It is Tuesday night, one week after the release of The Queen's Gambit.
Can I just say thank you? Well. Thank You!!! ALL of you. This troop of people who saw my book and picked it up! All the people who shared it on Facebook, or Instagram, or just talked about it with a friend. It's been such a great week. Everyday there has been something to make me smile, to add charm and wonder to the day. The Queen's Gambit has started making it's way out into the world, and the last few days I've been getting some great reviews on both Amazon and Goodreads! A few of them have had me grinning for an unhealthy amount of time. I'm so excited that I've found some of my readers {that's my goal, to find my readers} and that they are excited, and ready to see what happens in The Ruby Prince. {A lot happens.} {Prepare yourself for April.}
I'm just so thankful for it all. It's such a dream to be here, to be writing, to be working on my books. To be able to write out these stories. The characters are patient with me, for which I too am grateful. But, I do put in my time to try and get all their moments right, just how they happened.
I have great hopes for the months ahead. I hope The Queen's Gambit keeps getting out there, keeps getting picked up. I hope people are ready to read The Ruby Prince in April and then The Wanderer's Mark come summer. I hope that this journey of being an author is what I have always thought it would be. I think so. I don't think I've considered it unrealistically. {We'll see!} But, I do believe in charm, and goodness, and beauty in the timing of things. Even when you hit the hard bumps along the way.
So. Here's to Gratitude and Hope. And all of you.
Cheers!
