Ripple the Twine Blog Tour Continues

You all remember Books Etc. right? The blog is run by Kaley and she posted a wonderful review of Ripple the Twine this past Wednesday. Well Kaley has me back today with a Guest Post - Why Self-Publishing Fit with My First Novel. Thanks so much!

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to share a bit about my experience in self-publishing and the steps it took for Ripple the Twine to be shaped into a finished product. My sights were first set on traditional publishing. It didn’t work out and after a while I decided that all I really wanted was to have the book released into the world. Self-publishing was right for me and right for Ripple the Twine.

Stop on over today to Books Etc. to read the rest of the story about the journey Ripple the Twine took from written to released!

Ripple the Twine Blog Tour Day Four

I’d love to thank Nikki at Storm Goddess Book Reviews & More for giving 3.5 Lightning Bolts to Ripple the Twine! Lightning is, for lack of a better word, awesome. That many bolts on my first novel kind of make me want to do the happy dance right now! I may not stop using exclamation points all day long!

Storm Goddess Book Reviews & More has also featured the synopsis, bio, and links to all my online homes. I was particularly excited to read the review because Nikki’s profile indicates she lives in Phoenix. Me too! Of course with a book based in Boston it was important that Ripple the Twine still resonate in other geographic areas.

Please take a minute and check out today’s Tour stop to see how my book stacks up.

Thanks again Nikki!

Day Three Ripple the Twine Book Tour

Today's stop on my Chick Lit Plus Blog Book Tour is to the wonderful Kaley at Books Etc. She's is working her reviewing muscle for Ripple the Twine today, and what a great review! Please take a minute to check out her candid feedback.

Now, some of you might think I’m crazy for saying that Kaley’s review is "great". There were a few places where she struggled with my writing, particularly narrative versus dialogue, etc. But these are the things I need to hear in order to improve as an Author! So I’m thanking Kaley for sharing where there might be issues, how to tighten up my novels, and will certainly make use of her advice in the future.

Please stop on over to Books Etc. and leave a comment of thanks on her review for Ripple the Twine or any of the other fantastic posts on her blog.

Aside from the critique, Kaley seemed to really enjoy the book. Hooray! All the positive response I’m getting for Sara and her friends makes me so happy! This was a story I had to tell and as my first novel I’m just so grateful its getting the happy vibes and healthy critique that I’ve seen so far.

Thanks for checking out Ripple the Twine Kaley, I am so excited for the review!

Hope everyone has a chance to get over and leave some love at Books Etc. She’s got some amazing books and Authors featured over there, go check it out and maybe discover a brand new Author.  Speaking of features…I’ll be featured again at this blog this Saturday with a Guest Post (link to follow). Awesome and thanks again to Kaley!
