Hello Eric! Thank you for the request. It took me a while to accept and I am sorry. I was distracted with other things; you know how that happens. I am looking forward to using GR more these days.
Have a great day,
Ellen

Thanks for becoming my Goodreads friend.

Funny that I'm just seeing this July 24th. I am SLOW this weekend! Please let me know how the family likes the book(s). They are suitable for 13+ with vampire violence, but no explicit sex or bad language. Very intense, just the same!

Thank you, Lisa!!

Thanks so much for friending me, Ellen. :) Love the horse in your profile pic! My daughters and I will love your vampire books. lol. They love anything vampirish. Are the books adult or young adult? I have a daughter thirty something, and one thirteen. lol.

Hi Ellen!
Nice to meet you, too. Thanks for accepting my friend request. Have a great night!

Thanks for your friendship, Ellen! :D

Great. Thanks for the support. On your page now, too.

Super. I went over and liked your page. I was running a group on FB before they changed the groups and we had 875 people! But when they changed the group format, it just wasn't as fun. I mush prefer these "like" pages. Plus, instead of hundreds of people who don't really care about my books, I am down to the ones who respond regularly and encourage me. I can see your page has encouragers, too. I love it! Here is my link:

Cool beans! We can encourage each other along the way. If you're on facebook, let me know. I use facebook for tons of promotion, and my readers love that venue...

Thanks, Ellen! I'm intrigued by your books, and really excited to read them. Thanks for the add on my series. I hope you enjoy the books.

Ellen, thank you for your kind remarks. I will look forward to hearing your thoughts on my latest book, WAITING TO LIVE.

Again, thank you.

Hi, Ellen!

I'm going to have to check out your books now! :) It might take me a bit. I just got a Kindle two days ago and I've been spending money like crazy on books. I've probably bought 10 or 12 zombie novels, 6 or 8 fantasy books and one vampire book. I guess I know where I can get more vampire books now. :)

If you do get around to reading my zombie novel - let me know what you think. It's my first novel and I'd like to know what you think (good or bad).

Thanks - talk soon!

Oh, I definitely want to see what you created! I am reading three others, but this is in the queue. If you actually get to read one of mine, let me know. I hope it isn't too scary... :)

Hey Ellen,
It means so much to me that you have checked out my book. When you get a chance to read it I can't wait to hear what you think. I have been looking at your books and I am excited to read them, and a little scared to be creaked out. I'm going to go start one now.

Thank you,
Em

Good luck with your books Ellen. I have been reading your blog posts about marketting and it spurred me on to convince my publisher to change the price of A Dead Man's Debt from $9.20 to $2.99. Despite great reviews it seems people are reluctant to take a risk on an unknown author. It is already helping sales ....Thanks for all you share with the book world.

Thanks for your reply, and I'm definitely going to check out your books, Ellen. And, yes, there is a Kindle e-book version of Forbidden Steps. The direct link is below. I think you'll find my novel to be a very unusual murder mystery...certainly not the norm. Be sure to read the reviews by scrolling down. All awesome and all 5 stars. Now I'm off to view the link you sent me. Have a terrific night, Ed

Thanks for accepting my friend request, Ellen. You seem like an interesting person, as well as a very prolific and accomplished author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is a very unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed

Thank you, Karen! I probably already clicked FAN on your page but I'll go make sure. I LOVE to encourage my writing friends. Remind me -- are your books YA or Middle Grade, or adults? I hope to read the first one soon!

As for my books and having 4 out -- it is thanks to my publisher. When I self-pubbed my first book, it was so expensive that I would have had to stop there. But Linda Boulanger at TreasureLine Publishing really liked my work and now publishes it all and FAST. If you ever have a need for a publisher, I might be able to help you submit to them!

Hugs, ellen

Just became a fan. I hope I can write as many books as you have written. I'm finishing up on book 2, Prince Andy and the Misfits: Epidemic in the Dark Lands and have book 3 in my head already. See you around goodreads and good luck with books.

Hi Ellen, thanks for the friend request. So pleased to hear you enjoyed The Safety Factor. I'd love to be able to say I co-authored it, but I was just one of the editors. I enjoyed those books too :) Great to be friends here, and thanks for joining Bestsellerbound!

HEY! CONGRATS ON THE KINDLE~!! You're going to have a blast with it!! I don't have one, but one day...

Yes, 33AD was very good. I really enjoyed it a lot. I am trying to think of some recommends, but the first one I can think of that I really enjoyed isn't on Kindle yet. Here is a link so you can put on your to-read shelf on Goodreads: After Eventide

I'm sorry my Kindle book was higher. I think I have it set at $7.99, and it was my first book and I was learning the ropes. I am putting them all on Kindle as they come out, and I'll price them better. I'm thinking about $5.75 sounds good.

HOLD OFF buying Rabbit on Kindle because by next month, I will have it cheaper on Kindle, coming from a different publisher. It will be better, too... cheaper and better...can't beat that!

When my other books trickle out on Kindle, I'll send you a notice through Goodreads so you can put them on your shelves to buy whenever ready. One thing I love about Goodreads is that they keep track of the books I want to get eventually!

Get to reading!!

Hugs--ellen :)

Hey Ellen,
how is it going? Hey I just finally got a kindle!!! ( think I told you how much I wanted one) my dad surprised me and had it sent to me.. what a shock.. to open a amazon box ( thought it was a book I had ordered but it was used so I was pretty confused lol) then I open it and there is a kindle in the box! I knew it had to be him so I emailed him and he said since Id been so down all spring and summer he wanted me to be happy.. really surprised me..so I was looking at my lists and saw that the book 33 AD was only a few bucks for the kindle version.. and saw you also read and reviewed it...then I went to get rabbit but it was like 7.50 or something..so next month when I get paid or sell a new resin sculpture I'll get yours next.. I also ordered a book called the blood that bonds. it was only 99 cents.. have you read that one yet? I found it when I was surfing amazon after i got the kindle.. was searching for really cheap but newer or popular books.. did you know you can get email on your kindle? and all recipes has a kindle friendly site.. ( I use them alot when I cook.. which isn't that often anymore but still sometimes! now i don't have to put my laptop in the kitchen! lol) so. I still have a large stack of books next to my bed to read so I'll kind of getting a few ready to reading the kindle.. and yours will be there soon! .. just need to make more money.. . read anything really good lately? I just read an old one by chelsey quinn yarbouro about st germain in the 14th century.. was ok but not very vampiry..lol am now reading the 3rd in a series about vampires.. call themselves the blood. as in clan of.. anyways.. Im looking forward to reading the 33ad.. and yours soon! take care!

That sounds awesome, Johnathan! I know a few teen poets, and it takes real heart to write them.

As soon as you can, buy this book -- http://www.amazon.com/2010-Poets-Mark...
It might be in the local big bookstore chain. It will be filled with helpful information on HOW TO GET YOUR POETRY PUBLISHED, and how to submit it and where, and all the addresses and all that. I use these books myself!

well miss Ellen I am a poem writer and a short story writer (most of the time) but my work really is in poetry I wrote about 30+ poems and I want to publish it, my teachers and friends tell me I should do it, and I want to, my poetry goes from love to hate from hate to friends and back to love. Emotions are my best work.
