Margaret’s comments from the Navigating Indieworld Discussing All Things Indie group.

I'm glad to hear the takeovers went well for everyone. I'd love to participate next time, just couldn't commit this time as I'm crazy busy getting high schoolers through AP testing. Some day I'll write a book about all the excuses, the pleas, and the crazy things that go wrong even when you think everything is so perfectly organized. Actually, the Chinese test I proctored yesterday would probably fill a book all on its own.
Congratulations to all who participated!

I got accepted for a BookBub featured ad on my first try.

Okay, so it's an international deal rather than a US deal but I'm still mighty pleased and I only have to wait until 05/..."

Congratulations, Alex, that's wonderful news! Here's hoping it's a smashing success!!

Wonderful news!

Amazing work on the banners for D.J. If you'd like to try your hand at mine, I'd be grateful.

I have a new release as of last Friday, Anchored in Misty Lake. It's the fourth in the series, the first three are
Misty Lake
The Inn at Misty Lake
Misty Lake in Focus

Whatever you want to do...just the new release or work in all of the books. I'd love something catchy to help promote the new one :)
Please let me know what else you need.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much!

I voted, Alex, as I thoroughly enjoyed Where There's a Will. Good luck to you!

Thank you!

Release day is here! The fourth book in my Misty Lake Series, Anchored in Misty Lake, is available today. It's been a long haul, and I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be at the finish line. The books in the Misty Lake Series are clean, romantic suspense novels set in Northern Minnesota, centering around the McCabe family. I hope you'll take a look.

Oh, and thrilling to me was the fact that BookBub sent out a new release notice. Not that I have many followers, but still exciting.

Available on Amazon http://a.co/gm14roi
Free to read with Kindle Unlimited.

I've mentioned them occasionally, just references. As Theodore stated, I'd never put words in their mouths. And keep in mind referencing current celebs really dates your work so if you're trying to avoid pinning it down to a very specific time, I'd avoid even naming them.

Oh, dear God. I would have needed heavy sedation.

One week until the release of the fourth book in my Misty Lake Series, Anchored in Misty Lake
It's taken a long time to get this one done and ready for publication so I'm pretty darn excited the release date is in sight!

Congratulations, Carole, how exciting! Good luck with it, can't wait to hear more.

INJECTION INTO THE EYEBALL!!! Oh my gosh, I can't even tell you how scary that is to me. I hope it helps.

Carole wrote: "Keep typing, Alexis!!!!"

Well, that stinks! Of course, the ideas come when you're feeling too lousy to do anything with them. Maybe if you can rasp out a few words, you can record your ideas? I did that once when I couldn't face looking at the computer screen because my head was pounding. Feel better!

That's a nice surprise! Congratulations!

Great! Good luck with the release, Alex!

Congratulations, Carole!

I like 17 but don't love the font used for the title. Also like 18.
I don't care for 16, too much red.
Good luck!

Thanks, Ted, it's a struggle for me to choose excerpts from my books whether it be for posting on a website or reading out loud to a group. I recently did a reading at my local library and I don't even want to tell you the amount of time I spent fretting over the excerpt I chose.

I did the same thing, opened new files for the remaining books in my current series, in hopes of keeping the continuity in the series. I haven't tried a paperback with KDP, but hope that if the change happens, the process and product are similar to what is currently available with CreateSpace. I'm not good with change!!
