The day after a book release.... ...is a mixture of breathing deeply again and panic. Whew! The rush is over, I can get up from the couch, I can stop obsessively watching the Amazon ranking fall, rise, fall, rise (dang it, quit rising!) But none of it stops. None of it is over. You still worry "Did I do enough to market it? Is there something I'm missing? Why did so-and-so hit #49 when you hit #12049?

Off the Beaten Path with Pamela Morsi!
Here we are again at Off The Beaten Path! A once-a-month opportunity to get to know a very special romance or women’s fiction author, in a fun and hopefully interactive way. We all like to get to know our favorite authors a little better, and I want to make that fun for everyone. This month, I’m so excited to have the fabulous Pamela Morsi here!! Pam and I were separated at birth—I’ve decided this. We both love to write about small towns, we have a similar writing style in my opinion (or maybe wishful thinking), and we both have the most unappealing brutal writing process EVER. And I ...
