Fans of Cosmic Internal Spa Treatment

Now that the buzz over Cinematic Royalty has calmed, I can excitedly share that my old fic, Cosmic Internal Spa Treatment has seen an original makeover.
For those of you who read and enjoyed that story, you'll be glad to know that I kept much of the heart of it. The inner conflict that can plague many of us and force us to make bad decisions when we see no other option. I felt that was an essential element to what made the story what it was. It's a tough read, emotionally packed, and definitely capable of sparking those *pull your hair out* vibes.
Ha ha. That being said, you may find it's worth it.
Many of the characters do feel different. You may find hints of Max in my hero, but he is certainly a new man. I always felt my heroine wasn't quite Liz... but a broken version of who we can all become. The person most faithful to the original rendering is Ryan. He was exactly what the story needed and til this day I find his part in the whole thing heartbreaking and beautiful. I've grown to love him!
So anyway, to make a long story short, my publisher, Freya's Bower, contracted the story, now titled Surfacing, last year and I've worked on it for about 6 months to get it in tip top shape. I'm proud of the changes I've made and I hope that you all will enjoy it just as much as I did. I should be receiving my official release date soon, but keep an eye out for sometime in February. Either way, I'll keep you all posted.
