It is hard to believe that the first email came from my publisher on February 10th of this year.
And now, I am holding my book in my hands. It is such a weird and humbling concept.
And, the best news is that it wasn't scheduled to be ready to ship until November 2nd, but it is already shipping! I had party hats and balloons ready for the 2nd, but we will just have to celebrate a little bit early.
Initially, it will be available online (details below) and then it will start showing up in some stores. I know the stores they are trying to work with and fingers crossed it comes through as we are hoping. Turns out that side of things is a process.
It is very strange to see my name on the cover and the binding of a book. I wish they still had card catalogs so I could see how it would look classified with the Dewey Decimal system.
If you are at all intimidated with the idea of doing metal crafts, do not be. There are all types of projects in here. Most only require a drill, some just require a willingness to get your hands dirty and a few need a couple of power tools. I tried to size and plan everything out that cutting metal was at an absolute minimum.
Here is a little more information...

When we get to the 2nd, I will do a giveaway and have some fun with this. It is so not a comfortable thing for me to say, hey look at me, I wrote a book. So, we may as well try and have some fun with it.
Oh, and if you do read it and want to share it on social media the book or even better, a project from it that you do, tag it with #galvanizedismyfavoritecolor so we can all follow along!
