I simply cannot believe it! All this week, I've been living on a borrowed lease, hovering on clouds and then crashing to nothingness in the blink of an eye. Why?

Because it was the week of October 2!

Light My World came out yesterday, and Eirelander Publishing is officially in business!

I still think I'm dreaming. Throughout the past weeks, I've been dropping by here and looking at the counter on the right hand corner - the glowing blue numbers ticking down seconds, minutes, hours, days (oaky, lol, wasn't watching it that rabidly!). There was always a few days left, but today - today all I can see there is a display of fireworks that closely resembles that one in my own heart.

It's been a long time coming. Penning this ms almost 2 years ago, polishing it to make it shine, submitting, and then pulling it back to sit and wait because my heart and soul were telling me that THE opportunity would come, that I just had to have faith and wait.

At that same time, I submitted again, to a barely there and just-sketched small press called Eirelander Publishing. It was back in late 2008. Then somewhere in early 2009, I get a phone call from Lee Morris, owner and editor-in-chief of the press, who in her unmistakable Irish brogue, tells me she wants the book, and that she wants it to debut Eirelander too in the same go!

It's been like a dream since then, one I somehow couldn't really grasp was happening. It's strange, like you know it happened but it feels so unreal at the same time.

But now it's here, and my book is out into the world!

It's been getting a few good quips, that I thought I'd share with you.

The words of the editor-in-chief:

Light My World is a wonderful spin on Cinderella with a multicultural twist. Diya Hemant wants more out of life than marriage and children. Fate has other ideas. A series of fortunate mishaps will keep you turning the pages.

A review quip by author Belladonna Bordeaux:

A wonderful story of two ships meet and collide. I couldn't put it down. Diya is wonderfully fresh and Trent is drop-dead the man you want to have hit your rear bumper. Two thumbs up.

Here's where the book is available:

I'm so happy and excited, I just had to share! I hope you'll drop by and acquire a copy of Light My World! And if/when you do, please feel free to send me your comments.

Cheers and hugs!!
