Yes, I'm Still Out Here!

UPDATE!

It's been a long time! Too long...

Does anybody else out there wonder which social media platform to pay more attention to? I'm not even sure if I classify my website as a social media platform, but I guess it is. It's all overwhelming. Do I focus on Facebook, making posts that way, or perhaps it Twitter, or maybe it's making another newsletter? I've just started Tumblr but I'm not sure why. I can't figure out how to gain any followers that way...I'm sure it's my inability to understand what is being followed.

To find enough time to do it all seems impossible! However, I keep plugging along. If anybody out there can shed some insight on the whole situation I'd be grateful! Somebody would have to read this first. LOL

Besides hoping somebody will read my blog post, I wanted to let everyone know that I've finally got both my published books back from my publishers.

ENCHANTMENT came back from Muse It Up Publishing and IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD came back from Liquid Silver Publishing (I asked to have the rights back for both of them). It was a valuable experience for me to have learned a bit about the publishing world.

The truth of the matter is that I make more money from self-publishing than I did through the publishers. I figure if I have to pay for marketing and promotions, then the majority of the money should be coming back to me. It's not rocket science.

So...I have IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD with a new cover ready to go free this Wednesday, December 11, 2013! I'm excited about that, and I can't wait to hear what people have to say about it. It's a great way to gather reviews and I think that's important. Here's a link if you want to pick up your FREE COPY.

ENCHANTMENT also has a new cover and I have to say it's my favorite of all my books so far!

Let me know what you think!

I have one last question. I want to know what type of contest I could run to get reviews for Enchantment. Any suggestions, and what kind of prize would people like?

PERFECT MISFITS is going FREE!


My romantic fantasy PERFECT MISFITS is going free tomorrow March 20, 2013 for five days on Amazon.

When I put Quinn's Christmas Wish up for free in November I managed to hit #1 in Historical Romance for free kindle books! It would be awesome to do that again. The best part of course was hearing from everyone who enjoyed the book!

If you might happen to like sexy gargoyles and tough little pixies this might work for you. It's a hot romance with a happy ever after ending and of course like most of my works I have some very interesting critters especially Rogue, the gargdog.

So if you haven't had a chance to purchase Perfect Misfits, tomorrows your day! Please help me spread the word.

AS AN ADDED BONUS!

SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER and I'll enter your name in my contest for a chance to win a copy of one of my books and an extra special gift!

Ryder, commander of the Levarian legion of gargoyles, has a problem. He keeps dreaming on duty…and falling…neither of which gargoyles ever do. Every dream is of the same woman, and every time, it brings on red-hot, searing pain in the crescent-shaped scar on his palm. Driven to find the woman and the reason for his bizarre dreams, he lets himself fall…

…right through to a place he never knew existed…to the woman of his dreams.

Labeled a misfit, Tempest was snatched away as a child and imprisoned in the hidden realm of Misfit Mountain. Locked up by Fedor, the ruler of the kingdom, who intends to take her as his bride, she has no choice but to brave the dangerous snow and ice of the Mountain to escape. Despairing, faced with the impossible choices of Fedor or death, love is the last thing on her mind, until Ryder snatches her from the air and into a whole new realm of feeling.

Can Ryder find the key to freeing her and save them both?
