I’m like gum on your shoe- you just can’t get rid of me.
I’ll admit when my publication date was pushed back I was disappointed. If by disappointed you can picture me throwing myself to the floor and yelling out “Why God Why?” I described it like being pregnant going to see the doctor and having him tell you “whoops we figured that out wrong- turns out you won’t give birth next week, it will be more like next year.” Ha ha ha.
Here’s the secret to the publishing industry- you can’t do a darn thing about it. The publisher is doing what makes the most sense from the business perspective. The fact that I had already started a daily countdown to publication did not factor into their decision making process. I can’t complain too much- I got a nifty new cover AND I get to be the deb that carries on with the new deb class for just a bit longer. So you’ll be stuck with me a bit longer- until February when my novel (say it together with me) Unpredictable, hits the shelves.
I’ll be sharing my deb slot between now and February with The Divine Jess Riley. I met Jess online. We haven’t met in person- so as far as I know she’s strictly my imaginary friend. It seems only fair as I couldn’t imagine a better person to share my slot with. You’ll want to check out her book as well. I’ve had a sneak peak and it’s divine. More about her next week!
What is one thing you want to accomplish between now and February (other than pre-order my book of course)?
FYI, Eileen, your publication postponement solved a potentially impossible decision. Since IN THE STARS and GOOD THINGS were debuting on the same February day — and both had been pre-ordered to be delivered on the same day — my MAJOR concern was which book to read first? Now UNPREDICTABLE has the spotlight and I’ll be sticking around here with you to truly celebrate!
I want to be in line to be a new Deb by February.
It will be worth the wait!!!
Yay, Eileen! I’m all tingly and excited. I am honored to time-share posting with you!
When your book is released IN FEBRUARY, I will be your Wisconsin connection. You will have the cheesehead market all wrapped up.
Between now and February is a long time. Though when February is here and July has gone, I know I at least will be wondering where the time went.
I’m going through the same thing… I know how you feel! I figure it gives me a chance to get some other projects in shape.
