My friend the ambitious and talented Fashion Designer Chabella Gomez who provided the dress descriptions for various dress designs for my protagonist Kataryna Tayler in my upcoming novel Desperate Pursuit in Venice has started a Kickstarter Campaign for her 2014 Spring/Summer collection.

Desperate Pursuit in Venice

Dear "Desperate Pursuit in Venice" Fans and Friends,

Amazon provided me with my author link on Author Central today, so I am pleased to share it with you. Please click on the following link if you would like to get to know me a little better.

As mentioned in my last blog, Desperate Pursuit in Venice is available on most popular eReaders now. I previously posted the Amazon and B&N purchase links also on my website www.karynnesummars.com and the book's Facebook Page as well as on Google+ and Pinterest. It is of course available on the other popular eReaders, too. You can find it by inserting the title of the book in the search line and it will bring you to the respective page.

Since the book was just uploaded last week, the eReader stores don't show the book page in their book announcement feeds yet. I was told that would take several weeks but with the purchase link you can already purchase the eBook and start reading. For readers who prefer paperbacks, stay tuned. A paperback version via Amazon/CreateSpace is in process and should be available soon.

Thank you to all in advance who support the book to hopefully make it a bestseller. Got to get back to writing the sequel now so you won't have to wait too long to read what happens next to Kataryna, Luca, Roberto, Carlotta and Francesco as well as Enrico and the twins. I am sure you will love it. It will be really exciting.

Please don't forget to sign up with your email address on my website for future giveaways and trivia quizzes and come back soon to visit.

When you visit the Amazon Author Page, may I ask you to please give it a "Like" if you indeed like it, of course?

I am looking forward to entertaining and touching readers on many levels and I would love to hear what you think.

All the best,
Karynne

Now here is a thought/quote that excites me. I accept the challenge.

Love this quote...

"Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in line with your spiritual core, that you can’t get it out of your mind. If you do not get chills when you set a goal, your not setting big enough goals."

~ Bob Proctor

Happy New Year to all my Friends and Followers,

In 2013 I published my first novel and joined a large author community, i.e. the World Literary Cafe and MARSocial. I never thought that fellow authors would support each other that much, so I was more than pleasantly surprised. Thanks for all your support.

While busy writing the sequel to Desperate Pursuit in Venice, I met and joined the independent filmmaker KeeranVaani Creations as Executive Producer for the movie DiSTurBeD, a psychological thriller/horror movie. While this was not on my plan for 2013, their passion and commitment convinced me to do so and has since widened my horizon for 2014.

Update for Sequel to Desperate Pursuit in Venice (DPIV)

Work in Progress: 36,700 words written so far. More emotional twists and turns for Luca, Kataryna, Roberto, Carlotta and Francesco. I have also introduced new interesting characters in the sequel. I know that I am a little behind because I had planned to publish the sequel around year-end but I have a good excuse- DiSTurBeD Movie.
Have a look: www.disturbedmovie.com

However, this gives you, the readers, some more time to finish or start reading DPIV.
Meanwhile here is an excerpt from Chapter Six of Desperate Pursuit in Venice for those who haven't read it yet. FYI: It has some adult content. This excerpt was published via MARSocial in connection with their Author of the Year Competition which I entered last year. http://marsocial.com/docs/desperate-p...

I have also recently entered a competition on LinkedIn. If you would like to support me, please follow the below link and click "Like" on LinkedIn.

I am a finalist in the MARSocial Author-of-the-Year competition. A different kind of competition.

At last a competition that is run by authors for the benefit of all authors involved in it. While authors compete against each other, they tweet and share the other authors’ excerpts in an extremely altruistic way. All of them have become close friends and supporters of each other thanks to MARSocial’s altruistic competition. To enter this competition authors simply had to post the most exciting excerpt from their book, (between 500 and 1,000 words and then tweet and re-tweet the excerpts via the Twitter button appearing at the end of each excerpt. MARSocial in conjunction with KeeranVaani Creations, an independent filmmaker from the UK, http://marsocial.com/2013/11/disturbe... will present the M.A.R.S. Author of the Year Award. The winner and the 20 runner-ups will be announced on February 1, 2014.

Follow my Board on Pinterest and read my CNNiReport for more details on this exciting and extremely altruistic competition.

A brief update to advise everyone that I have put the first two chapters of Desperate Pursuit in Venice on Wattpad for readers interested in that genre. I will post Chapter Three next Friday, Oct. 24, 2014.
Here is the link to the chapters on Wattpad

http://www.wattpad.com/76386150-despe...

The sequel Desperate Pursuit in Rio de Janeiro will be published soon and it would be best if Desperate Pursuit in Venice has been read first since it is a series and continuation of a storyline.

Hope you enjoy it.

I would be grateful to anyone who reads these books if you would put up a brief review on Goodreads, Amazon and/or any of the other sites the book is available at.

To anyone who does post a review, I will offer to send out a tweet of your choice to my about 150k followers. Just send me a message and tell me where I can find a review and, please mention a tweet you would like to be sent.

Thank you in advance. Much success to everyone.
