Time passing away

I have found that so much time is slipping away more than passing away. I have to find time to manage all my many sites and still be productive!

I have self-published three books now and am working on two more...I believe as an author I am growing :)

Calastan remade

Over the last couple of months I have worked very hard to give Calastan the look and appeal that very much reflects my personality. With the help of some amazing people I was able to correct the grammar issues and give Calastan a new look. I have added in some additional items to the end of the book as well.

This is book 1 in the Jein's Journey series, Resolution, book 2 is hoping to go live by October 1st.

I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Book Signing

On Wednesday, February 13th I did my first book signing. It was small but more successful than I ever thought possible. I took less than 20 books and sold about 1/3 of them. A small number to some but a big deal to this writer. I am unknown to majority of the reading world and well let's face it, if your not big in the sales already its not easy getting yourself out there. But I took that step. If you would like to see pictures from the signing please visit my blog at jeinsjourney.blogspot.com, your welcome to follow as well. I am doing interviews with authors and characters and post about life in general!!!

Review on Facebook

Today (2/7/13) A review from A. Crouch was left on my facebook page www.facebook.com/jeinsjourney

"Just finished Jein’s Journey Calastan. It was well written and descripted. I could imagine the beautiful landscapes of Calastan, living in a giant Eyykle tree, and the thrill and excitement of hunting in an unknown land. The novel leaves you wanting more. I’m looking forward to the next one. I feel it would make a great Sci-Fi TV series simply because it could have so many side stories as we learn more about the families, societies, and individuals in the wonderful world of Calastan. Great job Cheryllynn ."

So grateful for such a great review!!!!

Balancing Act

I have found that the world of writing, reading and reviewing is a busy one. I have also found that I have to schedule time to write and read...

My life consists of being a Mom (first), girlfriend, housekeeper, teacher, taxi, cook, maid, you know the works as that goes... but I also am a Unit Leader in Avon sales. Therefore most of my days and evenings are shot... so my goal in the next few weeks is to balance the work and pleasure loads of life a little better.

I do have a book signing I'm up for on the 13th and am very excited for it, and a bit nervous. Truly being new at it all can be overwhelming.

I do vow to do better on the blogs and participation of the groups Im on now though.... part of my goals

Jeins Journey

Here is a little taste of the book...

Excerpt from book:" " Oh dear no! Men's thoughts and conversations can be dangerous. Sometimes they really don't think too clearly. It's safer if we don't know." Jokingly she swirls her hands in the air as if the topic is floating around and she is brushing it away."
