I danced
with your
dreams
and forgot
I had some
of my own.

Since I shared it on my twitter, I figured why not share it here too? Back when I was trying to figure out my cover art for The Fool, I thought I might attempt to make it myself. You know. Save some money. Practice my limited skills.
Initially I was working with an image of a woman in a sheer mask, who eventually became my model for Delia’s mask. However, as my man so lovingly put it:
It looks like you just took a stock image and added text on it.
Which I did. But I didn’t want it to look like that was all I did…
So this post is about a year old, maybe more, but seeing as my old blog is officially dead and buried, I thought it warranted sharing again. The point of it is to help others going in for surgery based on my experience.
December 2014 marks the month I went in for a laparoscopic cystectomy. It was a out-patient procedure (aka no overnight stay) to remove cysts from my ovaries (one had actually disappeared on its own, finally, by the time the surgeon got in there, but he was still thorough).
At the time, I was told it was a fairly basic procedure (and it is, in a way), and some medical websites/articles said I’d be back on my feet in a few days.
LIES. FALSE. Please don’t believe any of that. Everyone recovers at their own pace. I took two weeks off from work and I wish I’d taken three. The first week my Man still needed to help me on and off the toilet because I couldn’t lift myself. So. Keep that in mind.
So, here’s the post I wrote a month after my surgery. Hope it’s helpful for anyone facing a similar situation in the near future!

I hope 2016 is treating you fabulously. Just a quick reminder that The Fool will be priced at $0.99 after tomorrow, so if you want to grab your free copy, do it now!
January 18th will have the Amazon version ready to go, also $0.99. if you’d like to help me out with rankings and such, feel free to place your pre-order and have it delivered to your Kindle on the 18th. I’ve been really touched by my reviews for this little novella. People seem so excited for the next book, aka The King, and I can’t wait to share it with you all toward the end of this year!

When I first started reading Captured, I genuinely enjoyed it. I was able to ignore the editing issues and just lose myself in the story. It had this nostalgic feel for me, like something I’d read before and was super comfortable with. I liked it. Definitely.
And then the romance kicked in…
