The Lotus Princess is in Print!

After the layout and cover were finalized, Bethany and Rebecca signed a contract saying that they were finished making changes (any further changes would cost extra money).  Word Alive then sent out the first ever physical copy of The Lotus Princess, the "Author Copy."  It arrived the day after (Canadian) Thanksgiving, and were we ever excited!  It looked a bit different in print than on screen, and it felt a bit surreal to actually have a physical book in our hands.  However, it was perfect -- time to start printing more!  Rebecca took a bit of time to decide how many copies to order, and then we gave the okay and printing started for the copies we will sell and distribution started for other bookstores.  Amazon was the first to have Bethany's book available online, and shortly after that the 300 copies Rebecca ordered arrived!  Rebecca started planning a Launch Party and designing promotional material (a Launch Party poster and a bookmark), and now The Lotus Princess is available for everyone!

Thanks to Bethany's Uncle Brad for a great tip on the design of the poster!

The kids at Bethany's elementary school were so excited to each receive a bookmark!
