As I’m closing in on finalizing the detailse necessary to get CROSSFIRE released into the wild, I’m also thinking about everything that goes into the whole process. There’s a lot of work to do. Preparations to be made. Calculations of time, money, and effort. Books don’t magically appear with the wave of a wand or the muttering of a spell. Oh, but I wish I were a book witch!
No matter how hard you work, prepare, or calculate, Silver, the final ingredient necessary to leap hurdles and manifest dreams will always come down to a little spark of magic that no amount of physical maneuvering can ensure.
While simply remembering that you’re not alone, can.

The Universe knows that it does take some magic to get a book into the hands of readers. And that means all kinds of magic–from the imagination an author uses to turn a dream into a reality to the technological magic that comes with computers, the internet, and digital publishing. As I continue conjuring the magic, I’ll make certain that things work the way they should, the I’m prepared, and my calculations are complete. I plan on making certain that CROSSFIRE is the best book I can put out. And when it releases, I’ll be flicking my Bic and holding it up like we used to do at concerts when the band played their power ballad. Writers, does any of this ring true for you? Readers, do you find magic in reading a book?
