…as if I woke up, floating in a really good dream.
Somebody pinch me, please.
Is this for real?
Yup. That’s the cover of my first book,Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body, which is available for pre-order on Amazon.
It was my husband who discovered the book was already on Amazon. I got an email from him earlier this week with the link and the words “pretty cool” next to it. I opened the link, assuming I’d discover some silly man-toy he might want as a gift for Father’s Day or for his summer birthday. But there it was: A real link for my real book.
Its official publication date is August 1st – just a few weeks before my due date with baby number 4. Crazy, happy times. A new baby and a new book. How blessed am I??!!!?
Stay tuned for further shameless promotions! :-)
Congratulations, Kate!
Thank you so much, Rebecca!
Way to go Kate! (or should I say, weigh to go!)
Gorgeous book cover, good work all around!
I can’t believe it!!! I’m SO excited for you and I can’t wait to read it!!!!! It looks SOOOO good! YAY!

Hurray!!!!!!! I am so excited for you, and for the readers you will help with your life experience and writing!
Holy, holy, holy cow. Kate — This is so tremendously, awesomely cool. You must (and should) be over the moon with excitement, and your mom and dad (and that handsome husband of yours) bursting with pride. As others have said, the cover design is lovely and inviting. So look forward to reading it. Already placed my Amazon.com order! (See you in Chicago??) xxx
Hi Kate- congratulations! The cover looks awesome, and the colour… what an eyecatcher. Btw, we received the spring issue of the F&F magazine two days ago (it takes a longer time until we get it here in Germany ;-)… and saw how many articles you have written this time. Great done- we liked them a lot! Bod bless, Nicole
Can’t wait to read – sure would love to see it availabe on Kindle! Congrats x 2!
I’ve been told it will be available on Kindle. I’ll keep folks posted. Likewise, after the official release date in August, I’ll be selling books – including autographed copies – via this blog!
Thanks again to everyone for their kindness and support.
Well poo.. I thought I had commented already on this post. But I wanted to say YAY! YAY! YAY! So happy for you and I can’t wait to read it!

Hi Kate,
You don’t know me, but I actually designed this cover for your book. I’ve been so very excited to see it printed. Have loved looking over your blog and am grateful for the topics you are coving in your book. Glad I could dress it up for you. :) Congrats on your success! And thanks for writing an inspiring book to design for.
Connie, the cover looks amazing. I’ve had a lot of positive feedback about it. Thank you so much for your creative work.
Kate, I am so proud of you. What an accomplishment!
I look forward to reading this and then proudly placing it on my bookshelf, ready to be lent out to friends and family as I tell them about this wonderful book written by this wonderful woman I “know”…
I sincerely mean that (even the creepy part about “knowing” you – meaning I wasn’t being sarcastic at all).
I think you are doing SO MUCH GOOD. I appreciate it.
Bonnie
PS – the book cover looks fabulous!
Kate — that book cover is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. And how awesome that it’s yours! Congratulations!
Eek! It’s so exciting! Congratulations!
