Today is an especially exciting day for me.

Diary of a Confessions Queen is officially released today! Yay! Here's a short blurb:

Confessions writer Amy Crosby has put her life on hold for the last seven years after the disappearance of her husband, Dan. In writing for "True Lies Magazine," guilt-ridden Amy takes on the abilities her fictional characters confess to, such as the time she thought she was psychic after researching clairvoyants. With fatalistic acceptance of the craziness in her life, she uses humor to cope; but when the home Dan bought for them is about to be foreclosed, her only answer is his having him declared legally dead and using his life insurance policy. Her home is safe--that is, until she receives a blackmail note. Equal parts mystery and humor, this novel is sure to keep readers guessing--and laughing--until the end.


I'm running a new contest on Fresh Fiction for a copy of Diary and a $25 pre-paid VISA card. Click here to enter.

And, last but not least, the radio play / action interview about Diary of a Confessions Queen starts airing today at 3:00 pm. It'll run throughout the month. Click here to listen!

May I just add: "Woot!"
