Let's Do Launch


The launch date for Mr. Darcy Takes the Plunge is almost here, and I’ve been reflecting on my decision to name this website/blog ‘Pride and Pre-jitters’.  The months have certainly flown by since then and a lot has obviously happened.  Yet, even now, on the eve of the book’s official release, proud and jittery are still apt descriptions of my state of mind.  I cannot wait to actually see Mr. Darcy Takes the Plunge on a bookstore shelf.  Yet wait I must.  Although it may appear in USA stores starting tomorrow, my book won’t be available in Canadian shops for a while yet due to a recent printer and distributor switchover.  However, Mr. Darcy Takes the Plunge is available through various on-line sites, and you should also be able to order it as an ebook now. 
 

Here’s a link to my publisher’s blog post regarding their first year, tomorrow’s launch, and their plans for 2011.


My sincere thanks to those who have already purchased Mr. Darcy Takes the Plunge.
