I've technically been an author since Feb of 2011. At a conference I learned there is a distinct difference between writers and authors. That difference is authors are published and writers aren't yet. While my first books released were  Familial Witch, then Caffe' Seduzione and I was thrilled. Both were limited to eBooks for reasons that my publishers and I both agreed upon.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE eBooks. As a reader and an author I'm thrilled with the invention. They are by far simply positive. As an author I make more money. As a reader I don't have to wait as long for releases or to purchase the book, and they are cheaper.


But recently I recognized that the print version is still special. Glazier released this week in print. There were several friends and family waiting to buy it so I was making the rounds of phone calls. When Gretchen posed this question.

"Do you feel like a real author now?"

(That's Gretchen for ya you call her to share amazing news and a simple question from her provokes hours of soul searching, deep thought, and reflection)

I immediately said I've always felt like a real author. Nevertheless, there is a sense of triumph when you hold the print version of your novel in your hands. As you turn the pages with your thumb, see your name and the title running down the spine, rub your cheek along....Oh sorry. (blushes) Anyways it was amazing in a word. So without further ado I present Glazier in print form. Now buy away and then review.

What say you other authors is print still special to you?
