a story I had written about HIM, titled Goofy Willy.

Willy was a dog I had 40 years ago. Talk about popping his bubble! This one should make up for it.

    Congrats - again, Linda. You are a wonder. We had a cat named Sam and now we have a grandson named Sam. I've written about both. Hey, we all do it. =0)

    Congrats! So, Your hubby thought he was the subject of your story years ago? Did he read it before coming to that conclusion? Or .... are their personalities similar?

    Congrats on more Soup! My husband had the audacity to assume my ghost story was about HIM!

    A published author! Congratulations.
    I see on your sidebar there are many Chicken Soup books. I always thought there was just one, Chicken Soup for the soul. which I have never read.

    Lisa Ricard Claro asked how many is it now...

    Well, the answer is 147. Good grief, you are the little engine that never stops.

    Congratulations, Linda. You and Hope Clark and me, among probably a few other blogging friends.

    Goofy Willy. If it was about Bill, the adjective would have been a bit more colorful...
