I’m so excited that Not the Billionaire is HERE! I started writing Sebastian & Genevieve’s story last fall for NaNoWriMo, all the while thinking it would be a Valentine’s Day release. It’s funny, because I actually put it up for preorder before I’d even finished the first draft, which is something I have NEVER done before. I usually have the draft written and have gone through it at least once before deciding whether or not to do a preorder. In this case, it ended up being the fuel that kept the edits on this book going. And, as often happens, life got in the way a bit. We had a family vacation, and I did take a little time most mornings to work on the book but did not get as much done as I wanted and was starting to feel behind. Then, we traveled to Indianapolis for my daughter’s gymnastics meet, which also happened to be the same weekend my dad was scheduled to have surgery there. He ended up being in the hospital longer than anticipated (within the normal range for his surgery, though), so it worked out for me to stay in Indy with my mom for a few days so she wouldn’t have to be alone. It ended up being like a little writing getaway. I got a bunch of editing done and was able to send the book off to my critique team just a couple days past when I had originally wanted to get it to them. That was a month ago. So this past month has been tons of last minute edits before finally getting the formatting done for eBook and paperback. I guess I work okay under pressure. 😉
Last year, when I released Another June with You, I did not do a preorder and did sort of a quiet launch. No release date announced, just finished the edits, formatted, and put it live on Amazon. That was an entirely different experience. No deadline meant less pressure, but it also meant some days I had to make myself work on the edits. That can be a long and sometimes tedious process, so not having any deadline slowed that whole process down.
This time around, I am amazed that I got it all done in a month’s time, happy that it’s out for Valentine’s Day, just like I wanted it to be, and excited for you to read it.<3
Happy reading, everyone!
Not the Billionaire is a sweet, clean billionaire romance. Book One of the series.
