I learned recently (when they sent me the advanced review) that the San Francisco Review has given Schooled a 4 out of 5 stars.

It's an interesting thing, selling a book. Especially when you 1) have never sold one before and 2) are a relative nobody. Actually, there's nothing relative about it. To anyone but my friends and family (who have for the most part already bought copies), I am a nobody.

This happens to me every year. I become exponentially more sentimental than I already am. I cry at such things as the Glee season finale.

"There is one day even the most cynical New York woman dreams of all her life," Carrie Bradshaw narrates in a classic SATC episode.

I'm happy to report that Schooled is officially buy-able! I've included the links just below the cover picture on the right, but you can find the book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and CreateSpace. I'm still working on getting it up on iTunes, so stay tuned on that one.

I was barely 21 when I graduated from college, and one of my first tasks after graduation (other than finding a job) was to update my personal history (aka journals) with everything I hadn't had time to pen down during those years.

March 14, 2012: The day the proof copy arrived from the printer. It's a pretty amazing feeling to finally see your book in print.
