MY BIG SECRET! I Can't Believe It Myself! I'm An Author!!!!

Well, I am sorry to have kept you all 

IN THE DARK

for so long.

Just so you know- when I was
SICK THIS WINTER

I was NOT sitting around eating bon-bons

and watching old Columbo movies-

Well, I might have watched a few of those.

However, 

Before I could share this on my blog

I had to get all my ducks in a row~

before I made this announcement.

And WHAT IS IT?

Well,

I HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK!

A bonafide, honest-to-goodness 

PUBLISHED BOOK!

Ready?

TA-DAH!!!!

I did not even tell MyHero or my family

that I was doing this until I had a

PROOF COPY 

in hand.

They about fell over.

MyHero didn't fall over and die-

good thing because he has no life insurance.

Want to know what it's about?

Lucy was born and raised in Ridgebury, in the mountains of Pennsylvania; an area steeped in superstition. When Lucy was 6 she discovered she had the gift of “sight”-the ability to see the future of others but not her own. Her “sight” is somehow connected to the Deep Woods on the back of her farm and makes her an oddity to other children. When her father mysteriously disappears when Lucy is 9, she enters the Deep Woods looking for answers to questions she is too young to ask. As a young girl, she marries into a religious order and eventually moves to the Valley towns of Athens, Sayre and Waverly . As a young wife, she is terribly unhappy and her life takes many twists and turns- including one of forbidden love, betrayal and abandonment. Her quest for love takes her to Florida and the Midwest, but ultimately takes her home to the mountains to seek answers to age-old questions. It is a story that will touch your heart.

Yes-that is ME on the cover.

That is LUCY in the book.

There are a couple of you that knew

beforehand because I needed a bit of help 

along the way.

One friend has read it so she could 

promote it for me on her blog.

She had a less-than-perfect copy

because I only had a couple of proofs

and she got one.

My friend, Jettie Parrish, reviews books

for authors and she helped me navigate

the waters of publishing.

For that I am 

SO GRATEFUL.

Is it a GOOD book?

I dunno!

I THINK it is.

It is an "easy read"-much like

I write my blog.

I would call it a beach read-BUT-

there is no sex, violence, or bad language.

I don't want my grandkids to be embarrassed 

by it someday.

Although there is no sex 

there is fulfilling romance.

You can order it from Amazon for immediate delivery.

It is $14.95 plus shipping.

-OR-

You can order it from 

MY NEWLY SET UP 

ETSY SHOP-Diana Kosmoski Author

for the same price but I will pay shipping

AND I will autograph it for you-

It may take from one to two weeks

for it to arrive.

I can only ship to the 48 states 

through Etsy.

If you want an autographed 
hard copy/soft cover

from me and live outside the 

48 states let me know and 

I will see if we can accomplish that

via the local post office.

It should also be available

on Kindle very shortly.

I think the cost there 

will be $4 and some change.

edited to add:
Just got the notification from Kindle
Click HERE to purchase as an ebook.
It is $4.29

Whether or not I sell a single copy, 

I wanted to do this for my grandchildren.

Someday they can say their 

grandmother had a book published.

It is an oversized paperback and is

420 pages long with book club questions

at the end.

So---there you have it---

Now you know!

No more secrets here.....

Or are there?

That is one reason for the new picture in my profile.

My son insisted....the brat....

I looked younger in the "old" picture.

And so-

There you have it!!!

Can you believe it?

I still can't!
