Happy (2nd) Birthday Simplicity!!!!!

Hello lovelies,
Can you believe it? It's that time again!!! No, not Christmas, sheesh. Oh, wait, come back don't leave! Even though its not Christmas it's still a day of celebration!!! Simplicity (the new and revamped version) is out in the world today! 

Serious EXCITEMENT!!! 

You guys probably think I'm nuts, and that's okay with me. The thing is, which I've said before, Simplicity is my baby. I never thought she'll see the light of day or that I'd be sharing Alexis and Jake's story with anyone beside my immediate family. Sure, I had no idea what I was doing when I agreed to publish Simplicity or how the publishing world worked. But here's the thing, you live and you learn. 


Today, I am celebrating the fact that I LIVED and I LEARNED!

On the other hand, I'm feeling a bit like this...

My thoughts are: "What if no one reads it?" or "What if everyone hates it?" For me, it feels like Simplicity is out for the first time, taking those first steps, ever. 


What I'm trying to say is that even thought this is the re-release of Simplicity, it's important to me. I wanted to share that feeling of excitement and importance with you. Simplicity is not like the YA books I'm working on right now. It's a story, a romance, a journey of self discovery that we all go through even though we may not end up on a deserted island to do it. 

No, not that one! (However, I'm watching Lost for the first time ever. I'm on season 3 and LOVING it! No spoilers please) :-) 
But that's not the point. The point is, I hope you read Simplicity and I hope it touches your heart. 

You can get your own copy at Amazon! 

(please, pretty please, do ;-)

Hugs, 
Valia 


P.S. If you do purchase Simplicity, make sure to keep your receipt handy! The blog tour has some surprises in store for you :-) <3 <3 <3
