Mended's release day has finally arrived! You can find Mended on Amazon here.
If I'm being honest, Mended's release has brought on a bag of mixed feelings. On the one hand, I am so excited to finally be able to share Mended with the world and see what others have to say about it, but on the other hand I'm so nervous and overwhelmed because what if people don't like it? Or worse, what if no one reads it? Now that my work is out there for all to see and judge, how do I cope with the waiting game? 

The thought of waiting for those first reviews to come in has kept me up at night. What if the reviews are terrible? Or what if they don't even come at all? I know that my own friends and family will support me and I am grateful for their feedback, but what about the stranger who has no idea who I am? What will they have to say about my book? Will they even give Mended a chance and read it?

For the past year I have toiled and worked long hours to produce something that I can be proud of. And I am proud of Mended, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't care at least a little bit about what people think of it. After all, I poured my heart and soul out into writing that book. 

There was a time when I thought that publishing Mended would be the end of it. But how wrong I was. This week I have worked far more hours desperately trying to ready everything, promote my work, get reviewers and so forth, than I had when writing it. And I
know I have a long way to go. 

My fear is that I will spend all of my available time (I don't have much) to promoting Mended that I will no longer have time to write, which is one of the things I love most. No to mention that I promised everyone a series! 

Fears aside, I'm sure with time I will figure it all out. I had a dream to write a book and I did it, so I can do this too. Thank you all for reading. I hope that you all will give Mended a chance.
