Great news for the Lundquist household

By 4 Comments

Can I get a drumroll please? I wanted to share some exciting non-real estate news for the Lundquist household this week. My wife Jenny’s third book hit the shelves on Tuesday!! It is a young adult fantasy novel called The Princess in the Opal Mask. Jenny is immensely talented and she works so very hard too. Would you join me in congratulating her? Also, if you’re local, I would love for you to come out to Barnes & Noble in Citrus Heights this Saturday October 26, 2013 to celebrate with us. We’ll be mingling and Jenny will be signing books from 1-3pm. We’re also doing a mask contest, so bring a masquerade style mask if you want (totally optional). You can get a book signed if you wish, but no pressure at all.

Here are a few pics to enjoy. I snapped the one on the top left on Tuesday at the bookstore. The others are mostly from a recent book trade show in San Francisco.

Thanks for letting me share this great news. I am extremely proud of my wife. I am constantly impressed with the way her creativity expresses itself and how she has followed her dream to write. The truth is dreams don’t get fulfilled by accident. They simply cannot come true without intention and tenacity, and Jenny is a perfect example of that. It is no small task to write a book – and definitely not easy to get traditionally published either. Congratulations Jenny!!

You can check out Jenny’s website or Amazon for more information about the book.

The launching of my wife’s book

Seeing Cinderella CoverI wanted to share some really exciting family news today. My wife’s first book, Seeing Cinderella, will be hitting the shelves in just a few weeks. She wrote a young reader novel about a 7th grade girl who discovers magic glasses that can read people’s thoughts. It’s such a fun read.

We are having a book launch party at Barnes & Noble in Citrus Heights and you are invited to come celebrate with us. If you’re not doing anything on March 31, 2012 from 1-3pm, come on by to hang out for a couple hours and get a book signed if you wish. Barnes & Noble is located at 6111 Sunrise Blvd in Citrus Heights.

This is really exciting family news that we’ve been anticipating for quite a while as my wife signed a contract for this book well over a year ago. Her second book is also in contract with Aladdin Mix (an imprint of Simon & Schuster) and that’ll get published in the Spring of 2013. It’s no small task to write a book, and it’s a huge accomplishment to get published. I’m very proud of my wife Jenny and I wanted to share the joy with you.

You can check out my wife’s website, Facebook page or her book on Amazon. Thanks for sharing in the great news with me!!

My wife wrote a book

I am so proud to announce that my wife has signed a deal to have her book Seeing Cinderella published by Aladdin M!X. I just wanted to share this great news with you because this is a huge cause for celebration in the Lundquist household right now. Gary Vaynerchuk talks about “crushing it” and living out your passion. Well, my wife is a good example of that, and I am inspired. In her own words:

For the last five years I’ve been writing fiction whenever I could squeeze the time in—before the kids woke up, nap time, while I was waiting for the chicken to roast, when I should have been cleaning the house (which, sadly, gives you a pretty good idea of my housecleaning abilities). I am happy to announce that I have accepted an offer from Aladdin M!X (an imprint of Simon and Schuster) to publish my middle grade novel, Seeing Cinderella, in the spring of 2012.
