Final Day Before Launch! The Dress Rehearsal



As a vocalist and live theatre performer, I've survived countless dress rehearsals.  Typically they don't go well.  Lighting issues, missing props, forgotten lines, technical glitches, production challenges and a myriad of unexpected obstacles. Yet inevitably a not-so-great dress rehearsal is a sure sign for a fabulous opening night.  If this is a metaphor for an author's final day before the launch of her debut novel, then I'm ready for tomorrow!  Today was a terrible day.  Disappointments, delays, and discouraging news.  But that's the publishing business and the realities of launching a debut novel.  That's life sometimes.  But the show must go on and so will the book launch!  Lights....camera...action! Tomorrow I bring you "Stelladaur: Finding Tir Na Nog"!
