My first reading from Black Diamond is this weekend. I can't help but feel my stomach turn in knots anticipating what readers will think. I'm practicing my pacing and dictation. I'm trying different voices (and I must admit that I suck at trying to sound like Talib). Basically, I'm driving myself cuckcoo cover this reading.
I always knew I would have to do this, I've done it before but reading from this book will be interesting. I take comfort in knowing that this particular scene is not graphic but it usually causes the reader to gasp--I like that...(::laughing::).
Anyway...before I have a revisit from my fluttering friends, it made me wonder. Would you like to hear me read an excerpt from Black Diamond? Let me know. I'm sure you all can't jump on a plane and visit me in Houston. So tell me, would you?
As I wait...and please take your time...(::smile::)...I look forward to sharing the first of my public pieces with you here. I will also reveal a nice gift for your during Read an eBook Week.
