Today, I’m guest blogging about my first sale over at Dear Author. The gals over there are also doing a review and a video review today since Karma Girl was their book club pick for May. Thank you, Jane and Jayne!

In related news, I’ll be doing three booksignings Saturday. I’ll try to post some pictures to the blog next week.

From 10 a.m.-noon, I’ll be at the Thomas Memorial Branch Library in Bluff City, Tenn.

From 1-3 p.m., I’ll be at Barnes & Noble in Johnson City, Tenn.

From 4-6 p.m., I’ll be at Mountain Empire Comics in Bristol, Tenn.

Hope to see you there! 😎

Karen Healey over at Girls Read Comics was nice enough to interview me regarding Karma Girl and all the super craziness that’s in it.

There’s also a review of the book posted over there. Go check them out! 😎

Karma Girl has been officially released! Hooray!

It’s been a long, hard road to get to this point. There are so many people out there who have helped me along the way, from my significant other and family, to friends, to my editor and agent, to everyone who read and critiqued the book, to all the other writers who have answered my never-ending questions. Thank you all. Book lovers are some of the best people in the world.

And for all you folks out there who haven’t sold yet, keep this in mind: I wrote six books over a period of about seven years before Karma Girl sold. In other words, don’t give up. Keep writing and keep getting better, and it’ll happen for you one day too.

And don’t let anyone tell you that you are wasting your time. Even if your work never sells, writing still feeds your soul — and that really is the most important thing. If it makes you happy, do it — no matter what anyone else thinks. To quote Galaxy Quest … Never give up, never surrender!

If anyone out there sees Karma Girl on their bookstore shelves, I’d love to hear about it. I’d also love to hear what you guys think of it — what you liked, what you didn’t like. Give me some feedback! Send me an e-mail at jennifer@jenniferestep.com.

Happy reading!
