3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Blastoff!

Today is Launch Day (in my head; it's been up for a day or two) for ROCKET MAN!

What does that mean? Well, of course it means the book is available everywhere. (Correction: ALMOST everywhere. If you're an iBooks person & just totally want it RIGHT NOW, leave me a comment below. I'll alert you when it's up & also if you're the first person to comment, I'll give you a copy free.) (That free copy thing applies to all formats. Know what? It's launch day, I'm feeling dandy - first three comments get a free ebook.) (I'm feeling dandy, and also like I wish people would comment. I love reader comments.)

What else the launch means:
  • My super cover & illustration (not MY cover & illustration, those I paid for) & awesome formatter have all pulled together to make ROCKET MAN look gorgeous. 
  • People are buying the book, and most of them aren't even my mom! (Hi, Mom!) (Mom bears no resemblance to Serena's mom, for the record.)
  • I'm shivery-nervous, although the first review was a good one, so that's exciting & encouraging.
  • I'm prided up to my priding bone (that's an inside joke I just let out) that I managed so many moving parts to the non-book-writing aspects of self-publishing. I've learned so much! The next book will be easy to publish!
  • I'll be going on a bit about this book on FB & Twitter & elsewhere on the web. Marketing types will tell you it's because I'm trying to build buzz for my book. I'll tell you it's really because I'm too giddy to shush, or talk about much else right now. (I promise I'll go on about how cute my dog is soon. Because she really, really is.)
So, when you see me out & about online today, wave. (Or, you know - comment, tweet, thumbs-up, etc.) I'm delighted to be sharing ROCKET MAN with you, and the whole wide world, as well.

Congratulations on your book launch, Melanie! Your book sounds adorable and fun and just the sort of engaging read I love to lose myself in. I don't fault you at all for being excited! Best of luck! :)

Congrats Mel. Can't wait to read it once I've finished the latest J.K. Rowling. :-)

Thanks, Sarah! Now, don't let Rowling's comments about self-pub authors with excruciatingly worded blogs stop you from appreciating me. :-)
(Actually, I suspect I know just where she was coming from there & I don't exactly run counter to her views. But it was funny to read that part of her book as I prepared ROCKET MAN for publication.)

Anyway, email me with what format you'd like & I'll send you a copy!

-Mel
