Have you ever felt that
your life is like a juggling act? That there are so many demands on your time
and energy that you aren’t sure what to do next? And, each time you begin to
get a handle on things, something else unexpected pops up,
throwing your plan out the window and causing you to feel frustrated and
overwhelmed?
I’ve been feeling that
way a lot lately as I attempt to get everything together to self-publish my new book,
Secrets in Storyville. No doubt one
of the reasons I'm feeling that way is that I’ve never done this before and I’m having to figure
things out with each step I take. I had/have a publisher for all five of my
Malone mysteries but, for several reasons, I decided to try the
self-pub route. And, like most things in life, there are positives and
negatives - and lots of stress.
In spite of all the stress, I'm excited about taking this new path in publishing! I'm fortunate to have a good friend, with extensive experience as a graphic artist, who is helping me to create the cover for my book. If all goes as planned - she says, with tongue in cheek - it should be finished within the next few days and I hope to post it on my blog next week. My goal is to publish Secrets in Storyville sometime next month. Fingers crossed!
I hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend.
Happy Memorial Day!
