Officially A Goodreads Author
Hello all!
I just figured out how the Goodreads author program worked and am excited because it is helpful to those who self-publish, like me. I unfortunately haven't been proactive with my book because I was busy planning a wedding. Now that I'm officially a wife, I'm ready to turn my full attention to my publications. I published Dark Lightning back in November and have only heard good things about it, but I'm open to everyone's opinion. Constructive criticism is how we learn. My book can currently be found at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, iBooks, Createspace, and Smashwords. Dark Lightning takes you into the enticing and dark world of the Elementals. Each person can control one element and bend it to their will. The story line follows Ava, who possess the rare element: lightning and electricity. She struggles to fit into the Elemental society since she was raised by humans. Luckily, she has her best friend Harper to help guide her. The Elemental society doesn't seem so bad with Nate in it either. Ava is compelled to get closer to him and finds herself entranced by his blue eyes. But with his narcissism and stubbornness, he doesn't make it easy.
I am working on the sequel, along with another novel. Writing is my passion and just like anyone else, I like sharing that passion with others. I hope you all take the time to read my novel and share your thoughts with me. I am also open to any questions so feel free to ask.
Bye for now,
Bethany

Self-Publishing
Hello all!
Today, I want to talk a little bit about self-publishing. It's a challenging adventure to get your book out there, but it can be done. Local bookstores, such as Barnes and Noble, will usually support local authors. The Barnes and Noble near me is setting up a book signing sometime in July for Dark Lightning. Social media will become your best friend. It's a way to get your project known to people from other states. Goodreads is my current favorite. They offer advertising at 50 cents a click and there's so many wonderful readers on Goodreads. I love meeting new people and hearing what they like to read as well.
With Self-Publishing, you have to be proactive about your book and be ready for everyone's opinion. I personally love getting feedback because it helps me learn for my future novels. I haven't decided if I'm going to self-publish my next book. Only time will help me decide, considering it's still in the works.
I'd like to add that I will probably start adding videos to my account. Most of them will involve Apollo, my reading buddy. He is the most entertaining bird I've ever owned.
