You never know who's reading your blog!
Last week, I received some exciting news from Miriam at Hachette Book Group USA. She informed me that a quote from my post on Against Medical Advice was going to be published in The New York Times! I just picked up today's paper and there it is . . . my quote -- right in the middle white space in the full-page, color ad. Talk about exciting!
The ad below is a mock-up of what was going to be printed in the newspaper. My URL address is incorrect in this mock-up, but not in the newspaper. Bermudaonion from Bermudaonion's Weblog was quoted, too!
The New York Times
Correction:ThoughtsofJoyblog.blogspot.com
* A special thanks to Miriam for sending me the book and for whatever else you did behind the scenes. I'm very grateful, Miriam! And, thank you Bermudaonion for helping me with the image. I appreciate it. :)

ReplyDeleteMary ~ I think I will frame it. :) I was only able to get 1 copy, so if it gets messed up I'll be sad. I was told that people still wanting election news bought them all out.
Bonnie ~ I know - how crazy is that?!? Who would have thought. Getting it put on the book jacket would be unbelievable.
Vickie ~ LOL
J. Kaye ~ Yeah it's way cool - right place/right time! No skill involved.
Raidergirl3 ~ Thank you so much. I STILL am having problems with it. I think I'm going to print one out and scan it in as a new image. UGH!
Trish ~ I think it's WAY COOL. I was doing a happy dance. Still am! :) As for what we write - it does matter, but if I had not told the truth about the book - this honor wouldn't mean as much. But, this opens up a whole can of worms, so I'll stop there. :)
Charley ~ Thanks!
Dar ~ Well, I don't know how famous I am (or if I want to be), but I do think it's awesome. Thank you.
