This question can’t be answered easily. I’ve been all over the place. What in God’s name persuaded me to believe doing an early release while preparing for my in-store launch was a good idea? Needless to say I’m feeling the effects of my lapse in judgment. I’m bloody knackered!


Which leads me to this point: I’m getting my international interviews out of the way first this time and sprinkling in a few stateside interviews when time allows. Why do the international interviews first?


You see, the re-launch of “Seduce Me” flipped the script on us. At the time of its release my fan base in Britain, Germany and France were solid however I hadn’t done any oversees marketing and no one in my camp was prepared for the book to take off internationally.


No kidding, Greg woke me up one morning screaming at the top of his lungs that I’d made the Amazon and Barnes and Nobles bestsellers list. He then gave me the list and taught me what each set of numbers meant.


I looked at him, rolled my eyes and said, “Is that what those numbers mean? It’s been like that for a week. I didn’t know what the hell was going on so I ignored it.” Honestly it didn’t matter as long as book was selling in its correct form and folks were happy.


Back to what I was saying about the international interviews. Suddenly, I began receiving emails and letters from places such as Japan and Pakistan! And soon I received interview request like crazy. Understand that our interviews here in America are short and informal in comparison. So this is why I’m getting them out of the way first.


Aside from interviews, I’m doing a ton of promo work which has me running around like a mad person; juggling my family, managing the early release, working on edits for my next book, writing updates for the site and recently I completed two articles for a friends’ newsletter.


All of this going on and Greg is going to Berlin for a stag week so I’ll be managing Daniel all by myself. Well, not really. Portia is here and my sister Pam is coming next week. Lord, help us all! Pam isn’t the kindest person on earth and she has NO filter but she takes care of business. So in that sense I’m glad she’s coming….plus she’s cute so all of the attention will be on her which means I can sneak away for a bit.


I'd hope my mom and I could've had a mini-break in London before the shit hit the fan but all bets are off now. No breaks for a while, I’m afraid. Oh well! I'm living my dream...it often resembles a nightmare but it's all mine.


To those who pre-ordered books...they shipped today. Sorry for the delay with the printer but it's resolved. YAY!
