No way!....
WAY!
Yep! Just glanced at my calendar and it's exactly one week today until The Boys of Summer is launched into the big bad world for all your downloading and reading pleasures.
It's quite surreal to be at this point after such a long...dare I say it? dare I go all Oprah like and say..."Journey" Oooooh I so just did! But there really isn't any other way to put it.
On December the 17th you will be able to purchase your very own copy of 'The Boys of Summer' from all the usual haunts (links will be posted.) Paperbacks are coming and I am super excited about that.
I have no diva illusions in being an author; it means different things to different people. Some don’t actually class themselves as an author until the sell a book, some don’t class themselves unless the make a certain amount of money, some don’t class themselves unless they are a signed traditionally published deal with a huge advanced check.
For me it’s simple. I am an author as soon as that paper book rests in my hot little hands THAT will be my cementing moment of reality.
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately as I sit in my office wearing my smoking jacket, pipe and eye monocle.
I reminisce of the year gone by and what it has meant to me, things gained, things lost but above all what I have personally achieved. It's a bit early to be unfolding the folded up piece of paper and begin my thank yous (before the orchestra starts up and I am forced to speak over them)
Until then flag it on
Goodreads, set your reminders, organised your alarms, schedule wake up calls and carrier pigeons to alert yourself and everyone you have ever met about the 17th.
Also don't forget to 'like' the official 'The Boys of Summer' Facebook
page! Lot's of swoony, summer pics...What's not to love?
