It’s official, for the time being, Simon Pulse is stuck with me!!!! I’ve signed my contract. Wanna see?
Because a watched pot never boils, I actually got my contract while I was on vacation. In addition to a little bit of difficulty printing it out at the hotel, I just figured it would be mean to take a picture of me signing the contract here…
The only thing worse than that (for you) would be if I was sipping on a chocolate shake while signing. I’m just not that mean. So I waited until I was back in NY. In fact, I’ll even make you feel better by showing you this…
*sigh* Of course, it’s only the tip of my post-vacation iceberg. But I don’t care because I can check this off my bucket list.
And if that wasn’t enough awesome for one vacation–I got the proofs from my author photo shoot. My friend, the very talented Dawn Sela, has made me blush with her kind words and beautiful photography. Dawn Sela Photography This is just a smattering of the amazing photographs she took. I don’t know how I’m going to pick a favorite.
Vacation is over but I’m still in a very happy place. *grin* It’s the perfect week to send the boys to camp–off to finish my revisions!!!!

Congratulations, Kim!! The signed contract really makes it "real" now, doesn't it? Another awesome milestone on your publishing journey! I love the pic of you signing the contract – you look so thrilled! So proud of you! ((hugs))
And Dawn Sela's photos of you are wonderful; she's so talented – she's really captured your vibrant personality & beautiful smile. For what it's worth, I love the one you're using as your FB profile pic, & the black & white one at the end of the link you posted here!
Glad that you had a great vacation, but also so glad to hear that you had more great things waiting for you when you got back home! (well… aside from the laundry, lol!) 🙂
