Check out my new book trailer. My husband is a genius. He spent hours upon hours making this for me and it looks like a paid professional did it. I just paid him with beer :-) Hope you like it!

Exciting Announcement

I am already on chapter 7 of the sequel to "As I Close My Eyes." My publisher wants the next book out by this Christmas. I better work a bit faster :-)

I'm finding that I'm so much more critical of myself this time around. I've learned so much since writing my first novel that I'm going over and over every single word and sentence in this second one. I guess that's what we, as writers do. I don't think I'll ever think anything I do is absolutely perfect. I'll always find something to change and there comes a point when you just have to stop and move on.

So, I'm hard at work on the sequel and if you were shocked at the ending, know that there was a reason - there's a #2!!!!

Got My First "Real" Review

I'm so excited because today I received my first review from a well-respected reviewer...well, that I know of. I have 21 reviews on Amazon and don't know who most of them are posted by.

She gave me a whopping 4 stars and I'm thrilled!!!!!!

Check out what she said about "As I Close My Eyes"" http://tiffanysbookshelf.blogspot.com/2012/08/as-i-close-my-eyes-by-sarah-dicello.html#

And after you finish my book, PLEASE place a comment on here and/or on my Facebook Author page (www.facebook.com/sarahdicelloauthor) and tell me what you want to read in the second book. Were there characters you'd like to see developed more in the second book? Were there questions you had that you absolutely need answers to in the next one?

What an awesome night. About 50 of my closest friends and family came out to support the launch of my book. Here's a photo with my book club (the awesome gals who threw the party for me)!

I have to confess, I did want to hide in the corner at first, but it was actually a blast and every one I met was genuinely excited for me.

Thanks to everyone who came!

Tonight is my launch party for my book. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I compare it to "coming out of the closet." I feel so naked and vulnerable. I've written this book and now people are actually going to read it - HOLY SHIT!!!!

I know some will love it and others will give me one star on Amazon and Goodreads and that's okay. Well, it's really not. I want everyone to love it.

I'll post photos this weekend of the party tonight sometime over the weekend.

#16 on the Charts

Yup...that's right. I'm #16 amongst the free Kindle downloads as of today. And #2 in historical romance as well as #4 in contemporary romance.

Thank you so very much to everyone who downloaded my book. It's truly more than I could have imagined and I'm so humbled by all of you who are reading it.

It's no longer my friends and family who have it in their hands. Please, if you like my book, write a review for me on Amazon.

Yippee!!! I got a contract!

I just signed with Taylor Street Books yesterday and am so excited to join their talented group of writers. Falling Again should debut on Amazon within the next few months and it all seems surreal to me. I've worked on this novel for the past two years and it will be very rewarding to see it come to life.

Here's my description on my pseudo back cover:

When Danielle Grayson closes her eyes at night, she awakes as Caroline Marcum. One minute, Danielle is an average 18-year-old living in present-day Georgia, and the next, she’s thrust into a world she has never seen before . . . or so she thinks. Night after night, Danielle travels in her sleep to a Victorian beach town where everything seems eerily familiar and acutely real.

She soon realizes that she’s dealing with something far greater than a simple dream when occurrences in her present-day life begin to duplicate themselves in her dreams.

Her connection to Caroline grows nightly. As the months progress, there are more questions than answers and Danielle’s constant obsession to figure out who Caroline is overtakes her every day life. She wonders how she could be living in two distinct time periods during the course of the same day.

Then Ben arrives. The moment Danielle sees him she realizes that she’s looked into those very same eyes as Caroline. The pieces of the puzzle are beginning to reveal their place in her shattered existence. Family and friends in her Georgian life exhibit the same characteristics as those she converses with as Caroline. 

Danielle begins to wonder how those closest to her got there in the first place. Have they been there forever?
