Reaching out and finding love

These past couple of days have been quite the emotional roller coaster. I've managed to accomplish one of my life long goals, publishing my first ever book and realizing, at the same time, the kind of loving support I have from my friends and family while doing so.
Going through the process of releasing this book was daunting. Anytime you put into writing something that comes from within you, and choosing to share that with the multitudes will give anyone a panic attack. After all, it sort of gives the readers an insight into what goes on in your head. And these stories of mine, based on my dreams, are definitely a window that a lot of people don't want to peek through. Still, my husband and my best friend have insisted for some time now that I ought to see where publishing my stuff could take me. So I braved it out and I did it. Now the positive responses I've gotten have made me eager to share more and maybe, just maybe, my dream of publishing my full out novel will also come true.

A Cover Made

My e-book cover edited by the ever talented Tiffany L. Cook of TLC Candids in Bellevue, NE.
After a few more failed attempts at finding an artist to create a cover for my short stories, I finally decided to compile them all into one book and publish it under the title of Violent Dreams & Dark Fantasies. Thankfully, I happen to know a very talented photographer that graciously accepted the job of editing the cover photograph for me, and this was the end result. I couldn't be happier. This meant that I could finally finish the e-publising process and get my stories out there for everyone to read. I just hope now that they are well received, but overall I am grateful for the support of my friends and my family in achieving this lifelong dream. I am now a self-published author!
