You know that saying, "We make plans and God laughs?" Well I bet God, and all of the little sparkle fairies up in heaven are having a BALL with this one!
Never a dull moment in the world of indie publishing. I researched,
prepped, and anxiously gulped red wine in an attempt to calm my nerves
over the past few months to time the release of my first book, SPARKLE,
perfectly. Arranged for press, radio interviews, launch parties, all
meticulously in line with the magical date of Tuesday, October 9. The
date I obsessed over for the release of this book that I spent FOUR
YEARS working on.
And guess what? I logged into my Amazon account this morning and saw
that not only was it available now, but it had been selling copies like
CRAZY! Someone started the party without me! I am learning (quickly)
that I can't control everything, so I'm rolling with this one and
counting down the hours until I can responsibly pop a bottle of
champagne (the second I escape from my office).
Not only am I dealing with the shock of my book being released a month
early, but it's ranking in the TOP 100 in Amazon's "Self-Help --->
Happiness" category! At 11 am this morning, SPARKLE was #39 in the
category, and is also being featured as a "Hot Release!"
I just want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who supported
this project. I started this book four years ago, and had no idea where
it would lead me. I feel so blessed and lucky to have found myself in a
place where I am happier and more fulfilled than I ever thought
possible. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed
writing it and bringing it into the world.
With so much love and gratitude,
Cara
