When I signed my contract, my book release seemed so far away. It didn’t feel real. Then little things started adding up. When we finally started working on edits. When my cover was finalized. When it began to appear on book sites like Goodreads and Amazon.
And now Witch Song has actually been released. Sometimes it still doesn’t feel real. Like I’m waiting for some line I need to cross that means I’m a real author with a real book that real people can buy.
Today is another one of those moments. My *launch party. A celebration that means all the hard work and worry and frustrations can finally begin to pay off. It feels like a graduation. Something I’ve held close to myself, nutured, and watched grow. Now, I can open my hands and set it free into the world.
It’s a good feeling. 🙂
*The Launch Party is Monday, Sept 12th from 7-9 at the Hyrum City Library (50 W. Main). There will be a presentation from 7-7:30. There will be treats. YOU CAN BRING YOUR KIDS. I will have a TV set up in another room with a movie playing.
** I just had to tell you all how awesome my launch party was. I had so much support, and the presentation went really really well. It was so much fun!

I had to let you know how wonderful my launch party went. There were so many people who came to support me and helped me make it work. I'll have pictures to show later!
I definitely really liked this one. I think it had a different enough tone and message to be unique.
