You wouldn't think it if you met me, but I live in dread of human contact. I wil always been the shy girl from the beach, the square peg little ethnic girl in a world of blond round beautiful pegs. No matter how old I get, there are some things I can't move past. Part of what writing has done for me has made me less afraid to put myself out there. Still, I haven't done signings yet and suddenly I'm signed up for three. And because there is very little logic to some of my quirky phobias, I'm starting with a really scary event. Sexy in the City in May in New York City. That's pretty much terrifying for me on all levels. Then I'm off to Love N Books in Vegas in July. And I have one more event this fall that hasn't been announced so I'm not announcing it.
I live in dread of instantly shrinking, diminishing back in time to that girl at the HS dance who never got asked to dance. Sitting at a table with no one visiting me. But that's OK. For me the important thing is somehow a 1/2 century into my life, I've gotten up enough nerve not to hide and to attend these events. Releasing my books is a journey about so many other things than being a writer for me. It has been a very unrelenting teacher in learning how to no longer be afraid.
I wish you Peace.
