Since last week was intense, I thought I would include some soothing photos from the Conservatory Garden in Central Park to begin our week with a smile!
I seldom do commercials. In fact, I am squirming now with the thought of doing one at all. I blog because I love to, and I hope through my adventures that my readers see something of themselves. It’s always easier to promote the work of others.
That said, I have work of my own to promote today. At long last, The Foreign Language of Friends is now available on Amazon Kindle. In the next 2-4 weeks, it will also be available on other e-readers as well. At Amazon’s suggestion, I am creating a POD paperback version for those who want their paper books. I’ll post again once the book is available in these other formats.
I’ve priced The Foreign Language of Friends at the low, low price of $1.99, so buy early and buy often, and tell all your friends! If you haven’t seen my Friday postings before, check them out to get the first several chapters for nothin’. Yep, this is a commercial. Please buy my book! Help me keep my fabulous editor in business. She’s worth every penny. Plus, it’s a fun story. I had a great time creating it!
If you buy it and like it, may I ask one more favor? Please take a few minutes to write a review on Amazon. Thanks kindly in advance.
Now I am learning all about blog tours and am ready to gear up. I discovered BlogTour.org, which looks promising. Bryce Beattie, creator, conceived of the idea when he was working on his own blog tour. BlogTour.org matches authors who want to promote their work with blogs who are willing to feature authors. If it works, it can really simplify the process.
If you’re an author who is interested in BlogTour, take a gander at the website and sign up. You’ll find me listed there as a blogger willing to interview authors and their works, as long as they fit in with the general flavor of A Woman’s Nest.
In the meantime, my period of rest is over! My fabulous aforementioned editor, Jill Bailin, has turned Blood and Loam over to me for revisions, and it looks like she’ll be keeping me busy for a while. I also do my own book layouts, so I’ve pulled The Foreign Language of Friends into my trusty Adobe InDesign to get that done. And, I fully intend to do NaNoWriMo, which comes up in just a few weeks. Thankfully, my good She Writes friend Jodi Aman is offering a FREE 21-day meditation challenge in November, and I’ll need it to get some zen during all the craziness. It’s all good! I was getting a little cranky without a writing project, and I’m much happier when I’m juggling a lot of plates.
We’re back on track with my typical blog schedule, so I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for my latest book review. Have a great week!
Congratulations, Nadine! I cannot wait to read it on ibooks. Let me know when it is available. I am recording the meditations this week and having lots of fun. Thinking of you all doing Nano with intention to helping you be productive by staying happily in the flow! Deep breath, ahhhhh! Peace and love, Jodi Aman
Jodi, your meditation challenge will make it much easier for me to stick with meditation while I’m super busy. It’s been easier in the past few months when my schedule was quiet — but I know full well that the busier I am, the more I need it! I can’t wait to hear the recordings!
I am so happy for you Nadine! I am amazed that you are charging that low of a price! I am getting it on my Kindle for PC app which makes it easy! Ill be posting it on my facebook too! I like your little commercial. MY day was spent in angst over a 27 yr old who thought she could be in the group just because she wanted to be! I dealt with it but I feel as if somehow the planets have aligned against me! lol So how are you celebrating your achievement? You know you are supposed… Read more »
Book pricing is such a hot topic these days, I should probably write about it. Everyone seems to have a different opinion on how to do it, and publishing is in so much flux right now that no one really knows what to do. Since I don’t have a publisher who takes the bulk of the profits, I can keep the price low. I spent money for an editor and cover, and that’s it, other than my labor. I’m going to offer it in paperback through Create Space, but since print costs are involved, the price will be considerably higher.… Read more »
Thank you for stopping by and your thoughtful comments about my Halloween post. I see your doing NaNo also. Good luck. I signed up for the meditation classes as well.
Cool! Last year I did NaNo on my own, and it’s great to have buddies this year to share and commiserate with! Nice to have company on the journey.
