Betrayal Giveaway

BETRAYAL IS ON TOUR!!!I'm so thrilled to host a blog tour for my first book, Betrayal. A few bloggers have already read and reviewed Betrayal and posted great reviews, with so many more bloggers eager to review it. So a blogger suggested doing a blog tour. I wasn't sure what that consisted of, so I did a little research and found that it could actually be fun. Readers want to know a little about a book before investing their precious time so they trust pro-readers a.k.a. book bloggers to inform them of a good read. I figured what better way to introduce Betrayal to more readers.

Betrayal Blog Tour

I'd like to thank all the book bloggers who have featured Betrayal's release and those who have reviewed it (thank you so much for all the undue praise!!!). The precious time these dedicated bloggers spend reviewing books and spreading the word about indie authors is nothing short of amazing. I cherish you all!
Since there has been quite a bit of interest in Betrayal throughout the blogosphere from book bloggers who read YA paranormal - romance and / or historical fantasy, I will be hosting a blog tour for Betrayal very soon. I hope to have all the specifics ironed out by the end of the week (fingers crossed) to post.

I've added a page to this blog for Betrayal's reviews, which I've taken from goodreads.com from readers who reviewed prior to the release, so check that out.
Oh and if you have a minute check the Images page - just pics I thought that worked well with the story.

Betrayal Giveaway!I just have to give a SHOUT OUT to all ...

Betrayal Giveaway!I just have to give a SHOUT OUT to all the readers who have purchased Betrayal and are posting such awesome reviews and emailing me. I'm so happy that you've enjoyed the story. I've received a lot of emails and comments with praise on my writing and I am humbled. I dont think of myself as a great writer, not by a long shot, but I 'm so elated that you all do. I'm sorry if I haven't answered your email or comments on this blog. I'm so busy being a mom of two, so my weekends are chaotic, and my night are dedicated to writing. Here are the answers to some of your questions.
*The deal with the paperback: To my horror, Amazon  printed the interior of my book slightly slanted so they are currently correcting the production problem and Betrayal should be back up for sale soon. I will post when it finally becomes available.*Yes the GIVEAWAY is for two books to one winner who will generously give one signed copy to a friend.*YES I am working hard on the second book, titiled Sacrifice. I hope to have it out by December 2011. The Descendants is a trilogy.*If you would like to review a copy of my book, interview me, host a giveaway, or add Betrayal to a blog tour please contact me first. *For those who want to know how I self-published: I published with createspace for paperback - sold through Amazon and several other distribution channels, Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) for Kindle ebooks. I also published with pubit! - ebooks published by Barnes and Nobles, and Smashwords.com in ebook*Yes Betrayal is available on AmazonUK in ebook only.*YES I now have a Twitter account, clickthe little bird on the right & follow me & enjoy the chaos ------->*No I've never tried the traditional publishing route. I've never queried an agent, not once. I decided to self publish so that I could maintain control of my project from beginning to end. I love to write and my new readers!*It took a couple months to write Betrayal, but a little over a year to edit it. I enjoy writing way more than the editing. *I would really love to read and review books, but I really lack the time (two little boys who love getting into mischief, 9 to 5 job, getting dinner ready on time, writing, etc.) plus I don't like to critique so the answer is no to reviewing another author's work, but I wish you the best.*I worked really hard on the ending of Betrayal and thought it was satisfying. If you really want to know what happeneds to the characters, you'll have to read Sacrifice. *The cover of Betrayal was designed by the talented Samantha OyolaI think that's everything, but if I missed something just send me an email or post a comment here.
