I was recently asked in an author interview from Omnific who was my favorite character to write in Trust and it was, hands down, Jade. She was awful, rotten, nasty, unfiltered and delicious. Whenever I knew I had a Jade scene coming up, I couldn’t wait to dig in and see what would happen next. Writing her was fun because she said what she thought, good, bad or ugly, without holding back and for someone like me, who is very cautious with her words (especically when I’m angry) it was an interesting change of pace to get inside the head of someone who would never think to edit her words. Jade would never walk away from a conversation or an argument and think to herself, “Oh, I should have said this or that” because that’s not her style. If she thought it, she said it. She’s the epitome of someone you love to hate – that’s Jade for me. In honor of the twisted supermodel, I made a poll for those of you who have finished the book and I’m really interested to see what the results will be. Feel free to explain your vote in the comments section of this post too or drop me a line if you want to.

Trust in Advertising – available now in Print or ebook and for Kindle!

I received reports on Saturday that copies of Trust in Advertising have started arriving in mailboxes! My mailman was even kind enough to leave me a package. Sounds like the books are on their way and it shouldn’t be much longer now, so keep your eyes open.

For those of you overseas who have ordered it, I understand your books have a much longer trip to make, but at least you know they’ve begun their journey.

I have to admit it’s a very surreal and overwhelming experience to hold a book you have written in your  hand. Even though you’ve spent the last few months going over every letter in the thing, in many ways, it’s like you’re seeing it for the first time because it’s so different when it’s bound and on paper, versus illuminated print on your computer screen. All those small details you worried about, come together to make the book what it is. I mean really, who would believe the book spine or the interior title page of a book could reduce someone to tears?

Thanks to everyone who has tweeted and retweeted about Trust in Advertising or left a review for the book on Goodreads and Amazon! If you review it on your blog, let me know so I can link the post here and people can check out your site.

I can’t believe it’s August already! Where did the summer go? If you’re like me, the next few weeks will be spent getting the kids ready for school – that dreaded back to school shopping. I hope everyone manages to squeeze in some last minute fun and enjoy yourselves and your families!

Have a great day!
