“Book Launch”

My book launch was an enormous success! Several people have approached me with apologies for missing out during the hours of the book launch, but I want you all to know that books are still available in Soque Artworks on the square in Clarkesville, GA. I will also be setting up book signings in the near future on Saturdays at that location. I will advertise these dates and times so that people who missed out on the book launch can still purchase signed copies.

If you don’t want to wait for a signed copy, you may purchase a book at any time on my website: samanthabuice.com (here). You can preview the books on my “Books” page before purchase. If you buy a book online and want it signed, email me and I will make that happen.

I urge you to subscribe to my blog: The Chronicles of Jane. I publish an article every week and if you subscribe, the article will be emailed to you.

I want to thank all of the people who attended my book launch for their support of my journey, and the journey of countless others facing challenges like these. Hard covers are selling fast and there are only a handful left. If you want one, hurry over to the art gallery!

Thank you all for reading my words. I have always wanted to be an author and illustrator. On career day in elementary school, I didn’t know how to dress up like an author and illustrator. I wore a dress and carried a bag with a notebook, book and pencils inside. I even wore shoes. Oh, how wrong I was about attire! I wear my pajamas to work. Not everyone grows up to build a career out of their childhood dreams. I never knew I could really make that happen. My life has taken many twists and turns which brought me here. I feel cursed with a blessing. This is my purpose, without a doubt. I have said this before, but it’s worth repeating: in the eighth grade, when asked what I wished for my future, I replied, “I want to write something people want to read.” I can only hope I have succeeded and that my words and artwork will continue to further my efforts toward positive change.
