Candy's Writing

I have a new book, "Dragons Prefer Blondes," coming out Tuesday, July 7, and I'm having a bit of freak out. As much as I planned for the promotional tour for this book, it still came around much faster than expected. I feel like a hamster in one of those wheels and I'll never catch up. :-)

Not that I'm complaining. Really, I'm not. In fact, having a book come out is pretty darn exciting. I've already received some emails from early reviewers who loved it, and that's the sort of thing that can make my day/month/year. I don't think my readers have any idea just how much their lovely emails mean to me. I try to tell them, but I think only another writer really gets that feeling.

What we do is art, and can be interpreted in so many way. For me, it's exciting that people get my books on different levels. I write them that way. Someone can pick one up and it's a good, fast read. Another person sees the comments I'm making on society. They are both right, and I appreciate one's opinion as much as the other.

Those letters are what help me during this freak out period when I'm worried about book sales, and if I've done enough to get the word out. So this is a thank you, to those of you who do take the time to write. I love and adore you all.

And I'd like to hear what you do to keep yourself from worrying about things you can't control.
