You guys, I am so nervous right now, my insides are all aflutter.
It’s release day for Once Upon A Twelfth Night.
I should be excited, and I am, but I’m also incredibly nervous. I mean, it’s my first published work other than flash fiction and it TERRIFIES ME! I should be shouting from the rooftops that I have a book out. I should be plastering that cover all over social media.
Instead, I want to crawl under the covers to hide.
Is this what Imposter Syndrome is?
I was thinking of taking the day off from the Day Job to celebrate, but I didn’t. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I had. What would I have to distract me? For my writer friends who have published before, tell me it’s not always like this? Tell me the next time won’t be so nerve wracking. That it gets easier to handle with each susequent book, because I don’t know if I can take it! lol
I promise to believe you if you lie…

Ruination of a Rogue by Clair Brett… Will Lord Zander Milford find rumination an acceptable outcome if only at the hands of Miss Maria Lightowler?
It Was Only a Kiss by Sofie Darling… Snow falling, the Twelfth Night Ball, a stolen kiss—but no one would’ve expected bespectacled spinster Violet Hotchkiss to be the one stealing a kiss from Bumpstead Hollow’s most eligible bachelor, Will Sinclair. And now that she’s had a taste of passion, she refuses to settle for a life without romance, adventure…or Will.
Christmas Chase by A.S. Fenichel… Sarah Sommers has a plan—find the father who abandoned her and live happily ever after as his beloved daughter. Not even the handsome Lord Monty Witmore with his determination to deliver her to yet another guardian will stop her. Her heart, however, has other ideas about where the chase will end…
Twelve Nights of Ruin by Carrie Lomax… Holly Mayweather was the delight of London society–until her reputation was tarnished by a shocking scandal. Can the spirited beauty find happiness with William Sharp, a stoic former soldier? Or will their wedding vows end with “I don’t”?
What If I Still Love You by Erica Taylor… After a failed elopement ten years earlier, Henry, Earl of Eddington, and Anna, the widowed Viscountess Newcroft, are reunited at his aunt’s Twelfth Night party. As they search the castle for a box of letters left to Henry by his late father, can this star-crossed pair find their way back to each other? Or will fate intervene, again, and separate them for good?
Three Kisses Before Christmas by Tanya Wilde… Wolfstan Robert Ward, the Earl of Wicke and Selborne, lost his head for his best friend’s sister the day he saved her from a frightful bully in their youth. There is just one problem. Rebecca is in love with another man—his cousin. Winning her would take every trick in the book, but what is Christmas if not a time for miracles?
