Tongue Tied is doing well. It has spent 28 hours on the hot and trending list, and now I have close to 800 page views. I'll keep everyone posted. I thought it would start strong, but my hope is that it continues to do well.  Wish me luck everyone.

I would like to have some strong writing look this year, and this may be a break for me.

 

Sometime today, I have to do three main things.  Every month I write a letter to myself reflecting on the past month and looking forward to the next month.  Today's letter will look back and 2017 (which was not a good year) and look forward to 2018. If you have never done this, I encourage you to. It puts perspective on your life. The second thing I want to do is work on a couple novel ideas.  The third thing I want to do is read.  Writers have to read, or else they are not going to get better.

 

I wish everyone a Happy New Year.  If you have not read about my novel campaign, take a moment to check the above link.  It won't take more than a minute or two, and it might do me some good.

Update on my book campaign.

I just wanted to remind you of this and to post an update. According to the stats I've looked at, Tongue Tied has spent (so far) seven hours on the hot and trending list. I think that is because of all of you who have visited the campaign. So far over 450 people have looked at the page. Thanks, all of you.

I have been reading the last few days. I read the first book in a trilogy about a girl who is sucked into the dreams of other people. Of course, this drives her crazy.  At the end of book one, she has learned to control it to a certain extent, and in book two she starts to work for the police department.  The first book is Wake and the second one is Fade. I checked the second one out because even though I liked the first one, I didn't like it well enough to buy the second one.

I've also picked up Turtles All the Way Down and a book by Dean Koontz and one by Stephen King. At Barnes and Noble today. I also picked up The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto, by Mitch Albom.  I'd never heard of it, but I have liked everything else of his, and it was on sale, so I thought I'd pick it up. I get these phases where I really enjoy reading. Usually, it's when I have some free time. LOL. We are in the middle of the fall and spring semesters of the college where I teach.

I need your vote

Kindle Scout has a contest where writers can submit their books for the possibility of getting a publishing contract.  I entered my book into it and would like for any of my readers to take a look at the link below to see if they liked the book. If you do, please click on the "Nominate Me," button.

Thank you.

The campaign for my book is now open. Go to the link and read the information about the novel. If you like it, click the Nominate Me button, which basically is a vote that Kindle should publish my novel. I would greatly appreciate all of your help.

A request for help

Hey everyone. Hey, everyone here’s the deal. I entered a contest for a Kindle scout publishing contract. On December 29, I will give you a link where you can go and get information about the novel I entered and read an excerpt. If you would please read it, I would greatly appreciate it, and if you like what you read — and only if you like it — would you recommend the book to Kindle? If you nominate the book and it is published, then you will get a free copy. The publishing contract pays me an advance and guarantees at least $5,000 in sales the first year. I could really use your help. Thank you.

By the way, the novel is a young adult fantasy similar to Harry Potter, but the school is not one about wizardry.  It’s about storytelling.
