Going public

There is always a sequence. It seems like I have been waiting forever, but with the delivery of my books and the website updated to include the new cover, I finally felt it was time yesterday, to go public. Thank you so much Helen for all the work you have done on my website.

I wrote a small post on Facebook announcing my book, pushed post, and realised I had done it – that is, overcoming my fear about people knowing this side of myself. I must admit I did get the odd comment about `dark horse’ as a lot of people didn’t even know that I had written a book, let alone two. I had hidden that first one away due to my fears.

These had followed me into this life from my past, when I had been put to death because of my spirituality and my writing, multiple times. Since the book launch of Who is Me? two years ago, I have done more work on myself, to the point where these fears seem manageable. As I knew The Collective Us was nearly ready, I decided to wait for its launch, before I spiritually `came out’.

I have done so now.

I am still waiting for the Kindle and Amazon print on demand to be set up for The Collective Us, although Who Is Me? is already available on Amazon. So overseas buyers wanting this latest book will have to wait a little longer. I am having the book launch on September 4th. Now I am wondering, have I gone to the opposite extreme? It took me four years to have the book launch of Who Is Me? and for this book I am selling it before everything has been set up. I guess, this is a better way to be. After all, I have costs that need recouping, especially from that first book!

And I must admit it is nice receiving congratulations for the achievement, something that I didn’t get with the first one.
