This is my first official post, and I would like to begin by thanking everyone who has entered the Giveaway for my novel, Eventually Julie, thus far. There are nine days left until the Giveaway ends. I am so excited for the winners to receive their paperback copy, and I hope whoever wins enjoys reading Eventually Julie, as much as I enjoyed writing it!

It is amazing how many emotions are stirred within a writer pre-publication day. Currently, I am feeling extreme jubilation at the thought of releasing writing that I have nurtured for quite a while now. It has been polished, and polished many times, to ensure every word and every sentence flows freely and makes for an enjoyable reading experience. There always comes a time when we have to set our work free; to let it fly, so it can grow and thrive in the minds of others, as they impart a bit of themselves in it as well.

As a reader and a writer, I hope my writing brightens up someone's day, adds positivity to their life, challenges, and most of all, I hope the hours they spend reading my novel - are hours well spent.

At the risk of sounding verbose, I will end my first official blog post. There are only nine days left for the Giveaway. I am looking forward to sending a copy of Eventually Julie to each winner! Thanks to everyone that has followed me, and to my fellow writing and reading friends - happy writing and happy reading!
