Well, release day came and release day went. And I’m pooped. Seriously, stick a fork in me, guys, I’m done.
Yesterday, after my launch party at Katy Budget Books, aka one of the best bookstores in the entire world, I was feeling pretty tuckered out. When I looked over my shoulder, I saw my cat, Skitter, and I think he was toying with me by imitating me.
Anyway, I grabbed my camera and caught his antics in action because I knew nobody would believe me unless the could see it for themselves.
So here is what my cat says I look like after a release day.
Pretty accurate, huh?
And below are some reviews that are flowing in on Don’t Mess With Texas:
Don't Mess With Texas was a fabulously great read. I absolutely loved the characters. If you are looking for a fun romance that keeps you guessing this is it. There's a happy ending and I can't wait for the next one in the series.

Don’t Mess With Texas is whole lot of book for a great price!!! DMWT has a cast of characters to keep you laughing and chompin' at the bit for the next two books.
* * *
Don’t Mess with Texas is a delightful suspense-filled mystery with a sparkling cast of characters. The romance is spicy, the dialogue entertaining and there are some hilarious moments.

Craig kicks off another series set in Texas, revolving around three ex-cops framed for murder and now running their own PI agency. Christie Craig always delivers enjoyable light romantic mysteries - add Don't Mess With Texas to the list.
* * *
Christie Craig seems to have a real knack for writing fun little romantic romps with a bit of steam to them. If you are looking for a fun romp, Texas style, be sure to check out Don’t Mess with Texas.
* * *
Christie Craig blends humor, romance, and homicide to create an intriguing and off-the-wall-type of mystery for her readers. This is a fast paced story that brings together an eccentric cast of characters, each with his own set of quirks, to the party. The result is unmitigated chaos that succeeded in capturing my attention quickly and holding it tightly until the very end. I loved every minute that I spent with my nose stuck in the book and I am looking forward to the next PI's story.

This is a fun Texas investigative romance that in some ways feels like a throwback to the madcap comedies of the 1930s. The story line is fast-paced from the moment the heroine vomits and never slows down as her knight in shining armor tries to prove her innocence while falling in love with "Leon's leftover". Fans will appreciate this terrific Texas two-step.
* * *
This is laugh out loud humorous fun! A heroine who pukes on the hero, a no-nonsense Nana (loved her! Nana needs her own story, she's just that funny), a strong defend-and-protect type hero--mix it all together and you've got a novel jammed pack with Christie’s humor, romance, mystery, suspense and everything else she could think of including an English Bulldog sleeping in a coffin.

Krisgils33,
Thanks girl. I hope you enjoy it too. I'm working on the the last tweaks to Taken at Dusk, the third book in the Shadow Fall series. So I've got my nose back to the grindstone and I'm having fun.
Have a great day.

Great picture! I know that feeling way too well. But it's caused by kids and back to school chaos! LOL Congratulations on your new release and the wonderful reviews! Can't wait to read this one! Wishing you all the Best!!
Super Congrats Christie. Well deserved
Is it possible that your cat was mocking me as well?
Great reviews, Christie, but then, I'm not surprised. Nope not one bit.
Jenn!
Congrats Christie and it was a great book launch, too bad you couldn't join us with the after book release lunch- it seems that each launch we attend we have to go eat.( mostly because I was craving onion rings) But in all seriousness, it is a great book and written by a really funny and great writer. May your star continue to rise and "best seller" be added to the title.

I think it's very possible that he's mocking all authors during and after a deadline. LOL.
Good luck on getting all your work done.

LOL I love that cat. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Great reviews, Christie. Get some rest now.
Congratulations, Christie...love the picture of Skitter...looks like my kind of kitty cat--fluffy! (I love cats. I'm allergic, but I LOVE them--apparently I don't have as much trouble around the long-haired ones that are well taken care of).
Thanks for quoting my blog! It was an honor to be able to review DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS for you.
Best wishes and go knock their socks off! YOU ROCK :-)
Sandy,
I'm working on getting some rest. Thanks for stopping in.

Hi Bethany,
Skitter is a real love...to me. His mom was a feral cat and he has a problem with most humans. LOL. My poor husband gets the evil eye form Skitter everytime he gets in bed with me.
Thanks for stopping in.

What all those great reviews have said is why your books are always on my must buy list. DMWT has popped into my kindle and I am looking forward to a fun read this weekend.
Loved the cat picture!:)...did you nudge him over so you could both hang 'round together? Misery and company and all that:)
I bought the book. Twice. I have a girlfriend who'll be receiving it for Christmas. We curl up and read the same books during that time and compare notes. This time I'm sure we'll be whooping!
Great reviews, Christie, and an excellent signing at KBB:)
Lo
Mo,
Thank you so much. I love writing my wacky stories.
Have a great day.

Jane,
Thanks! I'm thrilled it's out.

Hi Christie. It's been so long since I've had one of your books to read. Downloaded it to my Nook last night and started it at lunch today. Loving it.
Get some rest. You deserve it.

Thanks Linda!
