I remember the weeks before my first son’s birth. The preparation. The excitement. The nervousness. Making sure the Winnie-the-Pooh mobile animals were positioned just right above the crib. Organizing “Goodnight Moon” and “Guess How Much I Love You” carefully on the top of the bookshelf. Reading all I could on the birthing process and what those first few weeks with our baby would be like.
Still, nothing quite prepared me for the actual, beautiful experience.
In some ways, releasing and launching a book into the world feels like giving birth again. The feelings of excitement and nervousness. The wondering. The anticipation.
As we prepare for the release of The Edge of Mercy in just FIVE DAYS, I am definitely in a sort of nesting routine as I think about those of you who will read this new novel in the coming weeks. Trying to make sure everything is just right, and yet knowing there will be surprises (I’m hoping good ones!) along the way.
