POINT OF VIEW: Riding the Rocket

Rocket Ride - deposit photos

So I had a BookBub for “The Stark Divide” last week. BookBub, for those who don’t know, is a daily email service that sends out specials (usually free or 99¢) to a huge list of potential readers/buyers. When you get one, it can mean a big, if temporary, boost in sales. How big? Potentially a thousand books or more in a single day, all sent to Amazon. Numbers that make the ‘zon stand up and take notice. I was ready and waiting for the start of mine. I only told a few people, and even then, I was warned to … Read more

ANNOUNCEMENT/GIVEAWAY: The Shifter’s Shotgun Mating

The Shifter's Shotgun Mating - Ardy Kelly

Ardy Kelly has a new MM mpreg romance out: “The Shotgun’s Shifter Mating.” A bad bargain. A botched bounty. A binding bite.

Once he paid the promised cut of the bounty the leader of Pine Hollow would dissolve the mating. Adam just needed to keep his hands (and his teeth) away from the enticing omega. Ricky knew nothing about the outside world, but he knew his days at … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Taking a (Little) Break

I am a big believer of listening to what the universe is telling me. I didn’t like what I heard this last month. I entered the Pitch Wars contest, confident that I had an amazing manuscript, one that would make heads turn. I chose my four potential mentors carefully, even finding one team who was looking for exactly what I was pitching, and who had a local member. I went to an agent pitch training session at our local writer’s club, and tailored the perfect pitch. And when the clock struck midnight on submission day, I submitted it all right … Read more
