White Light by Anna Simpson / Cover Reveal

 
Title: White LightAuthor: Anna SimpsonPublisher: Three Worlds PressGenre: CozyRelease Date: December 22/2015     
About The Book:
Emma never dreamed of being a super-sleuth. In her mind, she’s more Scooby Doo than Nancy Drew and when her nosy neighbor, Mrs. Perkins, drags her to an anniversary party to solve a mystery, she rolls her eyes, buys a box of chocolates and hops in the car. What’s a party without an attack on its host—or more accurately on the host’s grandson, sparking an allergic reaction and moving the party to the hospital waiting room. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect. Emma and Mrs. Perkins, along with Great Aunt Alice (a spirit with boundary issues who keeps stepping into Emma’s body like a new dress and playing matchmaker), dive into an investigation that almost gets Emma killed along with the man they are trying to protect. With so many reasons to kill him and so much to be gained if he died, Emma and Mrs. Perkins must unravel the tenuous ties that point to every member of his family as potential killers. Even if it means going back to the psych ward, Emma will protect her friend and this innocent man. What good is freedom if it's haunted with guilt?

A Clueless Woman by T.B. Markinson / Book Blast

I'm co-hosting Unicorn Bell today with this post:Dear Late-Blooming Writer
***
Title: A Clueless WomanAuthor: T.B. MarkinsonPrequel to A Woman Lost

BOOK LINKS:
Amazon US / Amazon UK Amazon Canada / Amazon Australia   Goodreads

Blurb: 
Graduate student Lizzie Petrie feels more comfortable around books than people. Although an expert in the Hitler Youth, she’s a novice in love. Her former lesbian lover is blackmailing her, and not even those closest to Lizzie know the full story of their abusive relationship.
When visiting high school English teacher Sarah crosses Lizzie’s path at the campus, their attraction is instant, but not without complications. As they start to spend more time together, suspicions arise from both women in this sexy piece of LGBT fiction.
Plenty of good-natured teasing takes place between lovers as well as between PhD students in this lesbian contemporary romance. No relationship path ever runs smoothly, and oftentimes, those who can’t keep their mouth shut hasten necessary confrontation.
Lizzie finds herself buried in a mess of lies in this romantic comedy. The harder she tries to keep Sarah and the rest of her friends from finding out the truth about her first girlfriend, the more endearingly clueless she becomes.

Excerpt:
          “Do you think I’m pathetic?” I asked Ethan as he added gobs of sugar to his Starbucks house blend.
          He dipped his head almost a foot and peered at me through his spectacles. “How am I supposed to answer that?”
          “Honestly. Do you think I’m pathetic?”
          Ethan maneuvered his lanky frame past three untidy tables and I followed, grimacing at the messiness of the place, until we settled on one that was almost clean. It was a little after ten on Saturday, and although it was quiet now, the early morning rush must have taken the staff by surprise. Two teenagers leaned against the counter, dazed and confused.
          “Okay, what’s got your panties in a bunch this morning?” Ethan set down his coffee, took off his coke-bottle thick glasses, and cleaned them with a cloth.
          “The other night, William and Janice got on my case about how long it’s been since I experienced The Big O.” I didn’t bother whispering the last part. Aside from the employees behind the counter, the place was deserted.
          “The Big O?” He hitched up one of his thin eyebrows.
          “You know. In bed.”
          “Oh, you mean the last time you had an orgasm.” He wiped both eyes with his fingers before replacing his glasses. “And?”
          “And what?”
          He snorted. “When was the last time?”
          I scratched my chin. “Not sure really. Meg.”
          “That was well over a year ago.”
          “Good grief. Not you as well. For someone who doesn’t like sex, I didn’t think you would gang up on me, too.”
          “Gang up on you?” He laughed. “I’m just curious.” He ignored my comment about not liking sex. With the exception of coffee, Ethan disliked fluids of all types, but especially bodily fluids. It made me wonder how he’d managed to get married. “And their comments got you thinking?” he added.
          “Yes. I mean no. Maybe,” I stammered. “I just keep thinking about it.”
          “About what? The Big O or not having anyone in your life?” As usual, Ethan hit the nail on the head.
          “Just the other day, I ran into one of my former professors. This guy is ancient, in a wheelchair, and he smells like an old person who’s about to move on to the next world. Out of the blue he started telling me about how he and his lady friend went to the movies. I was flabbergasted. How did he have a lady friend? I don’t even have a pet. Not even a goldfish.”
          “Do you want a lady friend?” Ethan’s tone bordered on teasing.

