My new book comes out in 4 weeks. Squee!

Four weeks might seem like a long time but I know the time will go by faster than I can blink.  In the meantime, I have a lot to get done. I’m going on a blog tour this summer (locations and dates to be posted soon) which means I have a lot of Q&As to fill out and a lot of blogs to get written. I’m also doing a Fast Draft course right now.

If you’re a writer and you’ve never heard of Fast Draft, let me fill you in. It’s an invention of writer Candace Havens. Basically, you try to write 20 pages a day for 14 days (think drastic, like  Atkins Diet or Cabbage Soup diet) only you’re not starving your body, you’re draining your creative juices to get the story out as quickly as possible. The end result being you should have a basic dirty draft of your story that you can build on.

This is day 4 and so far I’ve failed dismally on the 20 page daily goal but I’m really going to try to get my butt in gear and let loose today.

Oh, and about that new release of mine. Don’t forget to pre-order my book. Pre-orders are so very important to an author (especially if you want to stay published!)

Here are some pre-order links: Amazon , Barnes & Noble

You can also read the first chapter right here.

If you order my book and would like an autographed book plate, please email me at mariageraci1@gmail.com  and I’ll be happy to mail you one!
