HOOK, LINE AND SINK HIM media blitz begins!

Hi Girlfriends,

So, I've been waiting and waiting and waiting... And now, the media blitz of HOOK, LINE AND SINK HIM has finally begun. Feels like I'm starting a new job, very overwhelming, but very fun!

I'm learning how to be more technologically saavy, and figuring my way around social websites like facebook and twitter. I know, I know... You all think I'm living in the 90's. Well, not anymore.

On April 23rd, I leave for LA to launch HOOK, LINE AND SINK HIM at the LA Times Festival of Books. For years, I've been writing, writing, writing. And I always knew something good would happen from writing, but this all still feels like a dream.

Ironically, the only thing that relaxes me these days is writing. I'm working on another novel that I hope to publish. It is turning out adorable! So, when I'm stressed out about the 10 pounds I have to lose before the trip, or what outfits I have to bring, or the nervousness I may feel about being interviewed by the media while I'm out there, or the possibility that I may say something really stupid on camera, I find much tranquility in absorbing my mind into the characters of my latest book.

It's funny, I was just in Florida last week walking on the beach with my sister, and she said that whenever she feels stressed or depressed she comes to the beach. It is the place that relaxes her and makes her feel like all her problems will work out fine. I told her, "I feel that way when I write."

I'd love to hear what YOUR place is! E-mail me!
