Technology Issues Suck
So, yeah. I’ve been lax on blogging.
Between a class load far beyond full-time, family, holidays, kids, writing, everything else, and my stupid laptop issues, this poor blog has taken the fall.
Today, I’m happy to announce the arrival of my brand new (Ok, it’s a manufacturer refurbished, just as good) back-to-the-brand-I-love Dell laptop. So, give me a few days… or a week… to get all my software installed, files transferred, remember all the stuff I have saved in the old one, and it’ll be one less stress on my mind.
Then, poor little blog, I will return — full speed ahead 🙂
In the meantime, check out my Release Party this Friday. I’ll be there — whether on my new laptop or someone elses.

Release Day, Yay!
Okay, so here it is. Dragos: Burned is live. I’m nervously fidgeting, wondering if people will buy it. Will people read it? Will they like it?
What if everyone thinks I suck?
See, us neurotic writers are truly beyond help. The thing we dream of most also scares us deeply.
I love my story (obviously). Not to say I couldn’t find plenty of things to still edit. Luckily, I’ve heard this is a common mentality.
But, especially this being my first, I can’t help but worry over my fledgling child out there in the world all alone. And I can’t help but worry that no one will enjoy it.
Like I said, call me neurotic.
So, if any of you do read my story, and you do like it — I would really enjoy hearing from you 🙂

Hyperventilating
2 days. Oh my gosh. 2 days. 
Dragos: Burned will be released upon the world.
My ego doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe it’ll just be hysterical.
2 days.

The joys of release
Oh, um… not that kind 🙂
Not only do I have my beautiful cover, but this Friday, I also have my very first book coming out.
Woo Hoo!
Okay, I’m back and slightly calmer.
But it almost seems unbelievable. It doesn’t matter this has taken years to achieve. It still feels like it happened overnight. Just a few months ago I received my first contract. Last week, I got the most gorgeous cover.
And now, in just a few days, my baby will be out there in the world for all to see.
