It wasn't long ago that my friend called with some news that she can now make public: Anna Lefler has her first book deal! She was sought out, thanks to her riveting blog. She said yes. She plunged in with the professionalism, discipline, and completely lovably twisted eye she brings to all things under the tilted sun and orbed-out moon. And you will not have to wait long for your copy of a book every woman will soon have.
From Publishers Marketplace:
Comedian and "Life Just Keeps Getting Weirder" blogger Anna Lefler's CHICKTIONARY: FROM A-LINE TO Z-SNAP, THE WORDS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW, a humorous lexicon of the terms women use and what they're really saying when they use them, to Diane Garcia at Adams Media, for publication in October 2011, by Betsy Amster at Betsy Amster Literary Enterprises (World).
I'll admit: I've seen a few early entries. I'll admit again: I was sitting at the hair salon when Anna's most recent entry flew in over my phone. I read the final line to the ladies I was with. Here is what they, in unison, said:
Oh my gosh, that's going to be a bestseller!!!
Congratulations, Anna Lefler! I know I've never had a chance to give you a real-live hug. But I did see you floating down the street one day, high above the crowds. I took the picture here, so that I might someday say: I knew her when. I was in her audience.

This is FANTASTIC! I've seen a few of Anna's submissions for UrbanDictionary.com - as well as cracked up over her blog - and am sure this will be a hit. Thanks so much for sharing this, Beth!
I only just discovered Anna this week and am thrilled to hear this!!! xo
Congratulations to Anna! I've read her blog, and will look forward to reading and laughing over her book!
Okay, how is it that there exists - somewhere - a parade float/Mardi Gras head-thing that looks *exactly* like me...and I knew nothing about it? You've been holding out on me, Kephart.
Thank you thank you, my dear friend, for this amazing post! I appreciate it - and your loving support - more than I can say.
XOXO!
Anna
Fist bumps and finger snaps, all around - congratulations, Anna!!
