I didn't plan well for May. My book Temptation was due on May 1st, BUT it was also the BSB release day for Falling. When I should have been promoting the book, I was busy editing and making last minute changes to my WIP. That's my fault. I should have upped the due date. When Sandy told me May 1st, my brain refused to change it to something practical like April 30, so I drag it out until 10:30 p.m. May 1st.

On top of that, Golden Crown Literary Society released the finalists for Goldie awards. Two of my books were nominated - Breakthrough and Against All Odds. I can't tell you how big of a deal that is. Yes, it's great I was nominated, but first person books are a hard sell. A lot of readers are set in their ways and if they don't like something, they won't read it. I'm guilty of that, too. I have a hard time with out of this world books. New planets and towns and names blow my mind. So, it's not my go-to genre. There are only so many hours in a day and I have to pick carefully the books I'm going to read. I have to work and write books, too.

Back to May 1st. My day job has been crazy and not in a good way. I have to sneak in any social media and check reviews in secret. That's hard to do, especially during meetings when I should be paying attention.

BUT, despite the whirlwind beginning, I'm very thankful for my success and accomplishments. Writing has always been my dream and I am thankful I'm living it.
