Oh my goodness, after thousands of years and years and years, my book is finally here!

***Cue all the happy dancing in the world!***

I’m so exhausted from all the release-week prep, I’m not even sure how to celebrate!

But since my birthday is next week (and my master’s program also starts next week), I plan on at least celebrating with sushi takeout (veggie only always) and an at-home movie.

My husband also suggested the Renaissance Faire at our local castle (yes, you read that correctly) or a weekend at Holiday World.

What would you do to celebrate a book release if it were you? I welcome suggestions!

One thing I know for sure I’m doing to celebrate is mailing someone this incredible prize!

{You can enter here until the 21st.}

And don’t forget to join me at my online release party on Thursday for another grand prize similar to this one!

See? Almost identical. ;-)

For me, writing a book takes months of daydreaming, sketching out scenes and plot points that simply must happen, then a mad dash to write down the story as it comes to me.

I usually write fast but edit slowly, combing through the manuscript for just the right words, making sure the plot works and the dialogue makes sense, rewriting scenes as they need to be rewritten, before it goes to critique partners, then beta readers, then rounds of editors until the story is as perfect as it can be.

So months (and even years) later, it finally makes it into your hands, and I wait with bated breath for reviews to start rolling in so I know what you think.

(So, yes, please, leave a review! It helps more than I can possibly say.)

And that’s it! I just wanted to share my happy day with you.

I hope you love this adventure!

In Him,

Michele
