Release month

OK so technically book # 2 released in January, which was last month, but that’s okay. My second book released and with it a feeling of accomplishment. Sure, I was over the moon with the release of my first book last year, but I’ve heard the second one is the most difficult. I’m not sure what’s difficult about a second book. Maybe for some it’s living up to the hype of their first if the release was awesome. Maybe it’s having expended all the energy in writing to completion and now that you have to do it all over again your tank is bone dry.

This particular book was actually my first written. I shelved it for a bit, and went with a different story for my first release, but book 2 holds such an important place in my life. It was the first book I wrote after thinking I was more a short story writer. It was the culmination of late nights and many many read-through’s by a friend, and truthfully I wasn’t even sure I wanted to share it. It was something I wrote for myself and though I did spend many years trying to obtain an agent for it to be traditionally published, I thought maybe it was a story I should just have for myself like I originally intended. But the story had a mind, a voice, of its own and begged to be shared.

If you get the chance to read it, which I hope you do, know I will forever be sending you a million thanks while also nervously chewing my nails down to the quick in hopes you like it.
