Rogue Gadda is released!

Today is the day – the official release day for Rogue Gadda. It's been on sale in several bookstores for a couple of days now – I myself saw it on the shelves at Dymocks Canberra on Wednesday. And I know someone purchased a copy on Wednesday from Dymocks Melbourne, cause she told me so.

So, there. It's done. My trilogy is out in the world, complete and ready to be loved. I talk a little bit about it on the Voyager blog: http://voyagerblog.com.au/2011/07/01/and-so-the-story-ends%E2%80%A6/

What an awesome time it's been. Fun. Scary. Stressful. Overwhelming.

I've done this in the acknowledgements in the book, but I want to take a moment again today to thank a few people. Most importantly, my husband Tim for his support and encouragement. The fabulous team at Voyager, led by the totally amazing and inspirational Stephanie Smith, who helped make me a better writer. To my family and friends, who shared the laughter and the tears. I couldn't have done this without any of you.

Here's hoping the next trilogy gets picked up so I can do it all again [image error]

So what are my plans for today? Well, I've just sent out the July newsletter, and after breakfast and a shower, I'm going to spend the morning infusing fabulousness in my brain by overdosing on TED lectures. I've kinda been a bit housebound and rutted lately, and I'm not going to keep putting out great stories if I don't fill my head with fabulousness.

This afternoon is (unfortunately) about housework, but even us totally awesome writers can't get away without that. Tonight, champagne and one of my favourite dishes, chicken and prawn paella.

Then I'm planning on trying something out – I'm going to see if I can record myself doing a reading from Rogue Gadda to put up on YouTube. Cross fingers that it will work so I can share some of the happiness of the day with you all.
