Book Review for Innocence Coming April 3!

I have connected with a book blogger I'm excited to work with.  Her name is Karen Steer and she lives in Australia. (I thought that was really cool!)  She has agreed to review my first mini-book Innocence.  I am really excited and grateful to be working with her.

As an introduction to her, I would like to give you the link to her website www.karensbookhaven.com so you can check out her reviews of other books as well and see what she's all about.  The review for Innocence will be posted on her website on April 3, 2015, so mark your calendars.  I will post the link as soon as it's available, and, believe me, I'll be reminding you all of the upcoming review all week long.  I love connecting with other people who are passionate about any aspect of books or writing.

Below I have posted a bit about Karen from her about page (reprinted with permission), along with her picture.

Here is a bit about Karen:

"Hi there - I'm Karen and welcome to my haven.

To say I love books would be an understatement. I adore them. I love all sorts of genres. Romance, erotica, young adult, women's fiction, some paranormal and thriller are the ones I gravitate towards the most. I love nothing more than diving into a book and being transported to another world and being bewitched by the author's characters. There is no better feeling than a book hangover.

"I am a mother of two boys, married to the man of my dreams and live in a beautiful part of Australia, just north of Sydney.

"I love talking about books. I can be often found on instagram and twitter talking about the books I've reviewed. I give honest reviews and I welcome others recommendations too."

Here are the links for her social media:

Karen also offers Beta and Proofing services at a competitive rate.  If any of my writer friends are reading this, or you know of someone looking for this type of service, click here for more information.

I would like to thank Karen in advance for her hard work and support of authors.  Without readers and book bloggers our skill set would be kinda useless.  Thank you so much, Karen!

Don't forget to get your copy of Innocence.  It's the first mini-book (which means it's only six chapters long so it's perfect for a quick read) in my Gold Dragon series.  The second book will be out very soon.

You can get a copy at...

Etsy for only $1.99 in PDF format!

Amazon for the low price of $2.99 (lowest they'd let me go) in .epub format.

iBooks also for the low price of $2.99 in .epub format.

And coming soon...in print!  The hard copy version will be sold on Etsy.com as well as locally in a wonderful shop called Simply NC.  So if you live in my lovely hometown of Clinton, be sure to stop by for your copy.  I will post when they are available.  In the meantime, check out Simply NC on the Square in Clinton for everything North Carolina.  You'll love the shop.

Thanks for reading, as always, and I'll keep you posted about the release of the next book Awakened as well as the link for Karen's review!

BUY ME!

BUY ME!

Ok, so I don't really know how to market a book.  Heck, I never even liked selling candy bars in high school.  So, here goes.  I just published my first mini-book, Innocence, one week ago.  I think you'll really like it because it is a short read and introduces the Gold Dragon Series which includes paranormal and fantasy elements.  Who doesn't like a little magic to carry them away?

This first book introduces our main girl, Mint Julep Greene, to us and the ugly new backwoods town her mother forced her to move to.  Like many teens, she just wants her freedom to live how she wants to live.  In spite of her mom's lecherous ways, Mint never developed a wild, rule breaking attitude.  She just wants some stability.  But Ben, the guy at her new high school is about to test her limits.

Read Innocence for the introduction to Mint's new life in the country and the strange things happening around her like the guy that's spying on her from the woods.  Then don't miss the second mini-book in the series, Awakened, which comes out at the end of this month (March 2015 in case you needed to check a calendar).  Mint's story continues as Ben focuses his attentions on her and makes her question the worth of sticking to the rules.  Maybe letting go a little is the way to really live...

So there you have it, and here is the link to buy it: Buy me!
It's only $1.99, sold as a beautifully formatted PDF file in my shop on Etsy.com.  It views great through the free Kindle app or any other app that views PDFs, and it was formatted especially for phone screens or a device of a similar size.

I have also submitted the book to be sold on Amazon and Ibooks.  I am waiting for their review process.  I will post a link after it's available for sale.

Thanks so much for checking out my book.  Remember to tell all your friends, and if you leave a review on Etsy.com after your purchase, I will send you a discount coupon for Awakened when it comes out.

Remember to subscribe by email to my blog so you can be notified immediately when I post about new releases, deals and freebies.

(And coming soon will be a link to a sample of the book on Wattpad!)

My first book is published!!!

It’s finished!!  My first book, Innocence the first in the Gold Dragon Series, is out and I am beyond excited.  If you don’t want to hear any more and want to buy it this second, click here.  In a minute I’ll give you more details about where all you can buy it, but first let me say LOOK AT THAT COVER!  My boyfriend Jorge (pronounced George) did all the swirly artwork.  He is amazing!  You can leave him a comment via my writer’s facebook page.  He does awesome pencil drawings as well.  Here’s one he did of a picture of me once.

But back to my book.  I am so happy with the final outcome.  I love the cover.  I love the story.  Several friends who helped me with reading the manuscript were my sister Sharon Yoder, my friend Alicia Walter, and my mentor Deborah Thompson.  Thank you so much for your help!

Others whom I could not have done without are my good looking boyfriend Jorge Rivera, my parents Enos and Bertha Yoder, and the rest of my family and everyone who let me talk their ear off about how much I wanted to write a book.

I’m excited about the style and length of the book.  I am writing this series in mini-books.  Each book will have less than ten chapters and can be read in one sitting.  I like the quickness of them, the suspense, the anticipation of each sequel.  I hope you like it too.  I thought of all of you wonderful readers as I wrote it.

So...here’s what you all have been waiting for:  

To purchase it in a beautiful and easy-to-read PDF format, click here.
