William Kendall, at Speak of the Devil, has posted a review. It brought tears to my eyes. Go here to read
Having the novel out there, even in paperback, is surreal. Personally, I’ve sold almost every book I’ve bought at cost. I started out with thirty-two and now have ten left. My marketing plan is to plant seeds without shoving it down peoples’ throats. So I’ll be doing some fundraisers within the next couple of months. Next month, I’ll be hosting a book party at Sweetman’s little eyewear shop. And once I know when for sure it will be up for the Kindle, I’ll be having a blog party and giving away free ebooks.
Let me know if any of you are interested in helping out. Just say so in the comment box. Hoping to have a date soon.
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
That is a good review! I enjoyed the first two chapters a lot (and I don't normal read anything paranormal). The characterization is strong - I feel like I know the characters already.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad. The paranormal isn't the scary part in the story. And tried to make Gram as tangible as possible.
DeleteIt definitely isn't the scary part of the story!
DeleteThat is a lovely review. It must feel wonderful to have someone say such wonderful things!
ReplyDeleteIt literally brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you, Joyce.
DeleteGood reviews are the best, aren't they? But if I believe the good ones about my work, then I have to believe the bad ones, too -- right?
ReplyDeleteReviews are an opinion. Look at Fifty Shades of Grey, The Twilight Series...Bad reviews...***shrugs***are a part of life if one is a writer.
DeleteWonderful first review, Shelly. I am eager to read your book and look forward to it becoming available for my kindle!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gail.
DeleteShelly congrats on your book and that wonderful review! Please keep me posted as to when it's available on Kindle!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by, Maria. I will definitely keep all posted.
DeleteCan't believe I missed this. Of course I want to feature you on my blog. Would you like to write something for the Desert Rocks? Have you ever been to the desert? Is there anything in your book about a desert? Find a connection and it would make a cute story for my blog! I'd love it and I'd make all the links to Amazon or wherever you'd like it to click to. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI will work on this, Evie. Thank you.
