Tanya Is Published

Tanya Chapman, a dear friend of mine officially launched her first novel last night at Revival, a little venue on College Street. "King" has been in the works for years and I remember when she started working on it: That girl would not stop writing and rewriting. Tan is a force when she's determined.

After years of writing and more years of looking for a publisher, she finally found a buyer in Coah House Books, the people who brought us UTOpia last year. She's done an amazing job and I'm so proud of her. I have a copy here next to me... it's quite the thing to see the name of someone you care about printed across the face of a book.

Congratulations Tan. This is your victory. You earned it.
