Introduction

[M.J.]

Happy Holidays!

After nearly 30 years of writing in private, I finally took the plunge and published “The Real Me Because of You” (a steamy closed door rom-com with a Filipina-American lead).

As a teacher, my promo game was nonexistent since I couldn’t afford ARC’s & paid promotions/advertising. But I made a deal with both my daughter and another student that if they don’t stress about college acceptance, I’ll make a real effort in promoting my book. So here we are.

Here is my “official bio”:

MJ Apple is a pen name. The writer and her husband have two teenage children and two puppies and raised them in various part of the US, most recently in the South. She currently teaches high school math and officiates swim meets. She advocates her children and students to embrace their talented passions of performing and visual arts and continuing to grow in their faith.

Congratulations! In my opinion the promotional thing is far harder than writing the book. It took me years to set up a website and another year or more to send my first newsletter.
