New Book Blues!!!

    

This is a post concerning the woes of releasing a new book. I'm about to release Touching Spirits.  Imagine a police action novel with supernatural elements. 

Letting go of this book is difficult.  I have worked on it daily for three years and now it is going to go out into the world without my protection.  It is making a life of its' own.  I can't even defend it against nasty reviewers. Ultimately, a writer creates a product and has to let it go. But the closer it is to his/her heart, the more intimate the relationship the writer has with the material. I guess that is why I feel such a bond with Touching Spirits. 

In the blog you will find a post with the title of Caribbean House. That is where the majority of the novel is set. This novel allowed me to revisit a wonderful little village on the Yucatan peninsula that I love. But now I am sharing that special, simple place with the world, and hope readers love it as I do.
