Calling All Beta-Readers!

Hi Gang!
After a bit of a delay, I am nearing the completion of "Company Policy: A Psychological Thriller" and I could use your help.  Looking for beta-readers to provide feedback and review to be posted on both Amazon and Goodreads afterwards.  If you like psychological thrillers and this is something that you are interested in doing, please visit my website and fill out the beta-reader form and I will be touching base with you shortly to provide an Advanced Reader Copy(ARC).  This is limited to only 15 beta-readers so don't wait.  The cut-off date to sign up for this particular project is August 31, 2017.  Thanks so much!

Erica;-)

May Updates! New Distributors!

Hey Gang!

It's been a while since I've been on here but I am determined to learn this blog thing and try to grow and keep it going(so please bear with me) That being said, there are a few announcements.

Due to illness last year(like hospitalized illness)I lost a lot of time on my current project, Company Policy, while I took over six months to recover. But I have been hard at work in getting it done over these past few months(I am still recovering somewhat. It was a bad deal and very unexpected) On the plus side of all of that, I had plenty of time to lay around and map out an outline for my next project(uh-uh-Uh! I won't let you in on what it's about yet, but there will definitely be more on that later.)

Also, I have been learning more about marketing and using keywords to get my current books out there while promoting Company Policy.

Thirdly, I have (through Draft2Digital - thanks, guys!)managed to distribute all of my books to more distributors such as Kobo Plus and Playster. So, I have been trying to broaden my horizons. As always, you can click here to get free downloads of ePub previews of all of my book. If you crave more, than sign up here for beta-reading opportunities. I have the next ten years of novels lined up already(yup, the hospital was boring)so I can really use your help. And lastly, you can pre-order "Company Policy" by clicking here(I am hoping to have it out by mid to late-June)and it will be delivered to your email immediately following the release. Please feel free to leave feedback/reviews (Goodreads, Amazon, B&N, iBooks....you get the picture) Thanks and I am looking forward to my next update!


Erica

P.S. You can also download the romantic-suspense prequel to "Survival Tactics" called "Swept Away" right here. I normally don't write romance, but this story had been in my mind for quite a bit.  It's a great story with a few twists(that's my suspense side coming out lol) You can also save 25% on the full-length novel, Survival Tactics", by signing up for my emails here.

Happy Reading!

Wrist Injury Delays Writing(Well, at least a bit...)

I have had to take a little break due to a wrist injury, but believe it or not I have still managed to get some writing done on "Company Policy" It's all thanks to my iPhone's dictation feature since I cannot type or even use a pen to write. I am hoping that things will improve soon so that I can get back into the swing of things!

I will be there from 11am-3pm and it's to be a community affair not to be missed! There will be a raffle, prizes, treats from my bakery #gigicakeshoppe and more.
