Nathan Bush | 88 comments Great review, Carrie!

That's good news, Alex. Financial gains are always good!

Congrats Erica!


I started a new WIP (have sidelined a previous work of mini stories) that will be a new series of short side stories that will hopefully compliment The Foley Chronicles series. And, my second book for The Foley Chronicles, Root of Evil, has been released(June 13)!

Lucia Davis (luciandavis) | 28 comments Hi everyone! Lots of good news I missed, while taking a short break from promoting books after the baby, but now slowly trying to get back on track. I received a wonderful spotlight on Jennifer S. Alderson 's website. Thank you Jennifer! http://jennifersalderson.com/2017/06/...

Amy Hamilton | 2560 comments Dear whatever power you pray to-I've managed to get my Modified cover updated for both the paperback and ebook versions on Smashwords and finally Amazon. And now I think I've gone through the rigmarole of updating Goodreads (from my phone because I'm at the caravan this weekend) Sheesh.

I need new eyes!

P.D.R. Lindsay (pdrlindsay) | 84 comments Big hugs to everyone. Keep smiling. We've - Writer's Choice published 6 novels and everyone has been a winner or short listed in a reputable comp. Only wish it boosted our sales more.

Ben Jackson | 320 comments Hi Prakash, while it's awesome you published your book, a lot of these groups on Goodreads are made up of other authors.

There are specific threads in groups where you can promote your book and ask for reviews. Just in the half a dozen groups I'm involved with, I've seen you post your book in almost every thread in every group.

Try to read a thread and what it's about before just posting your book in it.

Becky Benishek (becky_benishek) | 166 comments I did have a something-good happen even as I am still feeling like I'm far behind on pretty much everything book-related: A publisher picked up a children's book manuscript I'd sent earlier this year, and I have a signed contract I still look at every now and again just to make sure!

I recently sent over the "this text goes on this page, here are the illustration notes" pack per their instructions, so I'm waiting to hear next steps.

I'm also looking forward to Erica G's Facebook Hop next month! I need to get back into marketing my existing books, though those woes I shall save for the Arrgh!-related threads. :)

C.L. Lynch (cllynchauthor) | 210 comments Hurray for Alex and Becky!

I'm stoked because IndieReader posted my review from the Discovery Awards and while I knew it would be positive, since I won, I am blown away by WHAT the reviewer praised.

Most of my reviews praise my humor. Which is great, and I'm glad people find my book laugh-out-loud funny. But my book has a lot of heart, too.

You'd think that since my book was submitted in the humor category, this review, like most others, would focus on the humor too. But no.

"CHEMISTRY by C. L. Lynch begins as a humorous take on Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight, but quickly turns into a story of a bullied teenager learning to trust others. Stella Blunt is not an easy character to like, which is exactly why it’s so great to see her lowering her guard as she learns to trust – and eventually love-"

Guys. He saw through the swear words and the jokes and actually reviewed the heart of my book.

I'm so happy right now.
