It's darn hard to be a writer

I think the hardest part of being a writer is not the creation, writing, editing or anything like that. It's the struggle to get fans to read your book. Sure I have fans on FB, Twitter and Goodreads. I love them all. They make me laugh and smile on my hardest days. But actually hearing from them, the feedback of the book, is the BEST. When I hear, "Oh I loved your book." I get chills. Of course I get bad reviews too. Once I wipe the tears of defeat from my eyes, I move on. But getting people to spread the word is tough. I am known on FB, but am I known elsewhere??
Honestly I am just one of the many Indie authors out there. There are so many of us struggling to be "known" and to sell books. I don't want fame, I want to sell stories. To transport people to another world is my goal. I want to be able to help you escape the daily life you lead and throw you into my story world. God knows that's why I read. Help the Indie authors out and buy our books. Yes of course the huge published books are so awesome, but so are ours!!!
Okay with that said I am back to writing now :) xoxoxox

The Brown House is unleashed.

So when I started writing TBH in January I had no idea how awesome the book would turn out. I am super proud of this book. I feel instantly in love with all of my characters. Almost more than my Avery Snow characters, almost. Avery Snow is my first book and I will always love it, but I love love love TBH.
Now it's out in Kindle and I am so pumped to be hearing the reviews and that people are enjoying it!!!
All of the buy links for both my books are on this blog :)

Winner of the Become a Character Contest

I had this great idea to have a fan be a part of my next book. I mean how awesome would that be? Nine people entered, I had hoped for more, but I was so happy to have met the nine that did. What a great thing to hear their thoughts on my book and to follow my blog. I mean these people really read my book. They didnt just enter a contest for free stuff, they read and bought my book. I applaud you all for doing the work and supporting me in my journey!!! (Clapping) Now the fun part, I announce the winner. I used Random.org to find my winner.
