Last night I stayed up with a Pal drinking wine and chatting. I didn't want to miss it. #blogging #amwriting #indieauthor #romance #authors

The Siganture, the book that sat in my computer for fourteen years, was selling well yesterday. I thought, oh crap I could make Amazon Best Selling List in Romance. I didn't want to fall asleep and miss it. If you are an Indie author, you understand. Things move fast in the Indie world. One moment on list and the next moment who knows.

The first three months of self-releasing I really didn't plan anything I did. I  just sort of followed a crazy release schedule and sent my work out. I really debated releasing this book. It's clean romance and the market is so complicated now. I didn't know if there was even a place for it.

Last weekend I was chatting with some gal pals and they were telling me I needed to change the cover. I admit, not a very good cover. But this book I released because it's special to me,  I didn't think it would sell, and it definitely falls into my early phase of making mistakes. One of my pals texted me last night: Imagine how well it would be doing if it had a nice cover.

Laughing.

I wish my mom didn't have dementia and could understand when I call her to tell her, "Mom The Signature made a best selling list."

It's funny. No matter how old we are, in all moments we still want to run first to our mothers and say I did it.
