Does It Get Easier?

I'm starting to get REALLY antsy now that Lore is only a week away!

People often ask me, "Does each release get easier, or harder?"

Well…I have two answers for that. Yes, and no.

Yes, because I've been through it now, several times. I know what to expect. I know there will be people who like the new book, and there will be those who don't. I'll get good reviews and bad ones. Every bad review toughens my hide a little, and every good one raises my spirits. It's all getting to be very familiar.

And no, because with every release, there's more pressure. The things that run through an author's mind: What if people who have loved the other books hate this one? What if I let readers down? What if this book totally tanks and my career is over? And yes, you think these things with the very first books, but with each one that comes after that, the pressure mounts.

So yes and no. Either way, I wouldn't give it up. A new release might be nerve-wracking, but it's also exciting, and the rush is like nothing else. :nowink:

And…speaking of good reviews, over at Lea's, she's got a FANTASTIC review of Ecstasy Unveiled, as well as a giveaway (open to international readers! :grin: ) that includes demon duckies!!! So head on over and say hi!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

    I keep reading that people have picked up Ecstasy Unveiled already from Wal-Mart. My Wal-Mart never even has the books on release day :sad: . I will wait like a good demon lover for next week :tongue: .

    Ooh – can’t wait for this book . . . more Shade, Wraith & Eidolon – squeeee! Tis a great rush as a reader to finally anticipate the Postman arriving, opening the parcel, oohing over the cover and then diving back in to the Demonica world! :grin:
