Day of Reckoning

Is all of the HTML formatting correct? Did I run a final spell check? Did I swear too much?

All of these things are running through my head as we come to the final moments before I push the button and publish Huntress - A Grace Murphy Novel.   I'm waiting on final cover art and then it's done.

I've been dreaming of this moment for what seems like my entire life. I had my first poem published thanks to Miss Casee Chamberlain who sent it to our High School's newspaper / letter.  I can't remember the name of the Poem or even the words, but I remember that it was full of teenage angst and emotional diatribe. I'd probably be pretty embarrassed to read it now. Yeah.. I was that emo.

I'd wanted to write a book for so long but I was discouraged by people who said "It's so hard to get published. The rejection letters are heinous!"

Now, I don't have to rely on a publisher. I'm going to distribute Huntress through Amazon and SmashWords and try to market the hell out of it and start the next one.  It's a dream that I'm not willing to ignore anymore and thanks to awesome e-book distributors, I don't have to.

I want to thank every single person who has given me encouragement and strength over the last year while I wrote this bad boy.

Thank you and I love you. :)
