Hand Me Down on Good Morning Texas!

Good Morning Texas

So, Hand Me Down made her TV debut last week on Good Morning Texas. Sometimes I’m still so in awe that I even HAVE a book out there, you know? This was one of those moments. I was so proud seeing her up there with those other books, in a real live TV studio, with the book-savvy Gwen Reyes of Fresh Fiction talking about how great she is. “Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult,” she said. Why, thank you.

I was happy it was my book up there representing us on our first TV appearance, looking all cool, calm, and collected, instead of me, who would have been sweaty and nervous. My book baby is still so pretty. I suppose all new mothers think that, right? She’s almost six months old. Can you believe it?

Anyway, check out this segment of Buy the Book on Good Morning Texas. Hand Me Down gets mentioned around minute 2:47, but the other books sound interesting, too. I’ve added several of them to my TBR list.

Hand Me Down Will Be on TV Tomorrow!

Hand Me Down is going to make her TV debut tomorrow morning on Good Morning Texas! Hand Me Down was chosen by Gwen Reyes as part of Fresh Fiction’s Buy the Book segment, and will be highlighted with several other books on television! TV!  I’m so glad my beautiful, composed book will be my first TV appearance and I don’t have to stress about how I look and sound and come across, or what might come out of my mouth, or the million other ways I could embarrass myself. My book, she’s a pro, and always looks classy. I’m not even nervous!

In fact, after watching some of the previous segments of Buy the Book, I’m so excited to see what Gwen has to say about Hand Me Down. I’m especially honored because tomorrow’s theme is Heroes: “What is a hero? It can be anything from a sister taking care of her sibling, a single mom struggling to raise a family, to a uniformed officer. Today we’re exploring heroes in fiction with something for everyone.”

You notice that “sister taking care of her sibling” line? Yeah, that’s a reference to my book.

If you’re in Texas, tune in tomorrow morning at 9 am central, WFAA channel 8. Those of us not in Texas will have to wait until the show’s producers upload the video to their website. I will post when it’s live. I hope you’ll come back and join me in celebrating my baby’s first TV appearance.

Cross your fingers there are more to come.
