It looks great! Congrats! And definitely let me know when your internet is back up! I'm sure my reader group would love to have you hang out with us! I hope the internet comes back up soon!!! Hugs!! (Just cuz you sound like you need one!)

Ms. Aislinn congrats on all the awesomeness! I wish I had known we were releasing the same day because we could have done some kind of release thing together! If you're interested in doing some kind of cross promotion since our books are so similar let me know you could always come and takeover my reader group if you want to! Let me know!! And again congrats!!!!

Does it show up on your dashboard if they are expanded distribution?

I found the song it's called Good Directions by Billy Currington!!

Oh man! I have thought about it. I did that with the back story to 2 of my characters in my current series. I wrote flash fiction on my website and then created a little book for my newsletter. I will probably do it again with some of my other stuff I am working on.

Its funny because my current WIP is loosely based off the Carrie Underwood song My Last Name lol! Country music is definitely good for inspiration lol! And I love that its about telling a story too!

Seriously!!! My latest WIP is supposed to be a stand alone but now I have all these ideas for the supporting characters and I'm like GAWD!!! Lol! Oh yes and Sams latest album is amazing!!! I loooove Come on Over! I just recently started listening to country but I totally get where you are coming from! I heard a song not to long ago (it's an older song) but it made me want to write a book based on it! I think it's called something like Bring you back here to me? I'm not sure! It talks about him selling turnips on the side of the road and meeting the girl of his dreams but he feels like the definition of a redneck hahahahaha! It's an awesome song!!!!

Omg! I loooove Sam Hunt!!! ❤️️❤️️❤️️ but yeah not for inspiration lol! But, I did get some inspiration! And I found out that I am pretty much incapable of writing a stand alone! I always end up with awesome supporting characters that have to have their own books lol!!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the update! ❤️️❤️️❤️️

Thanks Nat! I saw a video series about how to have the perfect year releasing books from JA Huss and she gave the advice that an author should release as often as they can. 6 books a year and keep writing and promoting as much as possible! It's my plan for a successful year of book sales lol!

Hi Mike! I would say sooner rather than later! I myself have been releasing every two or so months to keep readers interest. I think if you get your library packed with books then other things will come a bit easier! People will trust your work and you will have a bit more wiggle room when it comes to marketing and such! Hope this helps!

Thanks Erica! It was a lot of fun! So glad that you had fun and yes between that and the release blitz this launch was a success can't wait for the next one! Lol!

Thanks ladies! You're welcome for the update I hope it helps!

I just finished a release blitz with Xpresso! And while I don't think I will use them again it's not because I decent results because I had awesome results the reason I think I won't use them again is because they don't necessarily cater to romance books and I have found another pr company that may work better! Many of the blogs that did the blitz were PNR and YA I don't write either of those! I will say tho that I got a ton of entries into my giveaway with very little promotion on my part and at one point I was at #36 on the hot new releases list in Literary romance! There are still 3 days left on my giveaway so it may climb even higher! Between that the hop and a Facebook takeover I did the day before release (also my Facebook group which is amazing) my launch went well! I am already planning the next launch for book 3 in my series!

I haven't really done much with my mailing list I kind of use my Facebook group as a way to keep my readers informed. I do giveaways and keep them up to date on the writing process and they are the best group of people I love them so much! I honestly think that is the best way to interact with readers!

I have a blitz scheduled with them for tomorrow and I have 90 blogs signed up to post about my release. Giselle is amazing so organized and professional. They are the best from what I have heard but if you are all interested I will let you know how everything goes! I'm giving away a signed paperback of book 1 in my series and a $20 Amazon gift card! So hopefully lots of people sign up for the giveaway and it gives me exposure for my release tomorrow! They did my cover reveal last month and I was pleased with the results I got from it!

Congrats Amy, Becky and Erica! Those are all awesome things you have going!

Thank you!!!

My first romance novel is about a girl with PTSD. There aren't too many novels out where the heroine suffers from the disease. Mostly it is military personnel who suffer from it but that is only a percentage of the people who actually suffer on a daily basis and I really wanted to capture that in this book!
