LIMERENCE and other book news UPDATE

So I wanted to give a quick update as to what is happening in regards with Limerence, and the new books, and well… everything else!
At the moment I am in the dark and murky depths of editing Limerence. Man it gets lonely down here ;0(  

I’ve also been searching out book reviewers. I’ve listed the ones that so far have agreed to do one for me, so that you can go check out their sites for some good book recommendations’.

Platinum book reviews - http://www.platinumbookreviews.com

Beckstar reviews - http://beckstarreviews.blogspot.co.uk/

I heart books - http://iheartsbooks.wordpress.com/
Paranormal book club - http://paranormal-bookclub.com/
Also, Elodie Parks - http://paranormal-bookclub.com/ Is going to be doing a feature on me.

And finally, LionheART galleries, who I have previously done an interview with, have said that they will be doing another feature on me. http://www.lionheartgalleries.co.uk/LionheART-Gallery.html

Limerence looks set for publication on or around the 22nd March. Wooooo, go me! I’m initially going to go with KDP and KDP select. Whilst the KDP select is a great way to reach more people it does have its drawbacks in that I had always wanted to share Limerence in eBook format for free with you. At least for a certain amount of time. With KDP select I can only do this for 5 days within a 90 day period. I am going to keep the price as low as possible though. My aim isn’t so much to make money, but to share a story with you. The same goes for the paperback copy. I will be keeping the price as physically low as I can, in the hopes that you all have a little part of me sat on your bookshelf for years to come!
(For those of you that have ‘liked’ my Facebook page, remember that your name will be in the acknowledgements section of Limerence, as without you I wouldn’t be doing this.)

I’m also currently working on a new cover for Limerence. I love the cover, the eye and the colouring for me is what it has always been about, but there are a lot of books with eyes on them. I want my book to stand out amongst others and not blend in, so although it saddens me to see my big beautiful eye go, it has to be done ;0(
I’ll keep you up to date with everything as it happens.

So, for those of you that filled in my ‘Zombie 101’ questionnaire. You might be wondering what is happening with it. Well, there’s been a little of this and a little of that, but mainly I’ve been working on an awesome plot, and of course, as promised, planning out your characters’ lives… and deaths!

The book is tentatively named, ODIUM. 

Odium means to have an intense hatred or dislike, especially toward a person or thing regarded as contemptible, despicable, or repugnant. So with all the zombies, I thought it was quite fitting.

Once Limerence is published and is getting in some great reviews, I will be giving it my full attention. Well, as full as my attention span ever gets with three children, one husband, one dog, and a job, but you know what I mean.
One last thing for all of you Limerence lovers… and zombie haters, I’ve also been working on the outline for the sequel to Limerence…

In the meantime, it would be great if you could keep recommending me, sharing my page and introducing me and my book to anyone you think would be interested. It means so much to me to know that you love Limerence as much as I do. Truly.

I hope that you have been enjoying the interviews that I have been doing. I know that I have had a great time doing them. I’ve listed the books and their authors below just to give you a reminder. I try not to stick to just one genre, as me myself, well I like a bit of everything!

Fugitives from Northwoods – Chris Bostic (I’ll be doing an update later this week with this lovely guy. His book is doing so well)

Dead Trees- Eli Constant. 

Try Not To Burn- Michael Matula

Well, I hope to speak to you all soon. Probably just before publication to give you all a big reminder. Eeeeeeeeeek! Nervous much!! 
I know that you have read Limerence, but I truly hope that you will buy a copy, or at least try and get a copy on one of the FREE days. The book has changed quite a bit since it was first wrote, mainly thanks to you lot. 
Keep posting your fantastic pictures and poems on my Facebook page, and get in touch with me any time.

Speak soon

Ps. Please remember that a book is only as good as the reviews that the readers leave. So if you buy something, be sure to leave reviews for the writers. You won’t believe how much it means to us.
