Last week was one of those weeks. You know, one of those weeks where you aren't sure if it's real. One of those weeks where you're sure someone, somewhere made a HUGE mistake to your great benefit. One of those weeks that you never want to end. My debut novel was released. I had my very first signing (alongside Matt Coyle and Darrell James) at The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, to which my Writer Sisters and our mentor, Les Edgerton flew in from far off places (South Carolina and Colorado are pretty far away...). I received some fabulous reviews... and I contracted salmonella. Food poisoning aside, it was a week dreams are made of.
GREAT panel discussion with Matt Coyle and Darrell James |

and this one from Library Journal... http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/2013/05/books/genre-fiction/mystery/mystery-debut-of-the-month-may-1-2013/
I feel like a kid at Disneyland who just got off the Teacups--giddy, dizzy and kinda nauseous .. but ready to do it all over again!
Maegan Beaumont is the author of CARVED IN
DARKNESS, the first book in the Sabrina Vaughn thriller series (Available
through Midnight Ink, spring 2013). A native Phoenician, Maegan’s stories are
meant to make you wonder what the guy standing in front of you in the Starbucks
line has locked in his basement, and feel a strong desire to sleep with the
light on. When she isn’t busy fulfilling her duties as Domestic Goddess for her
high school sweetheart turned husband, Joe, and their four children, she is
locked in her office with her computer, her coffee pot and her Rhodesian
Ridgeback, and one true love, Jade.

Yay! There is NO better feeling for a writer than when that debut novel comes out. Enjoy the ride, Maegan. (Yikes, salmonella? not so enjoyable!) Lucky you to do your first signing with Darrell, one of the nicest guys in the book biz. I don't know Matt, but I'm sure he's wonderful, too. Happy for you....
Thank you so much, Deborah!
Both Darrell and Matt were phenomenal! I was so lucky to share the day with such talented writers!
Congratulations, Maegan!!!
thank you, Beth! :)
