Friday Friend DL Larson

It is my pleasure to welcome a fellow blogger from my other blog, Acme Authors Link, to Heroines with Hearts today. DL is waiting 'patiently' for the release of her latest book. I think we all can relate, right?!



“Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.”
Babe Ruth


When it’s my turn up to bat, the pitch seems faster than when I stood watching it earlier. First base has stretched three times its distance and I feel winded before I pull the bat from my shoulder.

Am I hyper-ventilating? Geesh! It’s just a ballgame. Relax, enjoy the sport, and don’t obsess so much. This is supposed to be FUN!

Well, Babe Ruth’s quote works for many avenues of life. No, I’m not a ball player, I’m a writer. And my next book was supposed to be here by now. But that didn’t happen and my publisher says in another week. So why am I still hyper-ventilating?

Do I fear a strike-out? I don’t think so, well, maybe. I could be obsessing about that. If it would just get here! Then action would replace the limbo I’m in. I wouldn’t be thinking of striking out.

My other books did pretty darn good. My track record isn’t tarnished. I’ve had several asking about my release date. So I should enjoy the time waiting. Yes, that is wonderful advice. It’s exactly what I would give a fellow author whose book release had been delayed.

I’m a natural procrastinator, not that I would admit that out loud. So one would think a tardy book release wouldn’t bother me. It didn’t at first. But that was two weeks ago. It’s worrying me now!



My book is a historical love story, called, Promises My Love. My character Francis comes from an abusive home and struggles with family intimacies. His wife Christine shows him that trust and love can overcome just about anything. But that fragile bond shatters when his family intervenes and Francis aches for revenge.

Christine’s brother Joe has plans with his own family, but he agrees to go after Francis and bring him home. Joe fears Francis may have more hate than love building up inside him. Someone is going to end up dead. Joe fears it might be the wrong person.

I hope you’ll check into my book. I know, I know, it’s not released yet. But when it does happen to become available, please look for Promises My Love, by DL Larson. Look in the general places ~ Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com. It’s available in hard copy or e-book form.

I’m ready for the pitch. The bat no longer rests on my shoulder. I’ve zeroed in on the ball. I’m watching for the release. Fast ball, curve ball, I don’t care. I just wanna hit it out of the park! That would be fun!

Thanks for hosting me!
