Weekly Notes, March 3, 2014
Straight from the desk of Alice Brown & Lady V: 
It's been an exciting week as Sapphamire, Dragons of Dragonose was released last Thursday Feb. 28. We held our first ever pre-release party, right here on our blog; and then joined up with fellow JK author Gracie Meadows to throw a HUGE release party on facebook Thursday afternoon.
Then we woke up Friday morning to discover our book made was mentioned in USA Today. I honestly can't tell you who was more excited, Lady V or myself. I still feel like maybe it was a dream.
There is a lot of "behind the scenes" paperwork that goes along with a new book getting published. A lot of sites that authors use to help promote them all get updated when a new release hits. Blogs are requested, reviews are requested, etc. It is a fairly lengthy list, but we are hoping to have everything caught up by middle of the week. That will free up time to get back to writing. While Lady V works on book three of Dragons of Dragonose, Alice will be working on edits to her new series, Texas Vampire Rangers.
Busy, busy week, but (hopefully) we will get caught up and get back to doing what we love to do the best...write!

Lady V is in the spotlight this week. So Lady V, what was it like last week to have your first book published?
Lady V: It was an incredible exciting, but scary all at the same time. I loved talking to everyone that was at our two parties, and I feel like I am starting to break out my shell that surrounds me. But Friday morning, when I discovered we were in USA Today? I jumped out of bed, went running to Alice. When I arrived I was so excited that I literally couldn't speak, could barely breathe. She started hitting the panic button thinking something dreadful had happened, and was beginning to wish she had never even rolled out of bed. When I was finally able to give her the good news, and that was after trying to get myself under control for about 2-3 minutes, we both started jumping and shouting! That's the thing I love about Alice. Yes, she is my mom. But she is also my best friend. And when something incredible happens like this, she is right there with me jumping up and down, and yelling (thank goodness we don't have any close neighbors).
Tidbit of the Week: From Alice Brown
In the middle of all the craziness of a book release, my thirteen year old niece came over Saturday afternoon. She joined us as we went to Raleigh to listen to a favorite singer of ours perform, and then spent the night. She hit us up for help in several projects that have a very short deadline on them.
So, in the middle of everything, Mr. Brown and I steered and helped her do a collage, a brochure (Mr. Brown gets extra points on that!), and a video of her explaining the meaning of Newton's Laws.
You'll be happy to know that Mr. and Mrs. Brown still have it! We aced all three projects and niece even had time to play Mario Bros. on the Wii.
The only project left is to write a children's book. Piece of cake...oh wait, I can't put any hot steamy scenes in this kids book. Okay, that might be a problem!
