2nd Release Day for FAST FICTION! (kind of)

When I was first given a release day for FAST FICTION, it was February 18th. That date has stuck in my mind through many months of revising and editing. My publisher had suggested I wait until books would definitely be available everywhere before promoting the book and launching my blog tour. So that is set for the week of March 3rd. Then I noticed Amazon had it scheduled to release on February 11th! So I've never had so much ambiguity with a release date...but actually, I kind of like it. It's like the party just keeps going and going!

I wanted to share a few things happening, if you're interested in celebrating with me.

Today, I'm over at the Writer's Digest Blog, talking about How to Write a Fast-Draft Novel.  There's also a copy of FAST FICTION up for grabs there.


I also have several upcoming in-person events, starting with tonight:

I'm also gearing up for MARCH MADNESS WRITING CHALLENGE! If you've never joined in on this event, I hope you'll drop by and give it a try this year.
