I can't imagine what willpower it took not to talk about the book, but I think with so many recent books getting so much hype over the premise, and not always delivering, it seems much smarter to keep the mystery alive, and let the reader form their opinion as they read the book, and not before. Also, the cover is beautiful. Lucky! ;)<br /><br />Good luck with everything, Myra!

You're right, though... a lot of writers look at *sales and marketing* like they're four letter words... that "craft is king" and it IS... totally is. But there's nothing wrong with finding creative ways to get the word out.
