CONGRATS TO MY WINNER, MEGAN H. She has been notified and her present card despatched.
Thanks everybody who entered! And keep tuned for the 12 Days of Giveaways arising on December 1!
So sorry it’s been so lengthy since I had a significant replace! I’ve been tremendous busy writing and getting my farm prepared for winter. I’ve a lot to let you know so right here’s the checklist!
1. October was my TEN-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of publishing fiction so to have fun that I’m having an enormous $250 giveaway!
Ten years. I can’t imagine it’s been that lengthy. Ten Octobers in the past I used to be releasing the primary three books within the I Am Simply Junco collection. I used to be ebook running a blog again then too. However for love. And my first collection wasn’t romance it was science fiction. I used to be so busy with advertising, and studying books to assessment and weblog about, and writing the following two books in that collection.
It might not be till Might 2013 that I’d really begin writing romance. That was the ebook Tragic – so Rook and Ronin have a ten-year anniversary arising in 2023. That’s nonetheless one in all my hottest collection and I’m thrilled that folks have been having fun with that world and people characters for nearly a decade now.
Issues had been so totally different again in 2012. For one, social media was fairly new. Hell, eReaders had been nonetheless fairly new. Amazon nonetheless confirmed books to clients with out authors having to pay for it, BookBub promotions bought you within the high 10, ENT bought you within the High 300 (that’s how I broke out with Tragic in Might 2013) and there was no separate checklist for ‘free books’ on Amazon, we had been all simply smushed collectively within the lists and other people had been clicking our books like loopy.
Fb was nonetheless new. Promoting on Fb was new. Readers had been excited, and authors had been kicking ass, and it was a only a complete totally different time.
It was enjoyable. All of it was enjoyable. The ebook running a blog was enjoyable too. I do know lately everyone seems to be on Insta or TT, but it surely was manner totally different ten years in the past. However the ebook running a blog wasn’t about cash or influencing—it was nearly loving books and sharing your ardour with different ebook bloggers. It wasn’t about “readers”. And it wasn’t about advertising. It was about pals.
Yeah. Making new pals. The ebook bloggers had been largely about connecting with one another, not selling books to strangers.
I’d go on to complete that Junco collection in December of 2013 after which I converted to up to date romance for a couple of years earlier than I’d come again to jot down the Anarchy Collection – which was a sci-fi romance anti-villain collection.
In fact, now I’m writing sci-fi romance and paranormal romance too.
It’s been an ideal ten years although. And the perfect factor is that I’m nonetheless pals with lots of the readers I met again in these early days. When you weren’t across the romance ebook world again then, I really feel kinda unhealthy for you. As a result of it was… so significantly better. The web wasn’t crammed with bots and trolls but. Nobody was getting offended about silly shit. And we (indie authors) had been pushing limits in romance fiction like nobody ever had earlier than.
Romance writers are nonetheless the highest of the sport in terms of Indie authors. We nonetheless begin a lot of the developments. However again then it was all so new and thrilling. I miss it. I do. However I really like all the brand new individuals who have joined me alongside the way in which too.
Anyway – I simply wish to have fun my first decade as a fiction creator with you guys with a giveaway. All you must do to enter is depart me a remark and inform me which of my books is your favourite!
