BREAKING NEWS: On Solid Ground

NEW CHAPTERS...ON SOLID GROUND

I am so excited!

IN TOO DEEP went over HUGE in the NA world. It's a tough book to read but one you can't put down...or so I've heard. When I say tough I'm refering to the rollercoaster of emotions you experience while reading. Just check out some of the reviews. And btw, there are more than 2,000 of you who have it on their to-read list...you may wanna move it to your read list.

ON SOLID GROUND is the sequel and where it is similar in intensity to IN TOO DEEP, the intensity is NOT revolved around Gracie's broken heart...there are a couple new twists to the story my readers may NOT be expecting. But, based on the 5 STAR reviews it has gotten from bloggers who've received the pre-ARC, it's worth the stress.

The best part is, after a long discussion with my amazing editor, I have decided to add TWO more chapters to the end of the story to wrap up some loose ends with one of the characters.

SQUEEAAAALLLL!
I am so excited to get this book out to you! December can't come quick enough!! :)

Peace.

 

To review...or not to review (Amazon, B&N)

***

...and the correct answer is...

 

REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Before signing my first book contract, I didn't really think too much about leaving a review for a book on Amazon or B&N. I didn't really think my opinion mattered all that much.

 

 

Now, as an author I realize how many reviews I should have left over the years. Reviews help authors in many ways, especially self-pubbed authors (which I am now one of) who could get picked up by a publisher if they have a decent amount of reviews.

 

 

Now, I am not a traditional pub turned self-pubbing author who is vying for the attention of big houses and agencies. There are tons of self-pubbed authors out there who sit on the New York Times Best Seller List so I am in good company. But in order to grab the attention of the readers we, as authors, should be collecting as many reviews as we have readers.

 

Now, I am aware of how many books I have sold thus far...and my 64 reviews on Amazon (which are amazing reviews! I am happy with the ones there...most of them) are only representative of a quantity of two numbers...a six and a four...64. Based on how many of you have purchased and read IN TOO DEEP, this number should be four numbers long! You get me?

 

 

 

"People, she's proposing a contest!"

 

Until Friday at midnight (EST) everyone who leaves a new comment will be entered for a chance to win some IN TOO DEEP and ON SOLID GROUND swag! (Please remember I was an art teacher...I can make some pretty cool swag!) For every 10 reviews, I will pull one winner.

 

20 new reviews - 2 winners

30 reviews - 3 winners

...you feelin' me?

 

So, if you have read IN TOO DEEP, please leave a couple words (and lots of stars) for it on Amazon and B&N! :)

 

Thank you!
