Dear ones --
Today's the day. Through all the ups and downs, twists and turns, disappointments and surprises, you've been here, cheering me on. I've thanked you dozens of times, and I'm thanking you once more.
YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT HAS MEANT SO MUCH THROUGH THE YEARS.
And now here we are! Stormrise is officially out there, and I find myself sitting here thinking, wow. Did these many years actually pass? Is that elusive, disappearing-around-each-bend dream finally mine to hold?
Yes and yes.

Today my Twitter and Instagram and Facebook notifications are small explosions. Thank you for your words of congratulations, for spreading the word, for ordering a copy of Stormrise. I'm humbled and blessed and honestly, this is just so big.
Here is a UNIVERSAL LINK to all the places you can order Stormrise. (Remember that it's always wonderful to order from your favorite local bookstore, too. And requesting Stormrise at your library is also greatly appreciated!)
I've got an event at Barnes and Noble tonight, and there will be cupcakes. Between now and then, I'm planning on...well, not doing much. Soaking it in, maybe having a little nap. Because this is the ONLY DAY OF MY LIFE on which I'll be celebrating the release of my debut novel.
Thank you all for being a part of it!
Happy dance! (Thank goodness you're not sick today or something. Could you IMAGINE!?)

DeleteAll the congratulations in the world! It's beautiful to see your dream come true, especially considering how many people you've helped reach their own writing dreams over the years. I've mostly been a lurker, but I've learned so much here. I hope you sell a million copies. You truly deserve it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! <3 And thank you for de-lurking. :))) I love to know when folks have quietly gleaned things!
