Look Who's READING...

My mom and my husband are reading my novel for the first time today, and I have to tell you it's quite exciting--as in the nail-biting, I've had way too much coffee kind of exciting, if you really want the truth!

I've not heard from Mom yet, but my husband is sitting across the room from me right now, feet propped up in an easy chair with my book open on his lap. He's reading my story for the first time. This is monumental....and fun for me watch. He's so engrossed that every now and again, he'll read a sentence out loud. I'll look up and say, "Did you say something?" And he doesn't even hear me. This tickles me to no end.

He's an hour into my story now. I can't resist. "What do you think of Damon?" I ask him.

"He's a prick,"he says without so much as taking his eyes off the page.

Good! This is what I want everyone to think of Damon. Now I'm smiling.

If I didn't think the flash would disturb my husband (and if he weren't wearing only boxers) I might take a picture. Oh well, I suppose I'll just commit this epic moment to memory--well, memory and this little 'ol blog : )

The Silence of Mercy Bleu,coming out in E-book (this weekend!) and Trade-Paper (March 2012).This story and subject is one that you'll want to share and I look forward to having you read my novel for the first time. No pictures...I promise. But what I will be doing these next few weeks is giving away a few ARCs. ARCs are books before the books, aka. Advance Reader Copies which are sent out to important people to gain reviews. But yes, I've managed to save a few and I can't wait to share them with you!
