Eight weeks to plan, write, edit and produce a book. Wow! Busy few weeks, I can tell you! The book launch is looming, only a few days before the speech begins. I'm not a public speaker, not about my own work anyway. This speech could be the most grueling aspect! It's only five minutes sure, five very long minutes, of fumbling over words and sweat. Buckets of sweat. Not to mention the blushing, lighting the room like a beacon.
Oh, for any crime lovers find my book at blurb.com, then search my book Ann-Marie Fleming, The Scenic Route.
A quick synopsis: Julia Penn is an ice cream munching criminal detective. Sent to Rome to solve a murder, where Julia faces drugs and sexism. Will she solve the crime? Or are the limits of the law too much?
It's a short novel, I had a word limit. I would have preferred a longer first novel, but what an experience! An article is due in my local paper, pretty crazy really. Crazy to think of myself as a small time author.
Once this book launch is out of the way I may consider a new project.Perhaps another Penn novel, a longer, more advanced one.
Penn: The Criminal Series will be cool...hmmm...Much work to do if that were ever to be the case.
Until then, I'm a blogger and proud.
