Well, would you look at what the UPS truck just brought: advance copies of “the book”! At long last, The Insider’s Guide to Living Kidney Donation is a reality!
Here are a few interesting book-related stats for you trivia buffs (most of them not the kind of stats that WordPress will show in a widget):
Number of pages: 258
Months in production: 5
Months from date Betsy and I sent manuscript to copy editor until bound books: 7 months
Elapsed time from conception to bound books: 83 months (yup, you read that right: 6 years, 11 months)
Number of drafts: I haven’t a clue but probably upwards of 10
Meetings with Betsy: hundreds
Number of large notebooks filled with handwritten meeting notes: 2.5
Number of sleepless nights: far too many to count
Feeling of holding it in our hands at last: priceless
You can pre-order the paperback or Kindle version on Amazon or purchase now here.
Brava, ragazza!!! Saw your latest blog post and, literally within minutes, ordered the book for us from BookBaby. Having it shipped to us here in Maine. We’ll read it while we sleep under a quilt, and you can sign it next time we see you..Molto amore e complimenti, F&J
The picture looks really good! Jane
