Karen Michael was SO nice, she made my first interview almost relaxing. That’s saying a lot, since I’d worked myself up into a nervous snit. Here’s the article she wrote! [But brace yourself. the picture is LARGE.]

Hey cousin Kelsey! So amazed and impressed that you have published a novel. You are a true inspiration. I have been working on a memoir for three years and always have some pathetic excuse why I cannot finish it. Usually my excuse is time and my child. Here you go and do it with a family of 4 kids, one a toddler.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Kelsey,
I remember when you first started your blog. I was impressed that you were taking the initiative to write a novel and very impressed you were looking to publish it. Because of this, I was inspired to write my own children’s book. I really felt like, hey-if she can, why can’t I sort of thing. So I did. It went to print yesterday and I am excited! Comparably, a children’s book can’t compare in my mind to a complex story of a novel, however it was something I had always wanted to do and finally did. I just wanted to share with you, that you were one of the reasons I felt I could do it.
So thank you. Great interview and picture too!
I haven’t purchased your book yet, but I will around Christmas time!
Best wishes
