Blog Tour Recap (in other words, lots of babbling)
So, I really can’t believe that it’s been ten days already. All this planning, all the interviews and post and baam! Its over!
It was actually a bit weird seeing all this stuff about me and my book on the web. (That sounds funny). The ladies did a fabulous job, and I can’t be more thankful for them! I’m not sure what I wanted out of this tour. No, I take that back. I know what I wanted. I wanted you to get to know me a little and to get to know my book. Imagine that, right? I love hearing all the positive comments and all the love. I’m even thankful for the criticism. It makes me stronger, it makes me better.
Honestly, this post would not be complete without gifs. So, prepare yourself:
(Yes, that last one was just too funny not to share)
I’m working on a completely different kind of a story right now. My YA thriller is in serious editing stages and I’m excited to share that with you! I hope you come and visit my blog and keep up with me on twitter! If you ever have any questions, or just want to chat, stop by! I’ll be nice to you, I promise. Well, sometimes, maybe :-)

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.
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

Synopsis:
Driven, beautiful Alexis Sinclair lives her life to the fullest, following her dreams of running a big company. But when her world is torn apart by a storm, everything she has ever known disappears. Now, marooned on an island with a group of men, Alexis must learn to live in a world made up of simple things. Letting go of every known convenience, she realizes how insignificant her life has become. Filled with unrequited love for her rescuer she must battle the demons buried deep inside and she must look within herself and to her faith to find the strength needed to survive. Strong and influential, Jacob Peterson, has done all he can to survive. When the fate turned its tables on him, he learned to cope with the inevitable. Plagued by his past and secrets buried there, Jacob exerts a rigid control, refusing to succumb to the joys, and torturous pain, of strong emotions. Without considering love-a gift he may never receive, he believes--he chooses to live by strict set of rules. But when a strange beautiful woman washes up on his beach, the walls that he has put up long ago begin to crumble. Is she a punishment sent from God to torment his weary soul? Or is she a gift, sent from above, there to teach him how to trust? Who is this woman? And how will he stop himself from losing his heart? Will he learn to forgive the past in order to save the woman he loves?
What do you think? Are you excited? I'm excited!
Much love,
Valia
