Book Release Day!

Early this morning, I did a phone interview with Dr. Alvin Jones. Dr. Alvin and I figure this was either his fourth or fifth time interviewing me-neither of us were exactly sure. That made me smile! When I began this journey about six years ago, I never would have imagined I’d have the opportunity to meet so many people, and to develop relationships with radio interviewers! It’s simply amazing to me.

I was thrilled to start my day with Dr. Alvin because he is so positive, one can’t help but be put in a good mood while talking to him. His enthusiasm is just what I need today!

Tonight, the book tour officially begins. I bought a new red dress to wear, and I’ll be baking some cookies, too. Later, I’ll go get my nails done and pick up some balloons. Then my husband and I will head over to Barnes & Noble in West Chester. Some of our neighbors and church friends are joining us tonight, and even some of my husband’s poker-playing buddies! I’m also looking forward to meeting some long-time reader friends who I’ve only met here or on FaceBook.  My husband’s ‘job’ for the tour is to take lots of pictures, so we’ll post some tomorrow!

Now, though, I actually have to work. My revisions still aren’t done for Eventide. This is not good, I even worked much of the weekend on them!  However, working on revisons is as much of a part of my writing world as celebrating when a finished book appears on the shelves. It’s all part of the process, and I give thanks everyday that I get to spend my days working on books.

I owe much of this to you all. Thank you!

Below is a photo from yesterday…I made a quick trip to the bookstore to drop off a poster! I’ll be signing it today and giving it away tonight.

Thank you for stopping by, and thanks for helping me celebrate the release of  DAYBREAK, my 16th novel for Harper Collins! It wouldn’t be the same without you!