12 Days of Writer's Christmas

SALE RESULTS: Last month I put 30 SECONDS on sale for two weeks to boost sales. I received tremendous support. So many people tweeted about it and posted on their blogs. THANK YOU! I received a couple of new reviews and heard from several people that they got 30 Seconds. I won’t know the figures until this quarter ends, but I wanted to share with you an image of its rank. You CAN see how low it was and how it fluctuated during the 2 week sale and afterward during Black Friday. It is dropping again but I knew that would happen.


Actually, it’s still 99cents on Amazon because they haven’t changed it back. So you can still get it for a discount! :D
Now for some fun. If you don't want to read it all, skip to the bottom.

3 R's: Rank, Ratings, and Reviews

When you publish your first book it can be easy to get sucked into the 3 R’s: Rank, Ratings, and Reviews.

1.Rank
All books published on Amazon have a ranking. The higher the number, the lower your book is, which means no one has bought your book in weeks or months. Don’t worry. I have been there. Most authors just starting out and with smaller fan bases have been there. It’s normal. Unless you’re a big-time author or have a big publishing house pushing your book, someone buying your book every hour of every day. And the rank changes hourly.
Watching rank numbers can be depressing. I know it is. Especially if you’re doing everything you can to get your name and book out there and your rank is only dropping.
So what do I recommend? Don’t stress about it. If you’re doing everything you can, then there’s nothing else you can do. Just remember: rankings fluctuate.

TIP #1:One thing you can do to raise your ranking? Put your eBook for sale. 99cents is best. Then promote it EVERYWHERE. Your rank will rise. But be warned that it usually drops again when the sale ends.

Image from Flickr.
2.Ratings
We all want 5 stars for our books. None of us want 1 star. That’s just the way it goes. No one wants to hear that someone hated something they slaved over. We’d rather get praise. But not everyone is going to like our work. The quicker we learn that and realize that ratings are just one person’s opinion, the better we will be.
3.Reviews
Reviews are great...if they are favorable. If they are brutal, we want to hide and cry and eat a gallon of ice cream. But then again...even bad ones can bring sales. Many readers are actually intrigued by bad reviews and buy the book to see if they agree or not. That’s probably why so many people read 50 Shades of Grey. Or at least that’s my theory. Curiosity was the other driving force for the success of that book.

TIP #2:Remember what I said about ratings being one person’s opinion? The same goes for reviews. If you get a nasty one, just tell yourself that you didn’t write your book for that person. And that’s fine because we can’t make everyone happy.

Now if you solicit reviews from reviewers, you could get golden reviews from them or reviews with low ratings. The fact is a reviewer from a review blog/site may not be as interested in your book as a reader who buys your book would be. So solicit carefully.

TIP #3:Do your research to make sure the reviewer takes your genre, and check the reviews they’ve given recently to books similar to yours. This can give you an idea of how they might treat yours.

Want to get more reviews? Try Amazon’s Top Reviewers.



QUESTION:What do you do when your ranking is low? How do you deal with bad ratings and reviews?

15 Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas

There were many, many Christmases when I didn’t have money to get anyone gifts, so I’d make homemade gifts. Even if I had to buy something, I could use it for several people’s gifts. And I always started in October or November.
Many people may think homemade gifts suck, but they are actually better than gifts bought at stores because they mean more and can be cherished. Every year my mom crafts Christmas gifts for all of us (kids and grandkids) and we all love them.

NOTE: I know that not everyone is crafty and can do these things. This list might give you ideas of what you can do with your skills.


