The Aftermath

TGIF, everyone!

First off, a massive thanks to everyone who popped by on Wednesday, helped spread the word about Construct A Couple, or even took the time to review my novel. I am constantly amazed by the level of support in the writing world!

It's a funny thing when launch activities die down, the hoopla fades away, and you're left staring at the computer screen wondering what to do next. Of course, there are plenty of things I should be doing, but I find I always need a little time to regroup and recharge. Next week, I'll start in on The Pollyanna Plan, due out in the autumn, and I've already got a draft cover designed for Marriage To Measure, the next in the Serenity Holland series.

But until then, I'm going to sit on my arse, eat raspberry trifle to my heart's content, and ogle the monitor mindlessly.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and thanks again!

(Today is the last day Build A Man is free on Amazon (.com; .co.uk). Yay! Grab your copy now if you haven't already.)

  3. The highs always have that low afterward - but it sounds like the trifle is getting you through! Congrats on weathering another launch (only people who've been through it know how hard it can be on the energy levels). :)

  25. Whoopsies, I'm sorry Talli,I missed launch day. What a bummer! Sounds like you did just fine without me. I'll get it read ASAP and post a review (a rave I'm sure.)

    Enjoy the raspberry trifle. I've been indulging in raspberry macaroons instead.

  33. What a fantastic launch week! I am reading your new book at the moment and although I don't usually read romcom genre much but I am enjoying this one. Serenity is just soooo realistic and warm - warts and all! Very best of luck with your next book - but take a rest first!!!
