The Jezebel Files: Death & Desire Book Cover by Deborah Wilde

Launch days make me want to vomit. Yes, I want to share my baby with you all, but I also want to hide it, because it is really terrifying to put my words out in the world like that.

Death & Desire is my 9th Deborah Wilde book, so you’d think it gets easier, but nope. See, Nava was me, and Ash is me, and so with each book, I’m putting more of myself out there on display. It’s like that dream where you’re the only one naked and everyone is staring. Anyone else get that? No?

That said, at the same time, there is this giddiness to the day, because by the time it comes around, I have been waiting forever to share this story with you. I want to sit in all your rooms with you and ask “What did you just read?” every time you laugh. (Ask my husband. This is a real and, according to him, highly irritating habit of mine.)

So, I spend launch day feeling kind of high and kind of queasy. Also very relieved, because once it’s out there, it’s out there and I just have to keep moving forward.

If you haven’t had a chance to read book 1 yet – Blood & Ash, why not devour it this weekend?
