Questions from Authors

1.  Will you critique my work in progress, give me a book review, etc?

I’m going to have to say no.  The reason is because I’m already overwhelmed with everything I’m doing. However, there is the Association of Independent Authors which have set ups for this kind of thing.  Yes, it cost money to join, but they have resources at your disposal that makes being an indie author a lot easier if you use them.  If, however, you don’t want to go that route, the Kindleboards might be a good place to find other authors who’ll work with you.

2.  I have a question about formatting a book, publishing, and/or book promotion.

Please visit http://selfpubauthors.wordpress.com/.  This is a blog dedicated to helping other writers.  If you leave a comment in the “What Topic Would You Like To See Us Post On?”, we’ll be happy to address the topic if we have experience in this area.  (This blog is composed other a couple of authors, myself included.)  The reason I want authors to post their questions over there instead of emailing me personally is because all authors who read the blog benefit from this.  Chances are, someone else reading the blog has the same question that you do.  :D

  1. I have read your blog about Suddenly A Bride. I do understand you have alot on your plate for a while. I really didn’t see a story about Lexi and Mark I did see something maybe with Sandy and Mark. This is just a suggestion for you are the writer and I am not maybe you could do a short story on them and see if they could fall in love I dont mean to sound pushy but I love fantasy peranormal romances I happened to to really love your book and I had hoped to see Mark and Sandy fall for each other also I love your historical romances as well thanks for reading this from a fan Jen

    • Actually, I had planned to do a “failed” attempt to fix Mark and Sandy up, but Mark was going to take an interest in Lexie who would then run off with him before marrying her fiancé. Then Sandy would swear off men and write a fantasy to forget the lack of romance in her life where one of her “bad” male characters would pull her into the story she’s writing to demand he doesn’t die at the end and that he’s granted the spot of the “good guy”. She refuses so he won’t let her leave the book. He starts manipulating the story to suit his vision of the book, and the two ultimately end up together. So my original idea was to make the whole set a trilogy. While I love the ideas, it’s not feasible to write them. Regarding short stories, I get a ton of 1-star reviews whenever I do those because the story is “too short” so I’ve given up on writing shorts. If I can’t write a book that is at least 60,000 words long, I don’t bother starting it.

    Self-Published authors is where I found you some time ago. I’ll go over there and ask my question. Thanks.

    • I didn’t check over there for a couple days after you posted the question. Did you get my answer? I need to go back there and see if you asked me anything else. It’s hard to get stuff done in the summer with four kids running around. :D
