My book is officially being released on June 30th. I’m so excited. I’ve been working towards this moment for 8 years. And, wow, is there a learning curve. When I first started writing I did it for my own entertainment and kept my stories to myself. Slowly I shared my work with my husband and then my mother. Neither of them were objective of course, but I made them laugh which felt great. Then I joined my local RWA chapter and found out about POV changes, evil adverbs, and show don’t tell.
I read a ton of writing craft books, joined a critique group, and entered contests. Going Down In Flames is actually the second book I completed. The first book was an attempt to emulate Jennifer Cruisie’s style of writing. (That manuscript is in my bottom desk drawer and should never see the light of day.) Going Down In Flames went through many reincarnations before it became the manuscript I sold to Entangled Publishing. Now that it’s been professionally and sometimes painfully edited it’s a different and hopefully better book than it was when I started this whole process.
I can’t wait to share my dragons with the world. If you’d like a chance to win an ebook copy of Going Down In Flames, a $20 Starbucks Gift Card, or a $20.00 Amazon Gift Card enter the rafflecopter below.
