I heard
it explained recently in a workshop on promoting your books (Yes, writers have
to take classes in this!) that on the Meyers-Briggs Test used to determine
personality types, the type of person who is good at and comfortable with
self-promotion and marketing is the exact OPPOSITE of the most common
personality type for most authors, myself included. Introverts, people who draw
energy from downtime and being alone, who expend energy and stress over being
in groups and are less likely to call attention to themselves...that is the
group that most writers I know fall into. I hate self-promotion. I can feel my
blood pressure rising now as I write this blog. But in this new age of
publishing and self-publishing, authors who don't let readers know where to find
their books will get lost in the sea of new releases coming out every week. Oh,
the dilemma!
It
often takes a special event like a new release or sale promotion to drag me out
of the shadows and promoting my books. Today is just such an occasion. For a
limited time, two of my books are on sale for discounted prices. Got a long car
or plane ride for Thanksgiving coming up? Something new on your e-reader is
just the thing to start the holidays off right.
TRUST
IN ME is a contemporary romance with a touch of humor.
Escaping
the cheating fiancé and sheltered life her father has arranged for her, Claire
Albritton wants nothing more than to take control of her life and learn to
fight her own battles.
Kevin
Fuller believes he must rescue damsels in distress and Claire is decidedly out
of her element in small town South Carolina. When trouble inevitably finds
Claire, Kevin's white knight protection and heroics are exactly what Claire
doesn't want. But his kisses...that's another matter.
TRUST
IN ME is on sale for 99 cents and you can find it at http://amzn.to/t2XHkr
CHASING A DREAM is an award-winning romantic suspense with
both thrills and heart.
She's running from a nightmare...
Tess Sinclair must hide. Hunted by a powerful man who wants
her dead, Tess flees her Texas home in search of anonymity, safety, and a new
life. While a flat tire and stormy weather slow her escape, they prove the
least of her worries. Just hours after her getaway, a hired gunman tracks her
down. Grabbed in a parking lot, Tess is certain she'll be killed...until a
handsome hitchhiker intervenes. But can she trust the blue-eyed cowboy who
appoints himself her guardian?
He's chasing a dream...
Nothing can stop Justin Boyd from his pursuit of a music
career in Nashville--except a woman in peril. Haunted by his sister's murder,
Justin can't walk away from Tess until he knows she's safe. Justin puts his
dreams of the music spotlight on hold until he can make amends for mistakes
from his past. Yet the stakes in this game of vengeance are higher than he ever
imagined, and the price for freeing Tess might be his own life.
