The Asset is now live on Amazon. What a wonderful milestone in this awesome adventure. For me, celebrations are all about being thankful. So I want to celebrate the launch of The Asset by thanking everyone who’s been a vital part of this journey.
From beginning to end publishing a novel is a team sport and I’ve got some of the best players ever in my corner. I’m greatly indebted to my personal editor, the amazing Nancy Cassidy, who read through the first drafts of this novel and led me with great wisdom and incredible generosity all the way to Carina’s doors.
At Carina Press, I had the enormous good fortune of landing on the desk of Kerri Buckley, editor extraordinaire, multitasking queen of the writing universe and precision surgeon of the story. Without Kerri, I’d be going in circles. I’m also thankful to Heather Goldberg, Stephanie Doig and all the folks at Carina whose talents and contributions I sincerely appreciate. Angela James, Kerri Buckley and the team at Carina Press represent everything that’s right, fun and inspiring about writing and the publishing industry. I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and enthusiasm.
I also want to thank my online publicist, Aileen Aroma and her team of dedicated promoters for helping me navigate the world of Facebook, Twitter and online promotion. Thanks guys! You are all awesome. Special thanks to my amazing website designer, Chris Bowyer, who managed the setup despite my technological disabilities. Thanks for your patience, Chris!
My gratitude also to all the bloggers and avid readers who read or are currently reading The Asset’s galleys. Special thanks for all those great early reviews you guys posted on Goodreads and Amazon. Early reviews make a huge difference to a new author and give a new novel a push. Thank you so much for giving me a chance.
I’d be remiss not to gush about the usual suspects: my parents, who gifted me with the joy of reading; my sisters, who bring laughter to my life; my friends, whose support means so much to me; my children, who are the inspiration for everything I do; and my husband, who is always willing to grab the helm and steer the ship to port when I go MIA. I’m blessed with their love.
And now…if you haven’t done so yet, go get The Asset!
