Thanks to everyone for your support, text messages, and encouragement this week. Y’all rock :) To say it has been quite a week is, well, an understatement. One of my writer friends told me that doing this publish-it-yourself thing would be a means to learn as you go along. She didn’t realize it at the time, but she was actually reading my future. WOW. Lots of things to prepare, have reviewed by the sites where the book will be sold, have re-reviewed by the book sites because their site was down after entering a full page of information (guilty culprit: you know who you are!) and more. SO… I am doing final prep of the links & my website today. Tomorrow (Friday 2/1) is the official “release day.” And for those of you asking, yes, I do have a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge. It’s actually been there since Christmas, when my inlaws brought it over and we decided not to partake of the bubbly until later. (Thank you, my dear inlaws – the bubbly will not go to waste!) What is this darn book about, you ask? Well, to read a short blurb, click here. I will say that the paranormal fiction is not for everyone’s taste, and that is okay. (For my more ultra-conservative friends, note that this genre may not be to your liking.) I have enabled sampling on Amazon, etc. so you can try before you buy. And it’s okay. I have many author friends who are talented writers, but I simply cannot get through certain types of fiction writing no matter how wonderful they are as people. So, for those of you who like the paranormal twists and saving human souls, the Elemental Clan Series will be an ideal fit. For those of you who prefer more “real life” fiction, don’t worry – I have several books I will be releasing later this year and into next, so you can have something more suitable to your tastes. See? Something for everyone. That’s the beauty in not going with a standard NYC publisher, when things all have to fit into a box. I write about Elementals, Fallen Angels, ghost stories and people seeing the dead, women’s fiction and women’s relationships with family and romance, and many other types of things in between. Stop by my blog on Friday 2/1, leave a comment, and get a chance to win a FREE copy of Water’s Blood.

Hey all, Thank you so much for all the support and well wishes you’ve sent as I prepare to get WATER’S BLOOD, my Book 1 in a 4-book paranormal (Elemental) series, online and available for purchase/download. I shared this on Facebook so I also wanted to put the opening paragraph teaser here: WATER’S BLOOD (available 2/1/13) – opening paragraph teaser: Brooke gripped the bar’s wooden edge until her knuckles turned white. Nausea and trepidation washed through her human form. Not now. Please. Not when her New Orleans pub, Armand’s, was filled with Friday night locals. She couldn’t keep walking away from her cover job. And she definitely couldn’t tell her customers the truth.

Hey all, One of my friends wanted to see these in digital format, so I took photos and am posting them here on my blog. For those who don’t know, Water’s Blood is Book One in an Elementals series I have been writing, and it will be released on 2/1/13. Here are pictures of the cover and the description. I ordered these postcards at gotprint.com, and they were absolutely delightful to deal with. So if you need any stickers, business cards, etc., I would recommend them highly :) Stay tuned for more blogs next week about the upcoming book release!

Well, the self-pub journey is a mysterious one. The most important lesson I have learned in the last 2 days is: don’t ever try to transfer a domain from one account to another without first pointing the name servers to the new place. As a result, by not doing this in the right order, my “real” domain URL website is down. For a few more days. So hence the temporary URL. Anyway, the big news is – I am planning to have Book One of the Elemental Series available online FEB 1st! The cover is below! Stay tuned for more information and updates. And I’ll share some life lessons along the way, because I’m learning them too :)   Water's Blood Cover Digital Design done by Taryn Knight | Leafbreeze Creations
