Ten Days

It took eleven months, four drafts and a little help, but it’s out there. 

‘Ten Days’, my romantic thriller is published on Smashwords.  According to all I’ve heard, the hard work starts now – the marketing.  Well, I’ve been in retail for 20 years so I must have learned something about marketing.

I published this morning and since then I’ve networked with several folk on Facebook and sent out a message on Twitter, which will be amended and retweeted over the next week or two, just in case it is missed by anyone.  I’ve sent out links for the 20% sample to a few people and I have a few more to add to that list.

Perhaps a little unique, but I’ve also written a poem with a flavour of the main characters.  I’ll post that on The Starlite Cafe site when I’ve tidied up the lines a little more.  For now I’ll have my front cover on here and this brief post.  Now I’ll have to get back to my big push.

What’s next?  Tomorrow I’ll be formatting the manuscript for publication on Amazon/Kindle.

A link?  Of course: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/257906

Please check it out, or better still, buy it!  As Arnie said, ‘I’ll be back!’

Love Writing…

Having only received my copy of ‘Love WRITING’ in the post this week I’ve only been able to read small sections.  Sue Moorcroft has put together a book that I personally think is a must for all who want to make a serious attempt at writing romance, passion or erotica.  So far I’m not only impressed by the amount of information, but by the number of others offering their views and advice. 

I fully intend to write a short review on this superb book once I’ve been able to savour all of it.  For now, thank you Sue for producing it in the first place.  I have a feeling my ‘love’ writing is going to benefit immensely from this handbook on how it’s done.  The writing about it that is…
