Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I'm extremely excited!!! I've been toying with the idea of a book for years, since I was a kid really. For the last thirty years I've written down everything that's happened in my life. Although most of it was destroyed by one means or another, I'm one of those people who can "shelve" what I write in the back of my head until I need it again.
After much pushing, prodding, and encouragement from my husband Ron and ex-husband Edmond, I finally put together a collection of those thoughts, along with rants, some theology, lyrics, and poems into a compilation that I'm hoping to publish very soon! I'm doing the self-publishing thing because to get with a "real" publisher, you pretty much have to have an agent, which I don't, plus this way I can control a little more how things are done. I retain the rights to the book and photos I've used so if I decide to use a bigger publisher later on, it's up to me.
The book is called, "Coloring Chloe..." as I've used the name Chloe Z. Fox for years. When I asked my Mama what she would have named me had she been able to keep me, she said either Chloe or Zoe, so Chloe Z. Fox became my alter ego!
So anyway, that's what I'm all excited about!!!
