Writer's Digest Contest

I have decided to wait until next year to enter Fated into this contest.

But, I am happy to report that I have heard from several people regarding their thoughts about Fated. I had one reader tell me that she has already passed on her copy to a relative, who then passed it on to another (they were both anxious to get their hands on Guardian and were disappointed that it hadn't already been released). I also heard from a gentleman who gave Fated to his wife for her birthday. She told him that she loved it (which I love to hear!). And the final one that I heard from finished this three hundred and some page book in 3 1/2 hours because they enjoyed it so much! That certainly does make me happy to hear. This means word-of-mouth is taking hold even more, but, mostly, it means that my book is bringing enjoyment to others and that is wonderful to know.

I'll keep you posted on any more reviews that I hear, or you can check out the reviews I posted on the New Era Series website.

Happy Easter!

I'm looking forward to watching my children enjoy the day.

They're going fast!

There are just a couple of books left at bfc Flaire Gift Shop, so stop in soon. I'm so grateful that this shipment went so fast. This was probably due to several of them being spoken for before the shipment had even arrived. There is new merchandise and additional seasonal items for you to see at bfc Flaire also. It is located at 255 2nd St NE, in New Philadelphia. 

I can't wait (and I know most of you who have read Fated have told me that you can't either) for you to get a chance to read book 2 in this series. Book 2- Guardian- seems to be the favorite for most of my many test readers because Brody is so likeable, romantic, and funny.

Writer's Digest self- published book contest

Writer's Digest is having a self-published book contest in which I may enter Fated. I'll keep you posted on what I decide. I will have to decide soon since the deadline is April 20th.

In case you missed it

If you weren't able to come to the Tuscarawas County Writer's Guild to get your signed copy of Fated, you will soon have another chance to get one. And, you just might be able to win it!

An independent representative of Watkins Natural Products and I have teamed up to create a drawing where you could win a copy of my book! She will also have a select amount of them for sale. At the same time, you can check out the wonderful natural products from the Watkins line.  The address is 594 Frys Valley Rd SW, New Philadelphia. Here is the flyer of the companies you can expect to find there:

What a blast!

I had such a good time being the guest speaker at Tuscarawas County Writer's Guild tonight! I enjoyed it so much that I'm now looking forward to bringing my second book out so that I can repeat the experience. What a great group of people! Thanks to everyone that came!

Just a reminder

I will be the guest speaker for the Tuscarawas County Writer's Guild at the Tuscarawas Arts Center this Wednesday, March 21, 2012. I will be speaking at 7pm about my journey to becoming a published author and what I've learned along the way. I hope to see you there!
