Welcome to my new followers!! Delighted to meet you all (and where the heck did you come from?)
Okay so I’ve been rather focused on my writing for the last week. Unfortunately I haven’t picked a character for this Monday and I apologise profusely – I blame the #RaptureFail ;p
Actually I was all poised to tweet ‘I’m still here’ at 10pm when I read at about 9pm that it was meant to have occurred at 6pm.. Oops.. I would be late for it (as a heathen it’s really only appropriate). Instead I’ve been trying to hash out this draft of book two. And I’ve come up with a novel ;p advertising method, both my books are now free on Smashwords. Crazy? Well possibly, but in the months that The Arrival has been on there I’ve only sold a copy.
Yes I know, I’ve just advertised the chocolate competition and put the new price on Amazon. Well the chocolate competition still stands and there is no option on Amazon to make it free. Also it sells a few copies a day there so it’s doing ok. And at the moment with wanting to get book 2 ready my major thought was – at least it might get more people looking forward to book 2. In the long run I write these books to be enjoyed and at least people are reading them.
And as all you fellow writers/readers know, writers are SUPPOSED to be eccentric! Or at least that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. So feel free to grab a copy of either of my books (A wet & wild night is proving r-a-t-h-e-r popular) and if you have the time to pop a review up on Smashwords, I’d really darn appreciate it. Back to the book, chat to you all later : )
Hehehehehe I also wanted to tweet that I'd been left behind, but then I noticed that everyone else was too. ;-P
Good luck with Book 2!
I heard about a dozen different departure times…so I wasn't quite sure when to celebrate our survival.
Hope you have a great week!
Yay to all your new followers!! Ooh I love your new avatar too?!?! I missed all the hoo-haa about Rapture day! What happened?!?! 🙂 Take care

Don't feel bad, I've only sold two books on Smashwords. I haven't even bothered publishing my third book on there yet. I probably will but have been busy catching up on Oprah. The funny thing is, Smashwords makes ya jump through the most formatting hoops and gives the worst results. Reminds me of my exgirlfriend…
Congrats on your 400 followers!
Hi Misha – apparently we were all very bad this year ;p
Hi Vicki :)- i know, I was already to nab a helicopter and chopper on over for a party. Cause you just know with all those earthquakes the continents would all be jammed up and you'd be just over there ;p
Hi old Kitty! Thanks, yeah that was in one of my procrastinating moments.. *hee*
Hi Sean – Well that does make me feel better and yes I totally agree! HATE formatting for smashwords (and YIKES on the ex ;p). I think it's a good way to 'advertise' as long as you don't mind giving copies away *grin*
you are funny! why not just nix smashwords all together??!
Congrats on your 400 mark. I think that is wonderful.
