CONTEST TIME!!!

 
 
     Is everyone ready for a contest??  I ordered some printed copies of my debut novel-Connections.  So the prize will be... drum roll please... a signed copy of Connections!  Ahhhhh! Yay!  Amazing!!  Sorry got carried away :-)
 
     I would like to get more subscribers to my website, more likes on my FB page and an increase in sells on Amazon.  Contest will end on March 31st, 2015. 
 
Here are the rules of the contest:
     1.) For every person you recommend who likes my FaceBook page, your name will be counted once.
     2.) For every person you recommend who subscribes to my website, your name will be counted TWICE!
     3.)  For every person you recommend who purchases my book AND writes a review on Amazon or Goodreads with their name in the review somewhere, your name will be counted FOUR TIMES!!!  (please remember the contest ends March 31st, so the review must be on Amazon or Goodreads BEFORE that date)  (Note-a review is the only way to track names of people you recommend)
     4.) The people you recommend MUST like my FaceBook page, Subscribe to my website or purchase my book with a review written with their name somewhere in the review BEFORE the end of March 31st!
     5.) In order to track who you recommend, you must contact me with the persons name BEFORE they subscribe, like or purchase, so I can track it on my website, FaceBook Page or the reviews posted on Amazon/Goodreads.  You can contact me via email, PM on my FaceBook page or through the contact form on this website.
     6.)  Remember, your name will only be counted like I stated in the above IF I can track the person you recommend.  So if you send me a name that does not do any of the above actions, then I cannot count your name for that person.  Sorry!
    
     On April 1st, I will randomly choose a person to win a signed copy of Connections!  The winner will be announced here on my website and on FaceBook!
 
     So the more people you recommend who either subscribe to my website, like my FaceBook page, and/or purchases my book and writes a review, the more times your name will be added in the drawing.
 
If you have any questions, reply with a comment to this post or contact me via any of the ways I stated in rule 5.

Music Playlist for Connections

Music Playlist for Connections

 
 
     So let's do something fun!  So many authors have playlists that reminds them of their story's.  If the story was turned into a movie, what would be on the soundtrack kind of playlist. 
 
     I am really at a loss for songs that I could add to the playlist.  I'd really like to include a playlist of about 10-12 songs here on my website. 
 
     So this is where you come in.  For those who have read the book Connections, what songs would fit to the story line?  Comment below with a few.  Then I can compile what I think would fit and add the playlist on this website.  Please no songs with bad language :-)   Do have fun with it.  Let's see how many we can get. 

CONNECTIONS-Ready for purchase NOW!

Connections-Ready for purchasing!

 
     I'm so happy, I just cannot contain myself.  My first book has been uploaded and is now ready for purchase on Amazon.  I thought it would take a little while for Amazon to process it.   I revealed the cover to the contest winner-Samantha Denton just this morning.  So it wasn't supposed to be revealed to everyone till tomorrow.  But....  She was very gracious about it and didn't mind at all that it was already out there for everyone to see. 
    
     It is ready NOW!!  You just have to click on the blue link under the cover I've shown below.  If you don't have a kindle, all you have to do is download the kindle app on your phone or tablet, then go purchase the book.  It should automatically download to your device.


 
    
     I first thought about what I wanted on the cover while writing the story.  My designer-Amygdala Book Cover Designs-did an amazing job, don't you think?

     Once you buy the book and read it, please go back to amazon and write a review (be nice :-)  ).  The more reviews (good ones, obviously), the better it looks for prospective buyers. 
   
     And tell all your friends, your family, your niece in college, EVERYONE!!!  I'm counting on my supporters to help me get the word out.  The saying that the best marketing is word of mouth is so true!

     Needless to say, my excitement for this milestone of the self-publishing journey is overflowing!!!  ~Happy Dance, Happy Dance~

Freestyle Friday! Happy New Year!

Freestyle Friday!

 
 

     It’s that time again, Friday.  The very first Friday of 2015 actually.  Let's start the New Year with a fresh slate, a blank page for new beginnings. 
     So to get creative juices flowing, we are doing a New Year Freestyle Friday.  If you are new to Freestyle Fridays, I start with either a picture, sentence or group of sentences, then continue with the beginnings of a story.  This is where you come in and either continue with my story or begin one of your own.  You don’t have to be a writer to do this, just someone who wants to have some creative fun!   

 

     This is not how I wanted to start the New Year.  Sitting alone, in a hotel room, starving… with a gun in my hand.

 

My Story

      I told him I couldn’t do it.  Just causing anyone to hurt was against my nature.  Why did it come down to this?  Did he really think I could get past the inevitable consequences of my actions?  What would my parents think?  Of course, they would never know, since they were hundreds of miles away.  But that didn’t stop me from caring about their reaction.
     I just didn’t understand why it had to come to this?
 
Ok, my peeps.  Take it from there, or start a new one.  Don’t be shy, I’d love to hear from you!
