A is for April 23: A to Z Blogging Challenge AND #IWSG

I was always going to write a book. Ask anybody. As far back as kindergarten in those "what are you going to be when you grow up" talks, author was always on my list (admittedly so were things like living in outer space and owning a unicorn).

It's kind of funny then, that it took me so long to get serious about it. Like "finish things" and "submit things" kind of ambitious. But I finally did. It was my birthday gift to myself two years ago: I promised to write every day.

And now I'm counting in mere days to the release of my debut novel: Going Through the Change, A Menopausal Superhero Novel comes out April 23, 2015. 

It's an auspicious day--William Shakespeare's birthday, the anniversary of my first date with my husband, and just a few days before my birthday. Amazing!  That's not to say I'm not still insecure--it's scary when your dreams come within reach, that's why so few people really reach for them: Fear of Failing. 

My A to Z postings this month will be about the book and my experiences in writing it and seeing it published. Thanks for reading and helping me celebrate!
