Forgive the frizzy hair--it was a long day with many side trips into the rain. Also forgive the early-90s look of a t-shirt layered over long underwear. It was just that sort of a day. And forgive the glazed expression. It was probably close to midnight when we took that picture.My first copy of the book arrived in the mail yesterday. So I guess this is really really real.
Also note that the publication date has moved up on Amazon. It's now May 1st. You know, just in case you were waiting to get your copy of the most scintillating read about infertility, adoption, and loss ever written. And I will be posting a tour/reading schedule once I know it because I want to meet all of you and this seems like the best chance.
A proper thank you to everyone who helped me with this by providing their story coming soon. But a pre-thank you before the formal thank you. I could not have done this without all of you.

What a wonderful feeling -- congratulations Mel! The women who will benefit from this are so very lucky -- of course, we are all able to take advantage of the electronic form -- I have said it before and will say it again -- I would have never stayed sane in this last few years had it not been for Stirrup Queens...

I just went through my first m/c after over a year of TTC and your blog has always comforted me at low moments.
I'm glad for your success.

Still, I NEED A COPY! Covet! Covet! Covet!
And congratulations, how wonderful.
I have nominated you for a Sisterhood Award! Details on my blog!
Awesome! Mine's pre-ordered. A friend who reads my blog asked me about the link to it on my sidebar. She was interested in reading it so she could understand what her friends struggling with IF are dealing with and so she wouldn't say the wrong thing!
just wanted you to know I finally pre-ordered my copy. and I expect it to be personally signed at your first nor-cal book signing. soooo, when is that going to be?
so. excited. for. you.
now, what is this smut of which you speak?
Oh now that is exciting!!
