Another Sort of Panic Altogether

I still have the greatest job in the world. But for me, there are roughly three times a year that my world gets a little hectic and a little more frantic—when one of my books is released to you, the unsuspecting public.

It’s a nerve-racking time because I generally have promotional responsibilities—book signings, a few public appearances (and I don’t mean at the grocery store, but in front of people. You know, places that require full metal make-up), and lots of on-line interviews and guest blogging spots. These are great—you get to connect with fans. But they usually require I write new, original copy, which takes up time I would normally spend watching soap operas. Kidding! I would spend it writing. At least I would spend it thinking about writing.
