30 Day Blog Challenge: Day One

So, I have decided to take the 30-Day blog challenge to give my readers and fellow authors a glimpse into who I am and, perhaps, get to know me a little better.

Some of the posts will be simple. Other ones... well... not so much.

Today's challenge is to post a picture of myself and tell you about my day.

Well, as many of you already know, today was the official release of "Hook's Little Mermaid" on Audible.

Though it has been out for a while, I had never taken the time to official launch it and introduce it to the readers.  I can say that the launch was successful, however the day didn’t start out that way!

First thing in the morning, I get an email from Facebook telling me that the ads I set up to advertise the release were not active because there was something wrong with the payment. However, nothing had changed. It was the payment method I had already used, there was money in the back. I couldn’t’ figure it out (and we all know how hard it is to figure out how to contact Facebook about any issue).

Then there was my Rafflecopter giveaway. I wanted to give readers and fans a chance to win some great “Hook’s Little Mermaid” items. Everything was running smooth until it wasn’t! The stupid Rafflecopter kept crashing and I couldn’t figure out why. It was working for some people but not all.

After contacting support and waiting… and waiting… my husband took me shopping.

I got some new shoes and some new Harley Quinn memorabilia to add to my collection (that’s just a glimpse of it behind me in the picture).

When I got home, the kinks had been worked out and “Hook’s Little Mermaid” was actually number 2 on Audible’s Hot New Releases for teens!

That being said, it was a good day. Sure there were some bumps in the road, but it turned out great in the end.
