I was notified yesterday that my 16th
novel, Pound, will be released on Friday, August 22!
*spins dog
around and peppers her top knot with kisses*
Admittedly, I doubt this news will garner a similar
reaction from you good folk, but I do hope it will be noted and shared appropriately
(for example: flyers on car windows, notes on bathroom walls and anonymous
robo-calls to everyone on your street are all acceptable, but I’d shy away from
tagging city buses).
However, no worries should be had over this blog suddenly becoming just
a promotional platform for Pound.
Nope.
I’m restraining my eagerness for grabbing writing immortality, letting all
the literary glories (said with a straight face, darn it) of Book Two of “The
Lion and the Steed” Series to stand for itself.
Starting tomorrow, a single quote from Pound will appear at the
top of this daily blog. Other than that I will leave all salesmanship to the
professionals.
However, my obsessive, often humorous, often pitiful worry about the
success of said-novel will remain fair game. This is after all, a full
disclosure blog on my writing process. And for me, that writing process
includes a whole lot of Frank (my specter of imminent failure) and other
unnamed but equally frightening self-doubts.
So, please view today’s post as both a promise and a blanket apology
for the rapidly approaching madness.
Have a great Tuesday, my friends... and don’t forget to spell my name
right on those yard signs.
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
