Ral's Woman is out and wow.... LOL


Yesterday Ral's Woman was released. I was so nervous it wasn't funny. This being my first release... it was just flat out scary. I had my fingers crossed that people would enjoy the story. I hoped Ral and Ariel's story could do that SUPER HOT cover justice...LOL. A wonderful thing happened. I braved checking my e-mail that is linked to my blog, website, and ellorascave (it's all the same e-mail account). I had an e-mail waiting from a woman who bought the book, read it... and she said she "LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!" It was a really nice letter.
.
It touched me that she took the time to not only read my book but to hunt up my e-mail and drop me a line. I was THRILLED! Then I went back a few hours later. There were a few more e-mails from readers. And so it went. By the time I went to bed late last night I'd heard from just over a dozen readers and they all had really positive things to say, more than half of them wanted to know if there were going to be more books, hoping it was a series, and I just about floated to bed. I don't know who was happier. Me or my very proud husband who has been very supportive of my writing.
.
I have four children and this year my youngest is starting kindergarten. I finally have the time to commit myself to writing and giving it the full attention it deserves. In honor of that some months back (I think it was March) my husband bought me a new computer with this huge 24 inch widescreen monitor. I was using an old, breaking down, overheating laptop that was constantly giving me problems before he bought me the new computer. He wanted to support my dream and make it easier on me to work. He's actually the reason that Ral's Woman came about. He encouraged me by telling me to write it and gave me the tools to write comfortably. I wrote Ral's woman immediately after bringing the new computer home.
.
He's always had faith in me, he's always been very understanding when I spend hours with my headphones on while I write, keeping the children away from me. LOL. We're both really overjoyed that Ral's Woman is out there. I've also gotten a lot of wonderful support from fellow authors and it floors me how wonderful and kind people are. What a great world full of terrific people!
.
So... this weekend I'm going to check my e-mails, spend some time with my loving husband, and enjoy the fact that Ral's Woman has been released! I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Please go check out Regina Carlysle's blog! She was terrific enough to put up the cover, blurb, and excerpt. You can also find her link to the right.

  4. My children are driving me absolutely insane!! I have read all of your New species books, and am out of reading material until the next is released. I Just bought all of the Zorn Warriors books, and in an attempt to bring solitude to my sanity, I anxiously wait until tomorrow to read, book one. Thank you so much for providing us with a world to escape to. You are an incredible writer, I pray you keep going <3
