You&#8217;re a mile from Gramma&#8217;s house and you can&#8217;t wait to get there? Or the flight attendants are securing the cabin for landing and you&#8217;re on your dream vacation? Or you&#8217;re closing on that house you&#8217;ve always wanted and the movers are coming? Or you&#8217;re ten months pregnant and you&#8217;re waiting for that first labor pain so you can actually hold that sweet baby in your arms? There&#8217;s much angst and excitement and nervousness in the anticipation of these events.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;ve been waiting a long time for this &#8216;baby&#8217; to arrive. It&#8217;s not a visit or a trip or a move or a real baby, but to writers we often refer to our books as our babies because we tend them with such care and devotion as a mother tends to her baby. And so, my baby is ALMOST here! Just a few weeks until August 1st when it officially releases! And just like packing for a trip or moving or preparing for the arrival of a baby, there is much to do. </p>
<p>Today, I&#8217;ve posted an excerpt on my website! I hope you&#8217;ll take a look. This is not the usual first chapter of the book. But I hope you will enjoy it. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a different excerpt on my e-newsletter. So here ya go:</p>

<p>Just go to the book page on my website (www.leannaellis.com) and click on Plain Fear: Forsaken. You&#8217;ll see the button to click on the left in red.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ONCE IN A BLUE MOON</p>
<p>Chapter One</p>
<p>Here lies Obit writer Bryn<br />She should have stayed home<br />Instead of jumping in.</p>
<p>It’s the story of my life. I often jump before looking, much less thinking. But there it is. My life is an obituary-in-the-making. Scary, huh? It keeps things in perspective. But it’s not just me. I see others as potential obits, too. Professional hazard, I suppose.</p>
<p>That’s the beginning of Once in a Blue Moon. The rest of chapter one can be found here:</p>
<p>https://leannaellis.com/onceinabluemoon.html</p>
<p>Once in a Blue Moon releases on March 1st! It is already available for pre-order here:</p>
<p>http://www.amazon.com/Once-Blue-Moon-Leanna-Ellis/dp/0805449884/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_4</p>
