My Baby

The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to
write a book about it. Benjamin Disraeli (1804 – 1881)

This week I got a mock-up copy of the first book in Jackfruit Press’s new series, Sir John A. MacDonald - The rascal who built Canada, written by Jackfruit Press founder and publisher Jacqueline A. Brown, as well as a copy of their promotional catalogue which shows the cover of my first book, John G. Diefenbaker - The finger waggling chief. And even though my book will not be out until sometime this summer, seeing the mock-up cover somehow made it all feel real.

It’s a bit like being pregnant. You know that if everything goes well, in a few months, you’ll be able to hold your new baby and brag about them to all who will listen. But you also feel a bit apprehensive and don’t want to get too excited, just in case something happens and it doesn’t work out the way you dreamt it would. Oh, the life of a writer!

Have a good week and Write On
