Technical Difficulties

I’m not really great at blogging. Even though I have done it before. In all honesty, I do have another, pretty successful blog that I write with a friend, under a different name (Yes, Lashell Collins is a pen name). So I’m used to doing this sort of thing as a collaborative effort, even down to choosing our weekly blog topics. It feels really strange to me to be blogging by myself, and I find myself really stressing over what to blog about.

I started this blog in anticipation of the release of my first novel – book one in my new romantic trilogy. I am self-publishing on Amazon, and I had intended to push the publish button yesterday so that Pierced By Danger would have the very romantic publishing date of Valentine’s Day. However, as the title of this entry suggests, I ran into some technical difficulties during the publishing process.

I’ll spare you the gory details but, suffice it to say that there were several hours of angst, followed by great relief upon hearing back from the good people on the wonderful KDP-support team. But the end result is that Pieced By Danger will be delayed a couple of days. And that’s ok. With everything else going on in my life right now – all the little details surrounding the book release, and all the exciting (and stressful) things going on in my real life at the moment – I’ve decided that a small delay in publishing is really no big deal. And “technical difficulties” are sometimes a blessing in disguise.
