My first book ... revisited
This was one of my first books published -- under a different title.
This started as "Your Saving Grace" and it had the world's worst cover. I mean, it was SO bad. I begged for a different cover and was told "covers don't sell books, the content does" or something to that effect.
I hated trying to pitch this book at conferences. I was so embarrassed by it. In the end, the publisher folded and I got the rights back. I edited it a bit to update the technology used and to remove the scenes the editor wanted me to include.
AND I FINALLY GOT A COVER I LOVE! I am no longer ashamed to be seen with this book at a book signing.
Win!

Why I'm not here often
I work full-time, like 40-50 hours a week. I also write 2 or 3 books a year. And I have a social life. So I don't have much time to hang out online.
