IWSG Wednesday

It's not only the first of the month, but the first Wednesday of the month.  You know what that means.

The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Members post about their  doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling. 
This month I'd like to pass on some information  about an author app I recently learned about. Some of you may already be aware of it. There's a Free Facebook Author App out there that you can add to your facebook page. It 's a READ MY BOOK icon that let's folks sign up for your newsletter, tell of your upcoming events, allows you to add your covers and links to your buy pages at Amazon.  Pretty cool huh? Here's the link: https://apps.facebook.com/authorapp/.   

On the home front:
                              Love, Lattes and Mutants is on sale for .99¢ this month.
                                    Love is tough.  Especially if you're a mutant.
Moon Watchers .99¢ at Amazon June 1 - 8.
Some people find it odd that I hunt werewolves. What I find unsettling is my attraction to Brandon Knight. Why? I think he's a vampire.

                                                                         And........

Sunset is now available at Amazon.
On the surface, Gillian Stone has it all: wealth, beauty, and the freedom to come and go as she pleases...at least from sunset till dawn. From dawn till dusk, she's entrapped in several hundred pounds of marble. And if that's not bad enough, her life expectancy is preordained to be short. Unless, she can find a certain genie and reverse the wish-spell.
I started with this cover:
Really, really didn't care for it and ended up with this.  What do you think?

Such a lovely cover! I especially love the blue mist swirling out of the lamp. Best of luck with Sunset and all the books you currently have on sale! :)

Need to check it out. Your books are inexpensive, making them easily available

That app sounds like a great idea, but I don't do FB! I must admit that I prefer the first cover where she looks so sad, but the second one is fine, too. Hugs, Valerie

The first cover was nice, but a little spooky. I love the second one.

Congrats indeed. The second cover is waay better. Never knew about the app.

Crystal Collier said...

The second one for sure. The first makes it look like a contemporary, but the second definitely sets the mood.

Jeanie said...

That's a great idea! Very cool. And I agree with those who voted for door number two!

Cherie Reich said...

That is a cool app to use on Facebook. And I love that new cover for Sunset.

ANOTHER new release? You are a writing machine. And the second cover is much more better.

Thanks, Heather. I like the swirling mist too. And I think the purple lettering worked out well.
