Final Countdown

So there's only a few days left until Kiya's release, so I thought I'd put my thoughts and feelings out there about this.


I am soooooooo beyond reason excited! This is my baby and she's going out into the world for everyone to see. I've worked so hard on her, primped her, polished her, spent hours researching her and all the tears of querying but finally she's made it to the end of her journey. I constantly say my MC, Naomi, is my best friend and the person I want to be, and I truly hope everyone else loves her as much as I do.

I've been eaten by the ravenous reviewers!Paranoid. What if everyone hates book? What if every reviewer that looks at it slams it? What if I'm kidding myself and I actually suck? I know CQ wouldn't have signed it if they didn't think it was worth their time and wouldn't sell, but self doubt is still seeping through. Human nature I guess.
http://www.alegriphotos.com/No one actually buys it. So yes, I do need money. Signing it instead of simply emailing it to all my friends is kind of part of that. I have a family, my husband works part time while going to school and I work too while trying to raise our kid, so the extra money is definitely a plus. But more than anything, I hope people buy it because they want to read it as much as I loved writing it.
Pirating. I watch my fellow CQ authors talk about this all http://freestock.ca/the time and it frightens the crap out of me. I know realistically it's going to happen, I just hope for every pirated copy, there will be two people who legitimately buy it so my hard work and time isn't wasted, and again, people who enjoy it are actually showing me their love for it by helping support me and my family.

So there you go! My feelings on the matter. 3 days to go!
