What's wrong?

Please be honest. Jumping In Puddles - hasn't made the slightest bit of a splash. So what's wrong? The cover, the blurb, the price? Too much choice out there? Everyone want rough alphas rather than funny ones? Too much sex, not enough sex. Don't like paranormal? Don't like me?

I thought Jumping in Puddles was one of my better stories but I'm obviously not connecting somehow. Any ideas as to what I can do?


In a desperate desire for a few comments or even better - a few reviews, I offer an ecopy of this book for the first person to ask for it. Which will be no one I suspect. There, that's the sort of mood I'm in!





Jago doesn't just inherit a title after the death of his parents, he's saddled with the crumbling money pit of a mansion that's been in his family for centuries. With his medical career on hold, he struggles to secure the future of Sharwood Hall, trudging uphill with no finish line in sight.

The sins of a past generation fall on faerie Ellie and her family, and each year they must trek to the exact center of the UK to recharge their energy. Until they find the Kewen, treasure guarded and lost by their ancestors hundreds of years ago, they're banished from Faerieland. Ellie's father has spent fifty years searching, now it's his eldest child's burden.

As a stunning woman sweeps into Jago's world in a thunderstorm, he can't stop thinking she's too good to be true. For little reason other than her sweet and generous heart, Ellie is helping to put Sharwood to rights and leaving him more and more suspicious she wants something other than him. When family and duty clashes with trust and love, it's debatable whether a perilous leap of faith, directly off a bridge into treacherous waters, will keep lovers from being swept apart.

message 2: by Jai (new)

Jai I think I just totally missed that this came out. I've read most of what you've written, and I would have, at the very least, put this on my TBR list and my Amazon wish list, and wasn't there. (It is now.)

Could others have missed the announcement of it? Was a big enough deal not made of it?


message 3: by Mx3 (new)

Mx3 I didn't even know you had a new book out last month. Maybe more time promoting your books on Goodreads and Amazon. Most of the new authors I have on my Kindle is by word of mouth from the Amazon board (Romance Forum) and from tooling around on here.


message 4: by Barbara (new)

Barbara Elsborg Hmm - think I've not sussed this out then. I haven't been on the Amazon board - gives self a slap!!!


message 5: by Tania (new)

Tania I think the cover is fabulous, the price seems reasonable and I love your quirky flawed characters! An Ordinary Girl and Kiss a Falling Star are two of my favourite books of yours. Maybe you need more self promotion? I follow the authors I enjoy reading on here or in twitterland. Shameless continual self promotion is a continual reminder of new book releases.

Andrea I didn't know this was out! Send me a copy?


message 7: by Barbara (new)

Barbara Elsborg Can't Andrea, sorry. Could only give out two and they're gone.


message 8: by Andrea (new)

Andrea It never hurts to try;) I just read the sample and it is my next book TBR. You are one of my favorite authors!


message 9: by Barbara (new)

Barbara Elsborg Thanks, Andrea!!


message 10: by Shannon (new)

Shannon I just read Digging Deeper last week and LUVED it! Maybe tweet some more about this one and we can retweet and help get the word out.


message 11: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Hi Barbara, Just finished this one and loved it BUT the first four chapters are hard to get through. Once you get past those the book completely sucks you in. Let me know if you'd like to chat about it.
