Upcoming release: Watering Words by Bridgette Kay

Hey, just a quick shout out for my good friend out on the west coast, Bridgette Kay. She has just revealed the cover of her upcoming book, “Watering Words”, a collection of twenty-five short stories she wrote a few years back and has since revised and is set to self-publish.

I recall a number of these stories from back when she put the initial drafts on her site as part of a challenge to write one short story a week for fifty-two weeks. Since then, she’s gone through and given them each an overhaul and subjected them to extensive rewrites.

I’ve got my eye on picking up a preordered copy myself in the next day or so.

Like many of us who write, Bridgette admits she is feeling the imposter syndrome creep up on her as the publication date creeps closer. I recall that feeling when my own book came out — only it never went away… [cue canned audience laughter].

Hopefully she’ll get over that because you jumped at the chance to buy a copy and boosted her.

A portion of all sales goes to a local nonprofit, G.I.R.L.S. Rock Sacramento. As a father of three daughters myself, and as she notes on her announcement, we need more organizations to help young women find their voice more than ever these days.

Check it out and let me know if you buy a copy. Better yet, visit Bridgette on her site and tell her yourself.