1. Write a flash fiction piece with a loved one as the main character, or a poem about your loved one. 
2. Make jewelry. (Bracelets, necklaces, earrings.)
A shell necklace I made for my sister 2 years ago.
3. Decorate a picture frame with anything. (Shells, dried flowers.)
4. Paint a ceramic or picture.
5. Paint and decorate a wooden jewelry box.
6. Make flavored olive oil.
7. Carpenters – make a birdhouse or bookcase.
8. Quilters/Knitters – quilts/afghans, pillowcases, place mats, dollies.
A quilt my mom made from my sister-in-law a few Christmases ago.
9. Potpourri/satchels
10. Candles
11. Perfume, bubble bath, lotion.
12. Collage – put pictures of you and your loved one in a frame.
13. Scrap book/photo album.
14. Desserts – cookies, pie, etc.
15. Cloth dolls (girl)

QUESTION: Have you ever given or received handmade gifts?

Writing About: Autumn

Autumn is my favorite season and I love writing about it. If you ever want to write about this time of the year, check out these pointers:
1.Change of Season
Leaves are changing pretty colors—oranges, red, and yellows. The weather is becoming chilly, the days are shorter. Don’t miss the opportunity to describe the colorful foliage and the crispness in the air as nothing says autumn more than the colors of nature and the feel of the temperature gradually lowering.
Image from Wikimedia.
2.School
In the United States, kids go back to school in the autumn, so if your main character has children or works with kids (perhaps he/she is a teacher), this time will impact his/her home and work life.
3.Cool Temperatures
The heat of summer has passed (at least if your characters don’t live in Florida), and the temperature is dropping to a nice degree that could prompt your characters to open their windows. I know I take advantage of the nice autumn temperatures as often as I can in the Sunshine State.
4.Holidays
Halloween – Now is the tome to honor your passed loved ones, to decorate your house with spooky knick-knacks, and to pick out costumes with your kids to go trick-or-treating/ Your characters can do all of those things too.
Thanksgiving – Let your characters gather for a Thanksgiving feast at their parents’ or grandparents’ house. Food, football, laughter, and maybe a little family drama make this holiday what it is. Explore all of those things with your characters.
First Thanksgiving.

5.Football Season
In the U.S., autumn is the time for NFL. Maybe your hero and heroine bond while watching a game or they go on a date to see their favorite team play. These would be a fun scene to write.
6.Food/Drinks
Each season has its own menu. Here are some of the goodies associate with autumn:
Food – apples, pomegranates, squash, turkey, pumpkin pie/bread, cranberry sauce, carrot cake, gingerbread cookies.
Drinks – apple juice, spiced cider, spiced hot tea, pumpkin-flavored coffee.
7.Autumn Fun
There are many things your characters can do during this season such as:
Game hunting, hayrides, walk through haunted houses, apple picking, fairs/festivals, visit pumpkin patches, go on a ghost walk, trick-or-treat, go to a loved one’s grave, and Halloween parties.
Let your characters enjoy a couple of these to bring the season to life in your story.
8.Pumpkins
Pumpkins are the popular vegetable for autumn. They can be made into stew/soup, added to special pizza and ravioli, and used for countless desserts including my favorite pumpkin white chocolate chip cookies.
If one of your characters is a baker or chef, he/she can make many of these. And if your MC is a mom or dad, he/she can go to a pumpkin patch with their kids, carves pumpkins, and roast the seeds for a healthy snack.
Image from Wikipedia.
9.Shorter Days
Daylight Savings happens in autumn when we turn back out clocks an hour. The days will grow shorter, which means it’ll get dark earlier. Darkness is always great to utilize in stories to add suspense and autumn can be an eerie season due to Halloween, you can use the dark in your story.
See:Utilize the Dark
10.Clothing
Summer clothes will start to disappear and quarter sleeves, light cardigans/sweaters, a scarf, and darker colors (browns, purples) will start to appear in everyone’s wardrobe. Dress your character’s accordingly. And keep in mind what your setting is as slightly thicker lays will be needed further North than in the South.

