(aka – Angela, where have you been!?)
I’ve been neck deep in a new book. But not an ebook this time. A print book that’s coming out in December 2012 which means rush, rush, rush to get those 432 pages of homesteading goodness out the door to the editor!
Backyard Farming on an Acre (More or Less) will be published by Alpha Books – the same publishing imprint that handles all of the Complete Idiot’s Guides. This book is not in that series though – it will be part of a line about increasing self-sufficiency and living free. I’m so blessed to be able to share the journey that began on Untrained Housewife two years ago with a much wider audience now!
It’s also become a fun social experiment. The facebook fanpage has over a hundred people engaged already – I post pictures and share tidbits and gain encouragement from the people who are there. I also just created an email newsletter for Backyard Farming, for those who prefer a little more personal and old-fashioned.
So, I’m burning the candle at both ends to get the first 50% of the book ready to turn in by March 26th. The second half is due a month after that so that’s insanely quick but totally worth it. I don’t think I’ll make it without you guys helping me out and supporting me. I appreciate you all so much!
*waves* There you are!! :o)

Thank you, Melitsa! It’s been interesting getting feedback from people along the way. I questioned including medical herbs and then someone on the facebook page said that’s what they were really wanting so it confirmed on I was on the right track!
