Editing Time

I scheduled a time slot with my editor! You know what that means – time to binge watch that Netflix show* I’ve been putting off… No, wait – that’s the old me, or at least – one part of her. Another part of the old me was good at scheduling time for projects on a calendar — I just wouldn’t follow through and do everything I scheduled. Now the new me has to actually do the tasks involved.

I think my dread of digging in to a project has simply become a habit, because I am both nervous and excited to work on this book. I titled it Flash Bang, although that could change. I also considered something like My Texas BFF to sound more like a chick lit title. It is satirical chick lit. Or does that sound like it’s a satire of chick lit? I’m resisting calling it “women’s literature” because to me that sounds like serious drama or women in historical novels, not like a clueless Hollywood celeb trying to prove she can play a Texan in a movie.

*The show is Evil – I can’t even remember if I’ve seen Season Two or just One, but someday I’ll binge them all, even though I’ll have to subscribe to another streaming service to get the later seasons.

Reedsy Discovery Launch Day

December 5th is my launch day on Reedsy’s Discovery – the part of their site devoted to linking up books and readers. I wasn’t able to do it before the July release, but all of this has been a learning process that will help me on the next book, and the next one after that . . . The book is currently in the hands of a reviewer, so I’ll post a link when that’s available.

Paperback Discounted on Amazon till December 31st!

I have an Amazon countdown deal going on in the U.S. through November 30th (almost over!) for the ebook, but I decided to reduce the price of the paperback through December 31st, since some people (like me) still really, really like print books.

The paperback is reduced from $13.99 to $8.99. Get yours here in the U.S.!

Since all international prices are linked to the U.S. price, the international Amazon paperback price is also reduced. (Remember, this doesn’t apply to orders from other bookstores – just Amazon.)

The UK Amazon site will have a countdown deal starting at 99p for the ebook beginning December 7th – don’t miss out!

Only Two Free Download Days Left + Q&A!

Today, September 6th, you can download Eliana-Who-Sees-Us for FREE on Amazon until about midnight Pacific Time. This is in honor of being featured on Pat Daily’s blog for one of his “10 Questions With . . .” posts. He likes to interview authors with non-standard questions and takes the time to learn something about them first, so I had fun, and it made me have to think a bit! Read it at thepatdaily.com.

If you are reading this after September 6th, the last free download day will be Wednesday, September 14th. And please do leave a review after you read it! Even 3 or 4 stars is okay if you give an honest writeup of the book. Books with too few reviews are like Elizabeth Bennet hanging out on the sidelines of a lively dance.

Free copy of Eliana-Who-Sees-Us.

Don’t leave Elizabeth stranded! Although in this analogy, she’s an ebook waiting for a review.
