It has been so awesome this week celebrating Diverse Reader's 3 Year Blogiversary! Today, we continue the party with the very funny, super delightful, and quite talented Luna David. This post made me laugh and I'm sure you will too. Stick around to the end for the giveaway!
THREE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY BLOG POST
Hello Everyone! Let me let you in on a little something…
Hmm? Meredith has tasked me with writing a memory of her or of my experiences
working with Diverse Reader… I gotta admit, she truly asked the WRONG person, because I seriously have
an epically awful memory.
BUT! What does one do when they have such a horrible time
remembering the simplest things in life—what she had for breakfast, if she took
her medicine, where are her children, what her first conversation was like with
Meredith at Diverse Reader? One goes back to the beginning… Where it all began,
if you will.
As the tension was mounting and I was cursing my brain for its
complete and utter reluctance to recollect even the most mundane of subjects, a
very good friend said to me, “Go to your PM history and look at your first
conversations with her…”
And so I did…
What surprised me most was the fact that Meredith took my
virginity, ya’ll. No lie, she truly did. I started talking to her about a year ago
now and we got to know each other a bit. When I was FINALLY finished with my first book—those of you who know me know
that I might truly be the slowest writer of all time—and was ready to ask some
friends I’d made to review that bad boy, she was one of the first ones I
approached. That conversation went a little
bit like this:
Luna: OMG I don’t
know what to do to promote my first book. I just put it on Amazon and that’s
pretty much all I’ve got in my arsenal. Where do I go? What do I do? How do I get
reviews? How do I promote my book? HELP ME, Meredith! You’re my only hope! But
go easy, because I’m a virgin…
Meredith: Well I'm harmless and I'll make it painless for you. I will pop your
promo cherry for you HAHA!!!
Luna:
LMAO! Well... I don't mind if it’s a little painful... otherwise, what's the
fun....
And so it began, ladies and gentleman…
But oh wait, I’m not done because when I
told this to my very good friend, the very same one I mentioned above, that had
originally eased my panic with words of wisdom regarding PM conversation
history, she said that SHE had her review cherry popped by Meredith too! *GASP*
*Cue dramatic plot twist music*
Now, I gotta be honest.. At first I was
all, “YAY! We both got devirginized by Meredith King!”
But then I was all, “Wait. We both got
devirginized by Meredith King… Was I not special? Was I not good enough? Why
did she have to look elsewhere? What is the meaning of life?”
And then I realized that she wouldn’t have
much of a blog if she only devirginized one author and then called it good… So,
though Meredith may “get around”, deflowering all of us author virgins and
continuing to review soooo many wonderful LGBTQ+ books on her blog, she always
treats all of her authors and publishers with kindness and respect, even when
we don’t know what the hell we’re doing…
So thank you, Meredith King and Diverse
Reader! Congrats on your THREE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY! *Happy Dance* *waves hands in
the air* *Cue explosive fireworks display*

Hi Luna, thank you for the hilarious post. I often wondered where my children were too. Wait till they get older then you really don't want to know.
ReplyDeleteI know you from FB, but not as an author. I sure have to read your books.
Great post, thanks for sharing! Luna David is a new to me author, but I'm always looking for authors to try.
ReplyDeleteHi Luna I enjoyed the post I do have your books on my TBR pile but after my mum being ill for the last year I haven't read as many books so my TBR is a very big tower.
ReplyDeleteLOL - boy that Meredith gets around. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of Luna's books yet, but after that funny post, will have to check them out.
