Loretta Marchize > Recent Status Updates

Hello friends! You may have noticed that I haven't really been around that much, and I haven't been reading that much either. I've decided to go on hiatus for a while because of school and sports, but I'll come back ASAP! I won't completely leave, I'll still be around if you need to contact me, but I won't be commenting, updating book status, or replying within a day.
Bye (for now)!

One of my English books, but it's very fasinating!

I LOVE how this is starting! It's made me smile several times already.

So I think the new covers are up on Goodreads, The Princess Ambassador's cover is up on Amazon, and I'm working on the other two.
I started public school on Tuesday which has been INSANE bc I'm a homeschooler through and through... and I get up at 6 vs 7:30
So yeah. I promise I have been writing (I have!) Just not updating. I'll TRY to do a writing update this weekend, but my grandparents are coming, so...
crazyyyyy!

ANOTHER problem came up with my book covers!! I'm very frusturated right now. Hopefully I'll have them out before the end of the week because school starts next week Tuesday and there is a family reunion this weekend. I'm still sick, so it might take a while, but let's hope for the best! Thank you all for your prayers and get-wells!

So today was supposed to be the day my new book covers went live, but yesterday I came down with a fever and I'm still not quite my regular self yet so they'll have to be live tomorrow. Sorry about the delay!

I just got my proof copy of The Lost Princess with the new cover and I love it! I've decided to keep it matte. I'll be updating the cover on Goodreads and Amazon today!
(I am SO exited!!!)

Ah Marianne! *shakes head*

Next up on the classics list? Sense and Sensibility! Pride and Prejudice was great, and it's time to see how this one shapes up.

So I got back from my trip on the 14th but I didn't update my books. I read a bunch while I was gone, and I'll put them on sometime. I also recently made some new covers for the Fairy Tale Chronicles. They are out on my blog, lorettamz.com, and will be up on Goodreads after I get my proof copy. (I LOVE the new covers! I can't wait to put them up)

So tomorrow (Saturday) I'm going to leave for a week-and-a-half. I will be volunteering at Fort Wilderness, a summer camp, so I won't be able to be online much. I'll check my email once/twice a day, but other than that I won't get online. (I also won't have my laptop, just a phone) so tonight is the last time I'll be on Goodreads until I come back. (August 15th- I THINK)
So bye for now!

I dedicated a little part of my blog to graphic designing and you can now purchase my designs! (all book covers)
You can find them here: https://lorettamz.com/graphic-designs/
I do pre-made and custom, I also do spines, just e-book, or spines and e-book.
*I'm so exited I've been wantign to do this for ages!!!!*

Hey! There's a great giveaway going on, hosted by Kellyn for Allison Tebo for her book, The Godfather! https://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/dis...

Hi everyone! So even though I’m gone over my book’s release, my lovely friend Gracelyn offered to help with a blog tour!

It will be August 3rd through August 9th, the release day.

I'm back from vacation (as of yesterday) so I have around 7-9 books to review. Lucky me!

Any suggestions for good books about writing? I'm looking for some ideas. Specifically about self publishing and characters.

Sooooo my grandparents were here yesterday and I COMPLETELY forgot that it was The Princess Ambassador's release date! Oops?? Anyways, it's published now! I'm hosting a giveaway for an e-book copy, and there will be a group blog tour with some other authors the last week of June.

So..... I've been slowly chipping away at A Princess at Heart. And... I think I've finished it! An official update on the page will be coming soon with more information.

This book is getting interesting! I'm looking forward to see how the whole Freddie thing works out....
Also that lord or count or whatever (D something) is really creeping me out.

I have almost more than 12 books on my review list. I read them all last week. Most of them were rereads from 2017. I've been sorta slack about updating that. Today it will be my top priority, so I'll be back after I go help my dad clean the yard!

Hello everyone! This summer my mom is limiting my 'screen time' to one hour a day. I will still be checking my email etc during the rest of the day, but FYI I will not be able to be on Goodreads as much as usual. (Summer has already started for me- #homeschooled)
Anyways, don't be offended if I don't see all your posts or reply to things right away. I will, just not as often as I used to!

The Lost Princess is now on Amazon(e-book)! It will be out as paperback soon, but the book is processing.
*is doing a happy dance but trying really hard to look professional*
*is failing*
You can view it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CZQ2FLR/...
If you've read it and could post your review on Amazon I would love that!

My book is going to be released tomorrow and I'm sorta going craaaaaaazy!!! I'm a nervous train wreck right now. I only got the proof copy YESTERDAY so the whole thing is a little insane!

If you're interesting, it will be on Amazon tomorrow (I don't know what time yet)




*shameless self-promo*

A Princess at Heart is on Goodreads!! Find it here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Kellyn, I have a question for you. Is this sentence "We grew up together, Maddie and I. After her parents died, my family took her in, so we're like brother and sister. It felt right that Riley would marry her" in any way related to the story you wrote for the Ardent Author's Writing Challenge?

Oh yes this is getting off to a wonderful start! I can't wait to read!

woa, what are the chances? A Mia Bently? I happen to have a character named Mia who may have a slight crush on a Bently! Looking forward to finding out more about this girl!

I need some readers for The Princess Ambassador!

I've rewritten the whole thing- I might even say that it's better than the first book, The Lost Princess.
I do need some opinions though, so don't be afraid to be harsh. I need to know what to change.
