Three more sleeps…

I’ve worked - intermittently - on The Parisian Spy since September 2020 and now finally, finally the book is almost LIVE! Three more days. 20 July to be precise.

Every book release is special, at least for me, because I don’t publish rapidly. Historical fiction books demand so much research and precision to write, I give myself that time. I can’t bring them out by the dozen. No way.

But there’s another reason I’m excited and slightly fearful for this release. The Parisian Spy has sold many more preorders than the first two books in the series - In Picardy’s Fields and The Diamond Courier. This sort of scares me. What if all the folk that have blindly bought my book suddenly don’t like the story? Success - even as modest as mine - increases the pressure on a writer. I hadn’t realized this as I’ve never yet had to be cognizant of the fear-of-success phenomenon before. 🤔

The buyers tell me they like the cover, the premise, the theme. So far, so good.

Anyway, it will be a bit of a hold-my-breath moment for me after The Parisian Spy goes live. The paperback also releases on 20 July.

I just hope people fall in love with OC and JJ’s story. I’ve given it my all. ☺️
