Nice Work, If You Can Get It
I love my life!!!!
I just wanted to start by saying that. Because I can't think of one thing that I want to change (winning the lottery doesn't count, we ALL want that!)
Last year at this time, I was researching how to self-publish; Giving myself little pep talks in my head about how I could do it.
I knew the cover I wanted (thanks Katie and Kyle for the engagement pic)
By September, it was written and I was looking for an editor. Wow! Did I hit the jackpot! I got an editor and cover designer from a town just over from the setting of my book. It was fate.
October came with editing, cover reveal and a glimpse at just how crazy self promoting is; it also came with a wealth of new author/blogger friends that were encouraging in their support.
November was a flurry of last minute details, interviews, editorial reviews, and more book promo spots. Not to mention pre-orders and the actual release day!!
It's now the end of December and I've retained help with blog tours, book signings, and that elusive fan/review base. I'm working on Book Two in the series, due out in February, 2015.
And today, I received my first review from across the pond - Five Stars!!
Yep, as the song says, my future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.....here's to all of you for making it happen for me. Don't give up on those dreams; I'm proof they DO come true. Sometimes, it just takes a while.
