Bittersweet Reunions is done, done, done!!

My new novel titled 'Bittersweet Reunions' is finished and I ordered a proof copy.  I can't wait to hit the button to finalize it and order copies for sale!!


Bittersweet Reunions follows my first novel, 'Acres of Bitterness' but can still be read as a stand alone.  It contains all of the same characters and continues their stories of their lives.  But the first few chapters reminds readers of what happened in Acres so you can easily enjoy it even if you haven't read it.


It's going to be a Bittersweet Reunion.

Bittersweet Reunions - Book Two

Last proof read for Bittersweet Reunions in the works.  I can't wait for the final steps to be finished.  The book cover has been designed waiting for the pages to be inserted.  Then off to CreateaSpace we go for the finishing process.  Will run a promotion right away to launch it too. Hooray!!

Publishing Book Number Two

Halfway done with proofreading number one.  I am getting excited to see the end of this task and get the book published. No one but another author realizes all the steps this takes and time it uses to see the end result.


If I could just write and not do the grunt work like the pro's do it,  I would write more!!

Beta readers

How many beta readers to you use before you feel comfortable publishing your books?  I am thinking two perhaps would do it, if they are very, very careful.  What do you think?

The book is done!!!!

Bittersweet Reunions is finished and out the door to my first beta reader!  I am so excited to have completed it.  Now to the hard part, learning how to publish on Create a Space, get a new photo taken and design a cover.  Learning something new each day!

KDP Promotion Sank

Mu KDP Promotion sank to the bottom of the bottom.  Not one sale, not even one.  How does that even happen. I paid for advertising and tweeted constantly.  However, it was brought to my attention by a helpful fellow author that upon searching for Acres of Bitterness, my photographer was listed as author. Thus, no one that was looking for my name wouldn't have found it until they clicked on the book and my name was on the next page.  So, I better be more careful next time.
