Release Day and How It Feels
Spider Game released today. It's part of my Ghostwalker series which are very near and dear to me. I love writing this series and matching my alpha males to kick butt heroines. I love the science behind it all and all the research I do for these.
I have made so many trips to New Orleans and into the bayou for this series. So when you read the description of the bayou you can believe it's really like that. The sights, smells, flora and fauna. It's so intriguing to me.
I know I'm suppose to post things about the book and promote it, but you can get all that on Facebook and Twitter. I would really like my GoodReads blog to be different. It's more in line with what you find in my online community, for those who have joined up there.
I will tell you that no matter how many books I write, no matter how long I've been writing professionally, release day is special for me. It's part excitement, part nervousness, part curiosity. You work hard to bring those characters to life. And to make the places feel real to readers. And you hope the emotional journey as well as the adventure will thrill readers when they read it just like it did for me when I wrote it.
It never gets old, that feeling when a reader writes and says something in the book really touched them in some way. Or that the book helped them get through a rough time by allowing them to escape for a time. I do read my email. I do read comments left on social media. For that moment, I am connected to someone who shared a story, my story. And we shared an experience through those characters.
It's an exciting day for me and I sit here wondering how readers are feeling as they read the book. Spider Game
