A Quiet Launch For The Worth of a Woman

The Worth of a Woman, my new, soon to-be-released novel (it should be on Amazon early this coming week) is getting only a quiet launch. This novel is different from anything that I've previously written.
   This book makes me uncomfortable and uneasy.
   This book has subject matter in it that is graphic and brutal. The language is realistic and foul.
   This book is way outside my comfort zone.
   This book made me cry the first three times I read it. I wanted to change the ending, but knew I couldn't.
    Its origin was a dream segment that haunted me after I woke up. It was partially written in a week. I walked away from it and worked on another novel because it was upsetting me. About a month later I resolved to finish it. It took about another week to finish writing it.
    This is the novel I wrote the last chapter of at breakfast before going to work and literally sobbed. I was still crying when I got to work (my coworkers thought someone had died...well, someone had, but it was not a real person, not to them anyway) and had a difficult time pulling myself out of the abyss. It took me a few days before I could write the necessary epilogue. I cried as I wrote that, too, but it wasn't as emotionally wrenching as the last numbered chapter had been. Then, I ignored it again for a couple of weeks not wanting to put myself through the emotional wringer again. Finally, I proofread it, made some changes, got a printed proof, read that, made additional changes, redesigned the cover, and ordered a second proof. I finished going through it one more time today, changing a few more things, replacing words, tightening it up some.
    Tonight, I uploaded the new word file, happy as I could be that when all my CreateSpace books were moved all in one fell swoop to Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) that the book went with the 47 others and was waiting there to be finished. I wasn't satisfied with the back cover text, but couldn't change the cover at this point in the process. It is what it is right now. I'll have to design a whole new cover for the ereader version because I don't think it will grab the already existing cover (I never saved it anywhere)- I need to explore KDP a little more. It's all new to me, different from CreateSpace in a number of ways.
   I wrote outside the box, and now I want to crawl back into it. I wrote outside my comfort zone and left myself scrambling to get back inside that zone.
    In conclusion, if you're easily offended, have delicate sensibilities, cannot abide violence, vulgar language, and graphic, disturbing sexual situations then leave this book off your must read list. All I can say is that, like those other 47 books I've written, this story moves fast, hits hard, and will not leave you feeling very good.
     So, that's that.