Author Interview with Patsy Collins / Firestarter

Today I have Patsy Collins as a guest for the release of her new book, FIRESTARTER. She’s dishing about her handsome hero and fireman-attracted heroine. Let’s get started!

Hi, Patsy! Please tell us about your current release.
Firestarter is a romantic comedy with a hot fireman and a few flames!
Blurb - Alice has a fantasy. It starts with being rescued by a hunky fireman, involves the kiss of life and ends in him not needing his uniform. At the New Forest Show, Alice is offered an innocent version of her dream. Reluctantly she turns down fireman Hamish's invitation. Despite Alice's blameless behaviour, boyfriend Tony's obsessive jealousy kicks in. Hamish wants to take Tony's place, but a hoaxer ensures Alice already sees far too much of Hampshire Fire Service. The threat of an explosive sprout surprise, her mum's baking, sister Kate's mind boggling pep talks and the peculiar behaviour of Alice's boss Miles provide distractions.
Is Alice really in danger? What is Kate up to? Can Hamish possibly be as perfect as he seems? It takes Alice masses of wonderful food, disgusting wine, smelly mud, red footed crows and steamy Welsh passion, but she finds the answers. And rethinks her fantasy.
Title:FirestarterAuthor:Patsy CollinsGenre:Romantic comedyRelease Date: 5th November 2015
BOOK LINKS: Amazon

1. How did you pick the title for your book?
At first, Firestarter was just the working title to save the document but the more I wrote the more saw how appropriate it was. There's the firemen aspect and the challenges they face, there are passions which set hearts ablaze, a cosy fire in a cute Welsh cottage (and the action heats up there too!) and ... there's stuff I can't mention for fear of spoiling the plot!
2. Why did you choose the setting for Firestarter?
It's mostly set fairly close to my home or in places we visit fairly often in our campervan. The van acts as my mobile office and allows me to do a lot of my writing 'on location'. The locations actually influenced the plot line in places - especially when it comes to scenes featuring wildlife. (Some of the characters volunteer in a wildlife sanctuary.)
3. I wish I had a mobile office! Did you do special research for Firestarter?
Yes, as well as learning a lot about birds and seals I also had to research firemen - it's a tough job being a writer! The local fire service were very helpful, as was my friend Suzy Jones whose son is a fireman. She gave me useful insights into their camaraderie and life off-duty.
I also had to eat vast amounts of yummy food, particularly cakes. 
4. Who doesn't like to eat cake? What would women find irresistible about Hamish?
Not much ... unless they happen to like men in uniform, or to be fond of broad shoulders and muscular thighs. I suppose his sun-bleached blond curls could be considered attractive and his grey-green eyes and cheeky grin definitely are. So is his sense of humour, loyalty to his friends and caring nature. Oh and he's nice to animals, can cook and gives a really thorough massage.
I may have developed the very slightest crush.
Patsy in her campervan office.
5. I think all female writers fall for their heroes. ;) What would we find in Alice's purse if we went snooping?
Chocolate, lipstick, mobile phone (cell phone), cash, chocolate, keys, family photos and chocolate.
6.Are any of your characters based on real people?
 I'm going to say 'no'. I think that would be wisest.
7.What is Alice's biggest weakness?
Firemen! She'd say that's not true, but the poor girl is in denial. She's also very fond of chocolate, cake and clothes.
8. Firemen are mine too. :P Is Hamish a bad boy or a gentleman?
A gentleman - and a hero. Not that I'm biased or anything.
9. Neither am I. Haha! What are a few things we would find in or on your desk?
Dictionary, musket ball, glass goat, model Scotty dog, scrap paper, notebooks, pens, cup of tea, cake.
10. Your advice to new writers.
Write what interests you. Create stories you'd like to read yourself, about characters you want to spend time with. It takes a long time to write a book and you want to enjoy the process. 

BIO: 
Patsy Collins lives and writes on the south coast of England. She's the author of hundreds of published short stories and four novels. When she's not writing she likes gardening, photography and cake eating. She shares her home with her husband and head with her characters.
