First Interview!

My first author interview is now available on worldliterarycafe.com, head on over and check it out here.

In other updates, I am currently editing book two in the Serissa Series. I have come up with some character profiles I’ll be adding to the site shortly. I am also in the process of going over some author questions for my upcoming author interview series. Not long after I’ll have a contest running with fun prizes. Lots to come soon so stay tuned!

Just a Little E-book Marketing.

Competing with thousands of e-books in the same genre is difficult, but I did. I came in #9 on the Top 100 Free downloaded books on Amazon a couple weeks ago. I advertised all over Facebook, Twitter, and a few websites. I intend to stretch that to other free promotion sites my next round, and then again to some paid ones the round after that. Trying different ideas as I go. So far I’m content with my free run. I had nearly 600 downloads in ONE day over five separate countries. I’m not entirel...

Serissa – One Day FREE!

I am running two promotions right now. One I did for Twitter last night, if I could hit 300 followers, I’d release Serissa for FREE for one day. We hit it by a landslide. 368! Good job guys, I appreciate all the help. Serissa will be free on 8/14! For one day only!

The second promotion is for Likes on Facebook as well as Twitter, I’m going for 500 Likes/Followers each! All the help I can get in spreading the word. I will make Serissa free again for anyone who missed it the first time, and for...

Review From a New Review & Editing Site

Here is the review I received from a new site, A Tiger’s Tale Edits & Reviews. They are currently accepting submissions for book reviews, and even editing services. Thanks T!

This is a book about a coming of age girl named Serissa, Sara for short, who has always been on the outside. Until suddenly her entire life is turned upside down.

After Sara and her mom move from a small town to a big city she thinks her life may actually change for once. Four years later it has. She has two best friends a...

Need Likes, Follows, and Sharing?

You may have seen Book Lovin’ Cat on my Facebook page recently. I saw all these fun advertisements for books, and wanted to contribute one for authors. This is my cat, and this is my graphic. You can borrow him if you like. All I ask in return is you do NOT direct link him. Please download and upload into your own FB photos for use, or upload to your blog, so on and so forth. A link back to me is nice too, but unnecessary. (click the pic for the full size!)

I need more likes, follows, and shar...

Borrow My Book on Amazon Prime.

If you weren’t aware I recently made Serissa available for Amazon Prime members. (Members can borrow the book for free!) I plan on making the book available for free as my numbers grow on Twitter and Facebook. If you don’t have Prime membership please feel free to pass the Twitter and Facebook sites around to your friends who love Young Adult books. I would love to release it sooner, but I’d like to release to a larger following to give more people an opportunity to download it.

In return for...

Two 5* Reviews.

Received another 5*review today! Thank you so much to my lovely readers for the support. See the reviews live here. If you haven’t left a review yet, but are interested in doing so you may do that on Amazon or Goodreads- or even both. You can friend me on Goodreads as well or even want to read the book. Anything helps and of course is appreciated.

Review one— “I read this book being a fan of Twilight and other similar stories. I love supporting new authors so I thought I’d give it a shot. It’s...

Do You Remember The Neverending Story?

I just introduced this movie to my thirteen-year-old niece. She’d never seen it, but it was a nice way to extend the importance of reading especially since she’s the start age of my target audience, and she’s now reading Serissa. Apparently, according to her nobody reads anymore!

Frankly, I remember watching this movie as often as I could as a child, couldn’t get enough of it. This was a classic fantasy portraying just how real books can feel when you get invested. I’ve recently heard they ar...

Another Angel Series… Yep, busted!

I began this series nearly four years ago. While I admit my writing style is still evolving, Serissa begged to be out there, and her readers requested her to be as well. I am currently trying to network and meet new people in order to help support my book, and also to be involved in the now. I recognize there are many angel stories, but this one needed to be told… or so I’ve been told.

I’m not going to back down from the over saturated market for like themes. Yet, I felt I should explain how S...
