Taking A Deep Breath

You know how it is when you're swimming? When, right before you plant your face in the water you take a deep breath? That's how I'm feeling this Sunday. My latest book in the Cotillion Ball series, The Tempestuous Debutante, comes out tomorrow. I have called on almost everyone I know to do an

advance read of the book and post a review on Amazon Monday, since the more reviews you get quickly translates into extra promotion from Amazon, or so I've been told. Now I just need to get those advance readers, to whom I am extremely grateful, to post their reviews. I'll be chasing them for several days, I've a feeling.

While not chasing after reviews, I have a full week of blogging going on. Today, I'm at Authors To Watch. Tomorrow I'm on Crimson's site and USA Today. Tuesday I'm back on Authors To Watch and I have an appearance on Eye on Romance. Wednesday, I'm going to sleep, I think. Thursday, I'm back out on tour, with a stop (and a giveaway!) at Ramblings By This Chick. Friday starts The Romance Review's Fall Blog Hop, which runs until September 21.

Things will calm down again in October. Or will they? I have a contemporary due out sometime before year's end and I'm part of a Christmas anthology.  So, there will be edits for both, promotional efforts for both, and on and on. And then, there's the big news I can't talk about yet. I did some preliminary research for the next book I want to write and had hoped to start on that next month. Oh dear!

I hope my life never slows down.
