Holding your first book

People have been telling me that holding your first published book, is like giving birth and this is your baby. I don’t quite feel like that. Although I have been through the labour pains of writing this book, when I look at it, I know I am not responsible for the rest of its life. I suppose in some was it is like a baby..some will think its cute, others not…but now its out in the big wide world, its no longer mine to control. I have send some 60 books out and I sit and wait for people to read and to hear what people think.
