A New Chapter

Posted by Christie Kelley May 16 2012, 11:58 pm

I’m starting a new chapter. Not in a book but in life. I haven’t made a general announcement until now but just over a year ago, my husband asked for a divorce. Needless to say, it was a tough thing to go through, but I’m not looking for sympathy because I quick discovered how much happier I was without him.

So now that the divorce is finalized, I believe it’s time to move on. It’s time to write a new chapter in my life.

I’m not dating yet but that’s mostly because I just don’t have the time for a relationship. I work full time and have my 15 yr old with me 3-5 days a week. The other days are for writing and attempting to keep up with the house and yard. I barely have time to breathe!

I’m also in the process of buying my own home and I can’t wait. I’ll be able to decorate the way I want and do whatever I want with it. My son and I have decided that a ping-pong table is definitely going in the unfinished basement. It will probably drive the cats crazy.

There is one more change that I really don’t know if I’m ready for. My almost 20 year old is moving out and into a house with some friends. It is absolutely the best for him but I miss him already. He is really an interesting young man and I love to have discussions on politics and religion with him. I guess I’ll have to call him for those things now.

Along with all these other changes, I have a book coming out in December. And just for another change, it will be in eformat only. This is not self-published book but a decision Kensington made based on my sales. I was selling really well in ebook, far better than in print. For all those who say they don’t want a Kindle, my 84 yr old mother received one for Mother’s Day and loves it.

Here’s the cover for Bewitching the Duke, which I just received yesterday from my editor. He was concerned that she wasn’t pretty enough but I really like her because she portrays more of a country woman, not a member of the society.

Anyone else out there opening a door or chapter in their life? Do you think a book model had to be drop dead gorgeous?
