I have been a wife and mother for over twenty years. Now I am becoming my husband's lover, too.
We owe it all to my fellow bloggers who gave me the courage to come out to my husband as a spanko.
I do feel like this is a New Beginning for us.

Exciting Saturday!

I don’t think this will keep anyone else up, but I can’t wait. Our local bookstore has invited me to do a book signing at the store Saturday. I’ve done this once before, years ago, and I loved it! There are few things I enjoy more than talking about my books. 


Promoting books is the very hardest thing about writing. You can write the best book in the world but if people don't know about it, how can they read it? Talking face to face with readers isn't going to get me on The NY Times Best Sellers list, but some people will listen. I can’t wait! It’s a little tricky with my content. Many of the conversations go something like this.

 

Reader: What are your books about?

 

Me: They’re mostly romance. But I got tired of reading about twenty- and thirty-year-olds. My main couple is over sixty. (I now have the attention of the over fifty crowd.) But over the years younger couples have joined the ‘family’ so now all age groups are represented.

 

Reader: looks curiously at the books and maybe picks one up. 

 

Me: Now there is a twist in my writing. The overview is – sweet older couple meets Fifty Shades of Grey. (There’s my hook. Some move on at that point, but most give a chuckle and ask for more detail about the different series. Older people I direct toward the Cassie Space series first, a younger person I might talk more about Cal’s Law or On the River series.)

 

Even if no one buys a thing I’ll still enjoy talking with folks. Often people will try one of the books and there is nothing better than having someone ask me to sign their copy. I wish I could invite you all to come, however I don’t think you would all want to venture to my little town. But maybe you’ll keep your fingers crossed that I make a few sales. I’ll let you know.

    I hope your book signing event went well. I love that your writing includes people of different seasons of life. As a younger person, hearing about people who are still in love and committed to each other after 20, 30 years of marriage, is like reading a modern-day miracle and it’s so inspiring.

    1. The signing went great and thank you so much for your comment. I'd never really thought of it that way and that view makes me happy. I was lucky enough when I grew up to be surrounded by marriages that had lasted 50, 60, even 70 years. But I know that's sure not true for everyone.
