Dear Peeps!
A simple “thanks” fails to scratch the surface, though I don't know what else to say. It’s been quite a ride these past few years, but Beware Madame la Guillotine is finally published and in the App Store!
Click here if you haven't seen it yet.
If it weren’t for you, Richard H, I might not even be in this place today.
I definitely wouldn’t be here without the help of Jim and Beth and Isabelle and Rachel. There will never be "thanks" enough for them, nor for my writer friends Tioka, Anne N, Michele H, Emma, Whitney, Orel, Dhonielle, and everyone else who read early drafts of Charlotte's story and coached me in honing it along the way.
I would be nowhere without the time, advice, loving patience and/or financial support of Lily and Kati, Bill and Steph, Ned, Charlie, Carey and Carrie, and all the many pilot testers (you know who you are!) of the print, live and app iterations. Thanks to all of you for helping steer me in the right direction.
And I could never have gotten this far without the professional expertise of my partners at SmartyShortz, namelos, Raab Associations and Hen & Ink Literary, nor without my Paris blogging community, Hen & Ink Coop and Moms With Apps friends who have contributed (and still plan to contribute) to the Beware Madame La Guillotine Blog Tour.
Creation doesn't happen in a vaccuum!
But what kept me going, what really kept me going, throughout the long process, with all its ups and downs, was the support and encouragement from all of the interested and interesting people, like you, many of whom I barely know -- if I know at all -- or at least don’t know in person, who stopped by here or on twitter or Facebook to say "cool project!".
I hereby raise a glass to all of you who believed (and continue to believe) and who encouraged (and continue to encourage) through your comments and good vibes and actions. Please don't stop!
Check out what we’ve accomplished so far:
School Library Journal's, Daryl Garbarek, Editor of Touch and Go: Guide to the Best Apps for Children and Teens, gives Beware Madame la Guillotine a rave review, asking: Drama of historical proportions, an awesome guide, and games and challenges, what more could a teen on vacation ask for?
Kirkus Reviews: The World's Toughest Book Critic recommends Beware Madame la Guillotine, calling it satisfying for both historian and eager tourist.
Moms With Apps describes Beware Madame la Guillotine as travel guide + history lesson + unforgettable protagonist + mobile platform = a whole new way to access travel information.
Al Vuona, host of The Public Eye, WICN, Worcester, MA, identifies Beware Madame la Guillotine as a marvelous new way to travel with vast potential and far-reaching implications.
Just today I received word that I'll be interviewed by Jordan Rich of WBZ-AM's The Jordan Rich Show on Sept 7. So stay tuned for that!
So whether you've...
...or some or all of the above:
Thank You for your generous support and for helping me to ensure that Beware Mme la Guillotine and Time Traveler Tours are a smashing success...for all.
It wouldn't be an adventure without such wonderful company!
Sarah
And now, to conclude Charlotte's story...
