Hoping for Laughter

With the release of my debut novel nearing, I've been in the clouds the last couple of weeks. I still can't believe it. Even after receiving my author copies, I am still in shock. I knew the cover was beautiful, but actually being able to see it in person and hold it in my hands makes it even more awesome.

And here is the obligatory photo of my books with posing kitty, which is an event in itself. Have you ever tried to get a cat to pose?


I was planning on writing a long, inspiring post about hope. However, I am the last person who should do that. I'm way too irreverent--and at times devilishly wicked. But there's one thing that I've discovered in my thirty-something years. Laughter, itself, inspires hope. Even in times of sadness, a little laughter can help lighten the mood. I think that's why my books tend to spring into the off-the-wall and wacky. I want to inspire people with humor. After all, laughter is the best medicine.

  3. What a gorgeous cover, and an even more gorgeous kitty! I only have dogs right now, and I miss cats.
    I agree with you about laughter! My books cover some fairly serious themesm but there's always humor there to liven things up.
    Best of luck with your new release!

  5. Congrats on your debut, Sidney! If you're anything like me, there was just something about opening that physical box of books that made the publishing experience seem more real.
