Gone to the Printers

No more changes as my novel has officially gone to print! They said the kindle will be available in a few weeks. It's real now and there's no turning back. It took me a lifetime to get here, from my dreams of writing in chapters as a child, to trying relentlessly to get my small pieces publishes, to publishing a lot of content including a blog, and finally to that day when someone said "I like this, can I pitch it" and it found a home.

My hope is that this book will entertain those who read it. There's a piece of me in every character good and bad because I really wanted to make the characters feel real. I also was determined to write the kind of mystery that I would enjoy and hopefully there's enough suspense to keep the pages turning.

Mostly, I'm proud of myself for letting this work go into the world with the simple expectation of joy.

Countdown to Publication Day!

In a few days, I'll officially become a novelist with Sin in The Big Easy. It's been such a long road and it's been wonderful to not only see this project come to fruition but all the love and support of so many people from my present and past. My hometown former classmates are excited to have a novelist in the mix and my pre-readers have been positive so my anxiety level is low. I do think people will enjoy it!

I can't wait to see what happens and I'm locked into this amazing journey and look forward to see where it takes me.
