Monday was my very first Facebook release party, and it was a total blast.

I'm fortunate to be one of ten bestselling and award-winning romance authors who contributed to the Candy Cane Kisses and Enchanted Embraces anthology. One of our authors is an old pro at self-publishing and promotion, so she had us each take a 15 minute shift during this pre-release party last Monday and interact with readers and writers. It was such fun! I was dreading it to be honest, partially since I was flying in from out of town and my flight arrived just over an hour before my shift. I arrived home 15 minutes before and promptly had my old laptop take 15 minutes to restore and warm up. Meanwhile, I had my smartphone, tablet and was about to steal my teen's laptop in case mine didn't function at the appointed time. But it all worked out.

We're doing it again next Monday. Looking forward to it!
