My first novel was released a couple of days ago to quiet celebration on Amazon. It's a little strange to think that I'd ever reach the point when I could actually say 'I have a book out' There were many stages throughout the last few years when I just wanted to give up, put the pen down and get on with reality.
Now I'm so glad I didn't, although, I will admit that I am very apprehensive whether anyone will even like the book, it's still far better than having it sitting on my hard-drive gathering virtual dust.
