L.M. May's Blog

As this is my first blog post on goodreads it seemed only fitting it be about my story, Dark Days, which is now live on kindle.

WOW. I'm not sure how others feel when their book goes live, but for me it has stirred a whole kaleidoscope of emotions.

Fear, excitement, worry. The list goes on.

Fear that it won't sell after putting my heart and soul into it. After giving up every moment of my free time for the last six months to work on it, to the detriment of my family and my social life.

Excitement that maybe it will sell. That maybe it will bring me a little closer to my dream.

Worry about how it will be received. I've sold 24 copies so far (small fry to some but amazing to me). I can't help wondering what people are thinking as they read it. If they are enjoying it or feeling ripped off.

Worry/excitement/fear: Reviews. They scare the crap out of me.

So now, about my book…. Just in case you are curious...



Gemma thought she'd seen the last of Christopher Daley. She was wrong. When she ends up trapped in the city after an event that devastates society, Gemma has to trust the man who broke her heart as they set out on the long journey back home in a world that will never be the same again.

A story of love, survival, desperation, compassion and loss: a story of never-ending hope.

Part romance, part suspense/thriller, part apocalyptic fiction
