Making My Unknown Known (MY BOOK IS ALIVE!)
So, I worked like a dog for two straight months. Not my dog, because my dog is dog royalty and sleeps on one of three designer beds and gets fed kibble and doesn’t have to worry about healthcare because he’s covered, yo. I worked like a, uh…horse. I worked like a horse to get this book written, edited, proofed and then this weekend Gregg and I went just about crazy making the file perfect for printing and ebook formats.
The printing’s going to take a while, because I need to see a physical copy and make sure it’s not a mess. The Barnes and Noble and Apple Bookstores are “pending review.” Kindle said it would be 72 hours. I said, “Yo, cool, I got until the 29th!”
Except to make a long story longer, I woke up this morning and this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G1X96WI
It’s also at Smashwords for other formats: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/369345 (I’ll post links to B&N, Apple, and the physical book once they’re available!)
Uh, yeah, I have an ebook. On the kindle! It’s…I’m…I threw up. No joke. I threw up in excitement. I barfed rainbows of happiness. And, whatever happens, I DID IT.
That said, you? I never would have done it without you. Seriously. I wouldn’t have the courage or the belief in myself without your amazing friendships, this community, this support.
I tried my best for this book for YOU. I am a slap-dash kind of worker, but with this book I tried so so hard to make this book great. I really HOPE I made it great for you. I want to write fun, romantic, great books FOR YOU, okay?
I hope you like this book, but if there’s something you don’t like? Please feel free to let me know. I’m doing this to get better as a writer, and to get better and braver as a human being. Please, please feel free to drop me a line or a tweet or a fb message letting me know if there’s a typo, a grammar error, a problem with the plot, WHATEVER.
I’m going to do a little giveaway later for an Amazon gift card, and when I have physical copies of the book, I’m going to give away copies of those TOO. But for today, for now, I just want to give you a big, virtual hug. You will never understand just how much you mean to me.
