Rejoice! It's been a secret goal of mine to write a book. After I launched The Frugalista Files, a lot of my readers asked me about writing one. Writing a book proposal can be a daunting thing. I'm used to writing short articles, not PAGES of copy. Alas, I got the book proposal done in between blog posts and I am so lucky to have a home for my book: Harlequin!
It's a perfect fit: Harlequin is girly, fun and thriving in this economy! Also, Harelquin has a hot new nonfiction section, too! :) I'm looking forward to sharing the uncut version of my life, behind the blog with you. Managing finances and fabulousity is no small feat! :)
Thank you for believing in me, reading me, linking me and encouraging me!
What's your favorite book?
That's awesome, congrats!
How much is going to retail for? :P

Big congratulations! That is fabulous news. You can count me in for a couple of copies (myself plus a few gifts for friends).
I recently made an exception to the Compact for any book written by someone I know.
I hope the bubbly is flowing! Cheers!
