Book Launches, that’s what she said…
…since I am going to be releasing some new work in the near future, I have been filling in the gaps of my time with things like listening to Youtube vids and reading blogs about book launches.

I wake up with music running through my head sometimes…I think, it has to be a form of insanity to either wake up hearing music, or wake up hearing voices!
