They are icons that changed many lives, including mine.

Rest in power and peace.

Diana Wynne Jones has passed.

Earlier, it was Elizabeth Taylor.

A week more before my book release. I have to admit, it's all so nerve-wracking. I feel.. I don't know what/how I feel. Only a gnawing fear/terror/joy/anxiety.

Great. Now I am tearing up. I feel so alone. I look at other authors and see their vocal fans. I just want to hide under the covers and fade into nothing. Maybe because I am a nothing in a big angry sea of somethings and Big Things. My YA fiction is such a failure. I am not sure about my Urban Fantasy...

There. Working out my anxiety...

So, how's everybody?
