Cecily’s Comments (group member since Feb 02, 2017)

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

I would love to write something, too - but I wasn't sure what to write. Thanks, Carole, for the ideas! I'll work on something - maybe since I'm a librarian in 'real life' I can write about what it's like to be both a librarian and author and the perspective that gives me.

I've only ever used Createspace. What are some good alternatives?

Cat memes are the best thing about Facebook ;)"

yessss

I have been wondering about this too . . .

looking forward to any answers.

I'm going to skip this next round, but will be back!

I didn't get answers back from Julie yet . . .

I don't have money to spend on anything writing-wise, either - just trying to get the word out and find readers without investing any money. Just time. Lots of time. Kids have to eat, right Amy?

Amy wrote: "Traffic to my blog quadrupled in 24 hours from 20ish views. Cecily's interview has been viewed over 80 times now on blogger and 50 here."

WOW!

okay, thanks!

R.L. wrote: "Articles for the rounds shouldn't be published until Monday guys. One author Monday the other on Thursday. I apologize as this wasn't spelled out before but I will clarify this on the signup form. ..."

So we need to post one interview Monday, and the other on Thursday, correct? Just want to be sure . . .

ack - I shared the wrong Amazon page! Duh.

I was really happy to share that promo! The cover is spectacular. I don't imagine ever having a cover of my own like that - not the kind of story I write. But - it would be lovely to be able to claim it!

and - I've read Davenport House as well - this is perfect for Downton Abbey fans. Very clean, crisp writing that echoes the polished feel of this historical period.

Hello all - here is my Amazon page:

I blog here on Goodreads, too, and would be happy to feature either a promotional post, review, or interview with anyone here. Send me a message with your contact information if you are interested, or email me at sisterswolfe at gmail.com with the details you would like me to include in a post and I can schedule you in.

My novella, A Harvest of Stars, is my first Kindle Unlimited title - I just switched it over this past week. Does anyone have any experience/comments on KU? I thought I'd try to see if it made any difference in sales. I don't really understand all of the details but figured I'd jump in and try.

I write different genres, from my Christian historical romance series (Cliff Walk Courtships, book one is Throne of Grace) to contemporary romance/family drama (A Harvest of Stars).

My next book, Reckless Treasure, falls into that last category, and I was contemplating submitting it to Kindle Scout. Does anyone have any experience with KS? I had originally planned to release it at the end of April, with eARCs available to reviewers/bloggers mid-March, but just discovered Kindle Scout, so I'm not sure which route to take now.

Sorry, I have a lot of questions, but a lot of you seem to have a lot of knowledge and I hope to learn from you all - thanks so much!

I just read/reviewed Ember Raine Winters's Beautiful Delusions - which was spectacular! I kept reading during my breaks at work and I admit, was a little late getting back on task all week! I was a part of the release day launch party on Facebook for this great title, and it was a lot of fun, so many thanks to Ember for including me!

I read Kay MacLeod's Heirs of Power - great start to a promising fantasy series!
