I love that cover, too, T, and I have no doubt it’s going to kick some serious butt. The package is irresistable, and so is the story inside.

Release day? Meh. I’m kind of one who doesn’t really notice. Nothing *happens* on release day except that urge to cruise every Wal-Mart in a 40 mile radius and stand like a ninny in the book aisle. I believe the Wednesday following release day is much more stressful.

When I am stressed out, I do what I’m doing right now. I get out of my tangled sheets, tiptoe to my office, and make a list of every single thing that I can possibly do to reduce my stress level. (Or read blogs.) Once there’s a list, I can handle it.

But best of all, to relax on Release Day…go write your next book. And breathe, girl. These books rock.

Stress – I internalize it. I’ve always been a nervous eater. Unfortunately it shows. I tend to be calm on the outside and a wreck on the inside. It is hard sending them out there, children or books, but you’ve done your best as a parent and/or author. You just have to believe your love and your efforts have made them strong and they can handle it.

Great cover, great title, Toni! Mine comes out that day too! Maybe we can rock them together!

Wow, love that cover! It doesn’t look like anything else out there right now, which is always a good thing.
BTW I love your blog!

*bwahaha* Can you tell I’m deep in edits and continuity check? All those Texas teams DO look alike. *ducks and runs with you*

Thanks, Erika! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it and yay! (Hey, I have a hard time with the titles, too. )

LOL on the bubble dialog above your head. Man, if people could only really see what we are thinking in those moments. (We’d probably be toast.)

Holy cats, Silver, I cannot believe I made that A&M mistake! Thank you for catching it. (I fixed it now up there.) Although all those Texas teams look alike. (ducking, running)

And congratulations on the release date! Yay! (and yes, it is worse than being pregnant)

Thanks, Holly! And yeah, I’ve done that, too, too many times to count (re: using food for comfort). I’m trying to get back into the exercise every day mode. Not always successful at that!

I’m sure your baby will do really well. I may have mentioned earlier that I just finished Bobbi Faye’s very (very, very, very) bad day and I LOVED IT! Stephanie Plum look out, Bobbi Faye is on the loose. I have pre-ordered my copy of Girls Just Wanna Have Guns and the third book that’s coming out that I just can’t remember the name of right now.

Sounds like you have 2 excellent boys. I have a girl and a boy and I worry ALL THE TIME. I’m pretty sure it comes with the title “Mom”. How do I handle it. Silently. I sit and worry (not constantly but enough) in silence. Hoping that the little comic strip bubble doesn’t pop over my head.

Best of luck to you with your new release, I’m sure it will be wonderful!
