Release Day!

So Mechanical Magic is out today! I really should have done this post earlier in the day but… well there’s no real good excuse for it. Its a mixture of laziness on my part and just trying to focus and getting some new writing done. Getting back on track with everything and getting my daily writing quota reestablished. I have to have a daily quota that I’m supposed to meet or I won’t get anywhere with writing.

Moving on though! Mechanical Magic is now available and can be purchased here. The first, and hopefully, not the last thing I have published.  I thought I was going to be more anxious about this than I have been, but its been a surprisingly easy time of it so far. Of course I haven’t gotten any reviews yet, which might be the part that was worrying. I’m sure my rejection issues will flare their head when those actually roll in. For now though I think I’ll just bask in the feeling of finally being published.

I’ve been working on a couple of different stories, but I think I finally got the muse to settle down and let me focus on just one. Let the other’s percolate in the back of my brain. Hopefully all the better for the added time to grow.

Release Date for Mechanical Magic

  I got my release date for my novella Mechanical Magic today. It will be available for purchase on February 8th, complete with the absolutely gorgeous cover by Anne Cain. I adore this cover to pieces, in fact its the background on several things now. I love how she made Aster look, and the hand is perfect. The background is complex and subtle in relation to the story.

It comes out a week before my birthday, which I think that might be one of my best birthday presents to date. I’m excited beyond words about this, and also incredibly anxious as well.  Suddenly its all here and there’s things to do and not enough hours in the day, or enough people to scrape me off the ceiling. However my best friend has promised rum and cookies to celebrate the release, which sounds great and like the start of a fine tradition. I will also have a Meet the Author even on the Dreamspinner Press Facebook page on February 11th, which I am also excited and nervous about.
