~it’s official
Today is a special day.
For those who know of my obsession with the number 9 and its connection to Watcher, today is a nine-day.
For those who don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, add up the digits in today’s date: 10-04-2011 -> 1+0+0+4+2+0+1+1 = 9.
But it’s more than just a nine day.
It’s a birth day, and a day to celebrate the achievement of a personal goal.
Today is the birth day of Watcher: Book I of The Chosen, after a nearly three-year-long gestation.
And today I am an officially published novelist.
Congratulations!!!

Thanks, Ryan.
And to think…Two+ years ago you were encouraging us folks at FSFW to try self-publishing, and I was staunchly against self-pubbing my novel.
A lot sure has changed since then.

Congratulations, hallelujah, omfg, whew, amen, and where’s the sequel?

Gee, thanks!
Sequel? Spring 2012. April, to be exact. Which, among other things, happens to be a nine-month.

D’oh. How long have I not visited? Sorry, life’s been manic for so very long!
CONGRATULATIONS on your publication! Great book cover — and I love the font! Where can I get it?

Roh! You didn’t tell me the date – that it actually happened! (And I’ve been a horrible blogger these last few month – not gotten around at all!)
This means I can give it write up on my blog, yes? Probably next week. Would you like to guest post as well?

Hi Tara!
Sorry – I’ve thought several time of emailing you, but have been so buried w/ getting the ebooks ready I haven’t had time to take a breath, let alone follow through on my thoughts.
A write-up on your blog? That would be great! And I’d love to guest post.
I’ll email you – right now, in fact!
