Vying for a Place in the Sun

And always, yes always
We got to live for the...
Sun sun sun sun
Sun sun sun sun
Go!
Sun sun sun sun
Sun sun sun sun

*(Lyrics from “I Live for the Sun," a 1965 single written by Rick Henn and performed by American pop band The Sunrays)

Without elbowing ribs or wrestling to the ground anyone or everyone else vying for their place in the sun, I am civilly jockeying for my prominent position among read-worthy authors in the vast universe of Amazon.

While I pivot from Authors Den through posting everything I’ve ever written or will ever write, I’ve recently become more active at Goodreads by embracing the authors program and joining groups pertinent to my noble cause of connecting with kindred authors and avid readers.

I recently perused the Goodreads list of new May releases which became available this week. Staggering in amount, from a reader’s viewpoint, I’m thinking, “So many potentially good reads; so little time.”

From an author’s perspective, I envision my upcoming novel currently in production, 'An Enlightening Quiche,' making its runway debut in the genre of Fiction on a future monthly release list.

While an eccentric stage persona, self-deprecating humor, wild hair and clothes, and an exaggerated cackling laugh served comedienne Phyllis Diller well, I will vie for my place in the sun by utilizing my feminine wiles—er uh, those pertaining to Women’s Fiction: an enticing title, attractive book cover, attention-getting blurb, and engaging chapter excerpt.

Come hither. Ha, ha, ha, a ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
