Me, My Editor and My Book (and Book Signing at PDC Monday, Oct 27 from 12-12:30. 20% off)

I just got the first two copies hot of the press, a phrase I’ve never used in its original context before. Below is a picture of my editor Melissa von Tschudi-Sutton and me with the very first two copies in the last day of sunlight in Seattle. Yes, I look completely exhausted. This is what writing a book from proposal to publication in 3 months does to you. =) By PDC, I should be back to my full energy level.

I plan to raffle one of the books off at the WomenBuild pre-conference event at PDC. For those of you attending PDC, I will be at the store doing a book signing on Monday at lunchtime (12-12:30). Also, I’ll be at the CodePlex booth the entire week if you want me to sign the book there.

I wish you a big success ! If the book is as useful as the tips you're publishing here (and there's no doubt it is), every developer will have to buy a copy...

Congratulations Sarah! That's a milestone I wouldn't mind hitting one day. I'll be sure to look for a copy in my bookstore.

Congratulations.  I've been reading the tips online for some time, and I know the amount of work you've put in on this topic.  I'm sure it was work the work, and will be a great resource for developers.

Thanks.
