You Mean…People Are Going To Read It?
Yeah, obviously. You get a book published people are going to read it. Well, you hope they are. You really want them to. I really want them to. But actually knowing people are, maybe at this moment, reading what you’ve written? Yikes!
This week, some of the UK book club subscribers received His Virgin Acquisition in with their monthly orders, and the reality is now hitting. People are really reading my book.
It’s the most thrilling, frightening, awesome thing ever. Thrilling? Yep. You better believe it. Frightening? How can it not be? Awesome? Dude. So awesome. 🙂
So far, the two people I’ve heard from who have read it were very nice and told me they enjoyed the book, which really, really made my day. I have so much fun writing these books, and the characters mean so much to me. I want to share their stories as best as I can, and I want people to love them too. Or at least like them as a friend. I’ll take what I can get. 😉
But yay! Massive rejoicing! My very first book is in book form! (I haven’t seen it yet…but I’m expecting author copies soonish). People are reading it! *pants* I need to go lie down…

They’ll love it. The Sisters are never wrong. 🙂
This is true. Never mess with The Sisters. 😉
Yay! Congrats! Such exciting news 🙂
Yeah, I’m all kinds of excited. 🙂
Ooh does that mean its available on ebook already too? I’m going to go hunt!! I can’t wait to read it!
Rach, you’re too sweet! I *think* it will be available in ebook on the M&B site at least by July 6th…
Bugger it! I’ll have to wait a few more weeks 🙁
I can’t wait to get my hands on it! Will let you know when it pops through the door – I’m sure there will be a trumpet fanfare or something like that!
Rach, I’m honored. 😉
Joanne, trumpet and fanfare! I am not worthy!! *bows and scrapes* but I appreciate the drama. 😉 But, Elaine’s not big into that sort of thing. Though, Marco might arrange it to irritate her…
Congrats Maisey, I’m going to buy my copy as soon as I see it on the shelves. Just think “lovely author royalties!” I saw you’d written on eharlequin that you’re working on book No4. Well done! I thought you had a 3 book contract – does that mean you’ve got another one?
Thanks Susan! (I think we were commenting at almost the exact same time!!) (trust me…I am thinking royalties!! My poor husband has worked so hard, more than one job, for years now and I’m so pleased he’s down to one just because of advances!!)
Contracts, my first contract was a two books, which covered His Virgin Acquisition and A Mistake, A Prince And A Pregnancy. And after that I had a four book, which I’m two and a half books into. 😉 And after that…I really hope I get another one!!
You will get another contract, Maisy. And by that time, we’ll have 6 Maisey Yates sitting on our keepers shelves. Wow, 6. (fans herself) Are you going for 30 by the time you’re 30?
Thirty by thirty?? There’s a daunting thought, Sally. 😉 Thanks for the confidence. 😀
Congrats Maisey,best of luck with the books.
Wow!!
Four books – Maisey – whatever vitamins you’re taking, we want them! You are on a roll.
Well Done! And what an inspiration to us all.
Jo Terrero sent me here from our network and we are absolutely thrilled for you. I can’t wait to get my sticky fingers on your first book.
I have been following you since your first ‘call’ story on HQ. There is no doubt that you are a generous, disciplined and hard working lady with a real love and feel for what you do.
Hugs,
Christine
Welcome, Christine! Vitamins huh…maybe I should sell snake oil on the side…LOL. It’s caffeine. Starbucks is my drug. 🙂 And I think being as busy as I am, with the three little ones, just has me going with lots of momentum. 🙂 Truthfully, writing is my relaxing time, so on my writing days it’s like leisure time.
Glad you’re looking forward to His Virgin Acquisition. I can’t wait to get MY sticky fingers on it. And then my kids will get their sticky fingers on it…
