Today's theme: Writers...We're just like rabbits
With the advent of self-publishing, we've become a dime a dozen...or free a dozen:) It's become a mixed bag. Anyone who has any aspirations at all of writing, no matter the level of competence, can get published. This ability has created a market that's flooded. Some of my books have moved from the hundred thousands into the millions. But even though it means--for some of us--being one small fish swimming with a gazillion other small fish trying to stand out, the bottom line is that anyone can now realize their dreams and if it makes sales harder to come by so be it. Getting published is a gift. Back in the day when there were only trad houses, many of us got reeled in, looked at, then tossed back. The acceptance level was limited and extremely difficult to achieve. Then came small press and the publishing doors were thrown open. And today anyone can create a quality product in e and paper. So while self publishing has made life more challenging, to my way of thinking the positives far out way the negatives. What's your take?
Queen of Diamonds, part of the Matter of Taste Anthology, is now out in e and paper at
Amazon.
Logan Hunter is a bestselling author with a penchant for the ladies.
Kendall Theron, his efficient publicist is prim and colorless—at least
on the surface. Beneath the proper facade is a woman who will do
anything to protect her family, even if it’s not quite legal.
Kendall, knowing her boss’s propensity for the fair sex, has
replicated herself into a lady who should hold no appeal for the
charismatic charmer she works for. She’s even added a Mrs. in front of
her name for an extra layer of protection. If her boss ever turns those
sharp eyes on her, if his curiosity is unleashed and he digs up her
secrets, the results could mean jail time.
It’s taken Logan Hunter nearly three years to discover there’s more
to his employee than meets the eye. An unplanned kiss that ignites them
both has him looking at his publicist in a whole new light. He soon
learns that the woman he thought he knew doesn’t exist, her persona an
illusion. Everything she’s told him is a lie and he’s determined to find
out why.
Vampire Island is on sale through December 7th for .99 at
Amazon.
My name is Zoe Tempest. Just let me say, I had no intention of becoming a
vampire hunter. My world revolved around the trendiest clothes, the boy
of the week, shopping, and texting.
My life was as close to perfect as a seventeen year old could get. I
had everything. Then my parents were murdered and my world came crashing
down.
After their funeral, I went to live with my uncle Julian Kilmer.
That’s when everything changed. In a manner more terrifying than
anything I could have imagined.
