IN A FIX has officially been published. It's out there. (See? I changed the sidebar from where you can "pre-order" it to where you can "buy" it. Whoa.)
*clears throat* I am a published author.
Hmm. Even typing that doesn't make it seem real. Here, maybe if I type it bigger:
I am a published author!
Nope, still doesn't feel real. I mean, it's a very strange feeling when something you've worked toward for years is finally a reality. I think part of me doesn't quite trust it. Like the realness of it is fragile, a bubble on the edge of bursting...
Or a balloon...
...in a room full of porcupines...
I'm half afraid it could still pop.
But, like with a bubble or a balloon, I'm going to enjoy it while it's here. :)
And then I'm going to get back to work on the next book. Because as much fun as all the getting published stuff is--and trust me, it is--I still like the writing part best of all.
Thank you all for sharing the journey with me.

Congratulations, Linda!
When I woke up this morning, IN A FIX had already been delivered to my Kindle!
I've got two other previously started books on the Kindle I need to finish, and then yours is next! Yay!!!
Congrats!!!
I just happened to be up at 1:30am and popped open my nook and downloaded your brand new baby! I admit I did read a few pages before I stumbled back to bed.~grin~ Can't wait to really dig into it! Congrats again Linda!
YAY!!!!!!
Congrats!!!! I'm going to order it now!
*high fives* GO, LINDA!
I love that it doesn't feel real. Every day is like the first. :)
Congratulations! You've deserved this day for a long time, and I'm so glad it's here! Celebrate your success by writing a new chapter and then raising a glass of wine...or maybe wine first, then chapter? That could make the next book interestingin a whole different way ;)
All the best my friend...you so deserve this!

I commented earlier but I realize it was a mistake to use invisible ink. Congratulations Linda!
Happy release day!!! I'm a few days late, but I assume you're still celebrating! ;)
I can't imagine what it's like to type those words so I'm sure it doesn't feel real. But guess what, it is! Go You!!! You'll have many more books out, but I bet none will seem as special as the first. Enjoy:)
