The Shape of Her Heart is out!!!

OK, so today is the day! I am so totally excited. This is so cool. So if you go to www.cerridwenpress.com you will see me on the FRONT PAGE FIRST IN LINE so you can buy my book. :-)

What a long but fulfilling journey to get to this place. A special thanks to the FF&P critique group who had a very large hand in this book - I couldn't have done it without them.

So if you like fantasy romances with feisty knife wielding heroines, pop on over and pick up a copy! If you are unfamiliar with e-books, buy the PDF format so you can read it on your computer.

Thanks to all. :-)

YAY

I submitted my second book to my editor!! Dreams are for Lovers. It's actually my favorite of all the books I've written so far. And very true to my personality. Here's hoping she likes it!

Promos and Advertising

I am gearing up to get the word out as best I can on my new book coming out April 16th. I can't believe it's only about a week away! Amazing!

I just saw Twilight the other night. I am not usually one to jump on a bandwagon but I actually thought it was pretty good. I didn't really like the main guy when I saw him in pictures, but he's much better in film. Much hotter. :-)

So now I am finally reading the books. The thing I find interesting is the voice - she has a certain sound that is an odd sort of "older than her age" feel to it. I like it although I usually hate first person pov books.

TWO WEEK COUNTDOWN

OK, so two weeks from tomorrow my book releases. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!

Also, I have submitted my next book to my editor, so here's crossing my fingers that she likes it.

Too Many Things

Hmm. Combatting the phenomenon of having WAAAY too many things going on in my life. lol. Both a blessing and a curse! I have noticed that when it gets past a certain point I sort of freeze - and then have to remind myself to just get things done one at a time and it will all sort itself out. Which it always does.

There have also been a lot of changes in my life and in the lives of people around me lately - people getting laid off, new jobs, new puppy, things in the house break and need fixing, spring is coming so we need to de-winterize the yard, garage sale next Saturday, need to do some crits for my critique group, submit my next book to my editor, blah blah blah.

Woo, I'm tired just typing it. :-)

Advertising, Promo and Reviews

I am waiting on my publisher to let me know what they do regarding advertising, promo and reviews so I know what they do and don't double-do something. I am interested to see what's what.

In addition, I guess they help you build your ARCs if you're going to submit to somewhere like the Romantic Times Magazine (RT). Am waiting to hear on that. Hopefully they do so I can have someone walk me through it - then next time I'll know what to do.

Romantic Times

So I am thinking of taking advantage of a New Author deal that the Romantic Times offers. For a much smaller fee than usual, they do a "spotlight" on you and also get you a review. Which is SO nice. So I am pulling together my package for them, including a headshot. Biggest challenge is trying to get a headshot done where I don't look tired, lol. I have way too many things going on in my life to sleep enough. On the bright side, it's all good stuff and I can't complain!
