Book Publication Process Begun

I have was given the task of writing In the Presence of Angels in the year 2001. I started writing on 01/15/03, developing and completing a final draft by 03/04. That draft was rejected, but I was encouraged to continue on. Life and its problems interfered with the process for the next two years. I picked up the project as well as an editor, and I began a re-write on 01/15/06. Now it is done. All I have to do is give my permission for my publishing house to begin the printing process. Hallelujah!

However, giving the book to the publisher feels a little like giving up a baby for adoption. I want to hold on to it just a bit longer before my work of four years goes public. I also feel somewhat vulnerable. Since my book is autobiographical, I feel like I'm about to place myself alone in the middle of a busy intersection with no traffic lights to help me get back to the side of the road. Nevertheless, my path is clear, my purpose is pure, and the book is GOOD.

Read it and find out for yourselves...
