ARCs for The Mommy Letters

[Anne]

Would anyone like an eARC for "The Mommy Letters," the novel I am releasing in September? I'll have them available by Labor Day weekend (as PDFs) and would love to gather some early reviews prior to the go-live date a week or so later. (It's a moving target; I may have arm surgery at the end of the month, so I can't commit to a specific live date quite yet.)

Here's a link to the cover reveal and blurb on my blog, so you can look at and decide if you'd like one! http://www.annemcarpenter.com/2011/11...

Thanks!

Anne

Ack, the disclaimer. Aren't reviews tedious sometimes?

Disclaimer: this is *not* a request for "good" reviews but for honest reviews. Also, if a review is posted to Amazon, you have to indicate if you've received that book as a free copy as a reviewer.

To be honest, Anne, I'd rather buy the book and review it without having to state any disclaimers. Otherwise, my review may not hold. Just let me know when it's available in Kindle format.

[Anne]

Will do, Norma - and thank you!

I love a Copy for my Nook, Though at the moment if you do not mind at the moment for me to read it I am trying to get to my nook real soon here to catch those books on there and I love to review it and place it on my Blog, Goodreads, Barnes and Noble and LibraryThing,Shelari

I will be reading from my Nook as soon as I finish my Libarary books and one review book I have at the moment. I can add it and get to every soon.

[Anne]

Sounds good, Lindsay! As soon as it's ready, I'll shoot you a copy.

[Christine]

Anne i was wondering if you can send me the book and autograph it please?

[Anne]

Yes, you bet!

[Anne]

I just got my last round of edits back, and so I'll be feverishly working through them...TML will likely be ready the first week of September, but to protect my sometimes over-eager self and sanity, I'm going to promise no later than the 15th! I'll shoot out electronic and print copies to all ya'll who want them as soon as they're ready!

Glad things are looking good. It's always nice when aspects of a book come together to make a whole...

[Christine]

Aww thanks anne

[Adele]

I would like a copy for kindle please. All the best with your release

[Christine]

It's nice to meet you Adele and Norma

[Adele]

You too christine

[Christine]

I like your name Adele

[Adele]

Thanks Christine, apparently is French, my mum liked it and it was unusual at the time.

[Christine]

You have the same name as that singer

[Adele]

yes I do, but I am much older than her lol

[Anne]

Yep - I was afraid I was potentially facing a bloodbath from my editors, and was pleasantly surprised. *Whew!* In fact, my police officer husband probably contributed the most necessary changes to my MS, to get the police-related details right. I'm lucky to have him to fix my mistakes! And I'm lucky to have a fabulous critique group, including a professional editor.

Welcome, Adele! :-)

Great to hear! Congrats on the "good" edit.

[Anne]

I just re-read what I wrote and want to correct something, because I think I implied that my husband was more helpful than my group and really, they're all lifesavers for me. My editors gave me GREAT things that I need to work on/fix - a few character and plot holes - but my husband was the pickiest of the bunch. Funny! :-)

Thanks. :)

[Stephen]

Would you like to do an Author Interview on my blog (stephenormsby.wordpress.com) as it is not really my kind of book! I can post it to coincide with book release if you wish.

[Tammy]

Anne I would like an arc to read and review in pdf form. That is if you wouldn't mind. Let me know. Thanks!

[Christine]

Your welcome and i hope everyone has a great labor day

[Anne]

I would love to, Stephen!

Tammy - can definitely send by PDF. I was just telling Christine that I'm finishing up working on the edits I got back and then it's off to the proofreader. Will be pubbed after that, so copies should be available very, very soon!

[Christine]

Alright thanks Anne

[Tammy]

Thank you so much Anne!

[Anne]

Thank YOU!!!

[Christine]

Your welcome Anne and i can't wait to get my new book
