Big Happy Dance going on in my office! Yes my first release from 5 Prince Publishing has just been sent to the Amazon and BN worlds of Kindle and Nook! Within the next day or so you'll be able to find the Regular Strength Romance version of THE EXECUTIVE'S DECISION! In the next week we will launch the ebook versions of the same title in the Sweetened Version (a PG version.) The final preview of the print book was handed over and we should be seeing the printed versions hit the shelves in the next 2 weeks.
This has been a journey that has taught me SO much! I could never have made this transition without my husband, my kiddos, my family, and last, but certainly not least, my editor! She has been my rock!
I'll post again when I know they are up for sure!
Happy Reading!

For Those Interested!
The first ARC copies of The Executive's Decision are on their way. What a joy this is for me, as you can imagine!!! It will be available soon in both Regular Strength and a Sweetened Version for those who like their romance with just a little less spice :)

Patience and More Patience
I am the mother of 5 young boys. I know patience. I am an author. Waiting for a book to release requires patience. Having a hand in the publishing process, now again, I'm glad I have patience.
Life is funny how it twists and turns. You have your schedule, your editor and your beta readers have theirs. Sometimes they meld and sometimes they clash. The worst part is you never know when that clash will happen.
The Executive's Decision is currently in the process of being reviewed by the printer. Already the cover has come back twice. The editing was bumped around because of Karate testings, the death of my grandmother and my editor's grandmother too, misc. travels that came about, and last but certainly not least my head injury I sustained just last week which makes computer work much harder. But in the end we have the very best work coming out for my readers in just a few weeks. And with this being the debut book for my publishing house I could not be more proud. I will admit, this rates right up there with the birth of my children. In a way I suppose it is just that, another child. I created it. I molded it. I named it. I've labored over it. And soon I will cradle it in my arms and share my joy with the world. (And then they too can cradle it in their arms.)
The publishing world over the years has certainly tested my patience, but I think I've learned so much and am a better person, author, and publisher because of it.
Happy Reading!
