November’s book questions for Rebecca Hefner The End Of Hatred

[Andra, Admin Extraordinaire]

OMG!!! How in the world did you come up with this series!?! What was your inspiration? How did you come up with such unique names? And is there any plans to put the rest of the series in KU?

Thanks so much for the awesome questions, Cassandra! I'll go ahead and answer them and look forward to answering everyone else's questions on 11/27!

*Miranda and Sathan appeared in my head over a decade ago and I began writing The End of Hatred. Then, I was a medical sales rep in Corporate America, with no aspirations of becoming an author. But as self-publishing grew, I eventually decided I wanted to teach myself how to publish these stories. Like all of you, I'm a voracious reader, and think the world should be filled with limitless love stories! Eventually, after many...many...many rewrites, I found my editor and proofreader and published the story you see today. However, the world that appeared in my head is pretty much the same as when it appeared years ago. These characters are so real to me!

*I love making up names! It's one of my favorite thing about being a fantasy/paranormal romance author. I usually just play around with words on my tongue until something sounds cool! Haha.

*I'm a KU subscriber and as much as I would love to put these books in KU, unfortunately, KU requires exclusivity with Amazon. Not only does this mean I can't sell my books on other platforms (Nook, iBooks, Kobo, etc.) but it means I can't have them in libraries. It was very important for me to have my books available in libraries through services like Libby, Overdrive and Hoopla so, unfortunately, I don't have any plans to put them into KU. However, I do offer 99¢ sales quite often on each of my books. Make sure you follow me on Instagram, Facebook & sign up for my newsletter, because I usually announce the sales there.

Thanks so much for reading! Have a good day!

Thank you so much Rebecca!! That is so awesome that it is more important to you to have your books available to libraries!!!

That’s so neat how you pick names. I’m so glad you decided to self publish, I really really loved this book. It has become one of my favorites that will be read again and again!!

Thank you so much, Cassandra! Being an indie author is grueling and requires so much dedication and hard work so your wonderful feedback is amazing. I truly appreciate it. :-)

Hope you and everyone in the group have a great week!

Hi everyone! Happy day after Thanksgiving. Hope you're all recovering from your food comas (I still am!). Just a reminder I'm around to take your questions all day! You can ask me about The End of Hatred (or any of my other books), or anything else you'd like to know. Hope you all have a great Friday!
