I hate to brag (I really do) but A Girl Named Flower has earned a #1 New Release in LGBT Erotica tag twice now and is currently sitting at #11 on Amazon!

With that, however, I find myself shaking (and not in the good way)

I've been semi-over thinking an intentional flaw in the protection plan used in A Girl Named Flower (put there so the hitman could find the main characters) because I'm actually, secretly, a little bit self conscious about hitting #1 (hell, being in the top 10 is mind blowing) and although I understand the character motivation and the plot relevance I still wonder what people will think.

So, spoiler free, the plan Jane concocts fails (you know, so the plot can happen) based on several flaws that should have been obvious. The problem was Jane's hubris. She's cocky, underestimates others and thinks she knows everything. She didn't stop to consider that someone could outsmart her leading her to all sorts of trouble (like...a novel's worth) but I wonder if that will properly come across. Hopefully readers will see it as good character design (flawed but trying) and not bad writing.

I guess only time will tell but the uncertainty tends to eat at me with the success of this novel. This thing is set to outpace even Beauty and the Bitch so, looking at some of the hate that book has taken, I find myself stupidly trying to predict what detractors will say and driving myself nuts.

I know, I know, you can't please everyone, you can't dwell on wat ifs and you can't second guess yourself but knowing that and practicing that are not always the same thing.
