Today is the big day. Ral's Woman is released!!!

Wow. It's just after midnight on September 4th. My first book comes out at some point today on the http://www.ellorascave.com website. This is my first release and it's really exciting! A hundred things are running through my mind. Will other people love Ral and Ariel as much as I do? Will they fall in love with the characters as much as I did? Will their story entertain and captivate? I'm about to find out. Those are just a few thoughts running through my head. I'm also nervous. LOL.

I really hope that you enjoy it if you read Ral's Woman. I had a lot of fun writing it. Now I'm going to go drink some iced coffee, celebrate getting my first release out there, and stare at the cover on my computer screen because... isn't he hot??? They really nailed Ral. My thanks go out to everyone involved in the making of that cover. I hope my story does it justice!

  2. Hi Laurann:

    I went to EC saw your book and thought I would give it a try. I read it this afternoon and enjoyed it very much. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

    Have a great day.

  3. Sherry, Thank you!
    Helen, Thank you!

    I am celebrating and my critique partner Valerie (you're the best!!!) sent me flowers with a balloon. She's the best. LOL.

    Lisa J, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!!! That just makes my day. Hopefully the second one will be accepted! Thank you for taking the time to come here and leaving me a message. I appreciate it!

  4. On one more note after reading what I wrote... Valerie is more than my critique partner. She's a dear and very close friend now. I'm really glad that I met her! Kuddos to Valerie!

  5. Thanks, Laurann. I said it earlier, things have been a little rough lately with the loss of my friend Gary and my dog Rusty. In addition to being my critique partner you are also my friend, and you've been a huge help.
    Not only that, but Ral's Woman is a great story, and Kidnapping Casey is just as good if not better...and hotter. Congratulations!!!
