In the last few weeks a lot of things have happened that I could never have imagined only a few years ago.
-My first book released
-Some people seemed to like it
-I had a houseful of tipsy people reading my dirty sexcerpts aloud and having a blast-and I didnt die of humiliation (well, only a little)
Its hard to come out of the haze of it all. I have edits to do and another book to finish and a book aimed at NY pubs to start-not to mention promotion for my April releases. All this tension and build up, people warned me, but I had to realize for myself that this isnt the end. It is a continuous ride of ups and downs and loopty loops. If I want to be on the rollercoaster for the long haul, I have to settle in, tighten my seat belt and get comfortable.
But I have to admit a feeling of relief. After a year and a half of continuous writing and a husband who couldnt be more supportive working his butt off to pay for everything so I could follow this dream where it led. It feels good to finally be officially out there in the world. Published.
Now I just have to keep improving, keep moving forward and hopefully continue to be moderately entertaining.

Oh my! I can’t believe no one’s commented on this one. I had a good laugh when you first posted it, R.G. I once wrote an erotic short story and one of my friends read it aloud. One of my OTHER friends was scandalized, which made it all the more hilarious. One of the best, most painful belly laughs I’ve had.
Congrats on the book release!
