*blush* Thank youuuuu!!! It feels great - like I picked out my kid's clothes and no one at school laughed :O M&M were my first couple and have a lot of real estate in my heart so again, thank you!

I hope you told her to sign up for your newsletter to stay up to date. :p"

I did and now I am totally guilted me into planning to post some new stuff to my blog lol. Ugh, I am not a natural blogger but it is important. Your gifs give me life!

I just got a message on Goodreads from someone who is nearly finished with my romance novella and she was writing to ask if I planned to turn Marc and Marlee's story into a series because she wants to see more of them as a couple. Woot! It totally made my day. A comment like this is enough to make every case of writer's block, every mediocre review, every marketing snafoo, every indie challenge super worth it. When one person connects with something you've worked hard on and takes time to reach out and let you know it you can't help but smile. So keep writing, fellow indies, keep creating worlds that other people will be happy to live in for a few pages. It is so worth it!

Honk for multi-tasking perfection!

I feel bad for laughing but this is hilarious!

Samesies!

Very interesting. Do you use promo companies or go to horror-cons?

You got it :)

Anything I can do?

Funny read. I'm lucky because I have my own writing space, our sitting room, which my husband rarely bothers to enter. The exceptions are some weekend nights when he wants to watch Netflix. We live alone with our puppy so I have few interruptions aand if my husband sticks his head in the door to tell me something and I make a pained face he knows to come back in about ten minutes once I've worked out a sticky plot/character issue lol. He even tries to keep fresh flowers on my desk - as a romance author this does wonders for my creativity, believe it or not.

Did you have to have a facebook page to run the ad or just a profile?

Wow!! Pretty much flawless - I got the storyline effortlessly and the tone is much more dramatic! My only question remains what is a crib-mate? A childhood friend? Otherwise, nice! :)

It seems like the Ancient of Days is an organization and not an individual person. Mentioning Adam's cience prize isn't very powerful because we don't know the association. Perhaps finding a similar way to let us know it is prestigious and Adam is super intelligent would be more effective. What is a cribbie and why wouldn't Adam's family want him to go to the Fleet Academy? The lessons he learns there seem important but it feels as if he has forgotten that he is supposed to stop the Psychics and save the king. I'm sure it's intertwined but it reads like two separate books.

Hope this helps a bit. The story does sound like something I would read!

Bargain Bo..."

I think that's great! I can't use them because they don't accept novellas. I think they are better than Books Butterfly.

You have little to lose, I believe, but others with more experience may have more valuable input. I'm curious to know what promo companies you've used before successfully.
