Book News and Updates

1. It's spring break for my college guys. We've had fun...even if my rotten red headed son said I ran a horrible bed and breakfast. Not once was there a mint on his pillow.

2. Christine Rains and Chrys Fey gave my books great reviews. AND I won a swag pack for the Loose Corsets tour!! I love swag. I really do. Imagine...when Christine becomes the next JK, I'm going to have autographed stuff to sell on Ebay. I'm telling you, writing will make me rich one way or another.

3. I am finally over my flu like crud and I am so happy to have my voice back! I did have a lot of fun saying, "I am Batman", but I still prefer to sound like a girl.

GOALS UPDATE 2015:

Join the Goals Blog Hop Here!

Publish two books: on track! Wrote about 30,000 words in March.

More book events: Went to Care Haven Assisted living. Excellent place to visit. Friendly people who love reading.

What I'm reading right now?

Carrie Butler released a new book earlier this March.
It's the fourth book in the Nexxus series.

This is an excellent series. It's no wonder it won the eFestival or Words best series. These stories are a fast paced blend of romance, action, and paranormal with a plenty of fun one liners only the talented Carrie can drop in.

You can buy Loyalty HERE!

But honestly? The best value is to just buy the whole series for 6.99!!

No mints? What kind of place are you running?
Selling autographed books - whatever works, right?
And congratulations to Carrie and Nick.

Congrats to Nick and Carrie. Fingers crossed that writing makes us rich beyond our imagination :)
Misha GerrickMarch 27, 2015 at 7:56 AM
30k added to your draft is awesome! And A to Z totally counts as marketing. ;-)
Tonja DreckerMarch 27, 2015 at 8:18 AM
Oh, I have to get Carrie's set - thanks for the reminder!
Lol! Aren't kids so 'cute' (I say that with a tender growl). Next think you know, he'll be mailing home his laundry ;) Glad you could enjoy them! (the kids - not laundry)
Author R. Mac WheelerMarch 27, 2015 at 8:30 AM
I'm glad you sound like a girl again ;)
Madeline Mora-SummonteMarch 27, 2015 at 8:45 AM
Glad you're feeling better! And I totally think A-Z counts as marketing. :)
Pat HattMarch 27, 2015 at 8:54 AM
lol you need to invest in those mints. 30K words is awesome indeed
Sarah FosterMarch 27, 2015 at 10:31 AM
Tell him to go buy his own mints! :)
Glad you're feeling better!
Loni TownsendMarch 27, 2015 at 10:34 AM
Woot for 30K! You're rockin' it!

Glad you got to spend some time with your college guys over spring break :)

Haha, even if you prefer sounding more feminine, it's fun to pretend to be Batman. But seriously, being sick sucks. It's great you're feeling better.
Dixie@dcreliefMarch 27, 2015 at 7:26 PM
Okay fill college guy an Easter basket full of mints! 30,000 words with THAT blog tour too?!! Those muffins are popping up everywhere. Have Fun!
Christine RainsMarch 27, 2015 at 8:26 PM
Yay for Nick and Carrie! And yay for you for doing so well. Glad you had some fun with your boys. I do the Batman voice so often these days, I'm surprised I don't always sound like that! *LOL* Have a lovely weekend.
JoMarch 27, 2015 at 8:28 PM
Tut tut about the mints Liz. You sure are planning ahead with your autographed swag. I'm having email problems at the moment so you won't see me around.

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. The comment from your son gave me such a laugh! Have a lovely weekend. :)

What is master marketing? I would love to hear about this. Good luck with your goals.
Cathrina ConstantineMarch 28, 2015 at 7:54 AM
Congrats to Carrie & Nick!
Sounds like you're on track. Have a nice weekend.
Stephanie FarisMarch 28, 2015 at 8:54 AM
Yay. Lots of good news. And yes, the A to Z Challenge is definitely marketing. I met so many bloggers last year and many of them have helped with blog tours and cover reveals. If you post and go out and meet others, you can really make a lot of new friends.
Peaches LedwidgeMarch 28, 2015 at 6:11 PM
You're doing much.
Annalisa CrawfordMarch 29, 2015 at 11:32 AM
A to Z is definitely marketing - I'm hoping to meet a few new bloggers this year. My first go, in 2012, really helped to broaden my writing horizons.
Carrie ButlerMarch 29, 2015 at 10:38 PM
D'aww... thanks for the shout-out, Elizabeth! I'm glad you're feeling better. :)

Whoa, did you say 30,000 words in March? Said so casually... that's awesome! We didn't even write half of that, and we were on fire this month.
CherdoMarch 30, 2015 at 12:17 PM
You're on an egg on my blog today.
AnonymousMarch 30, 2015 at 12:53 PM
30,000 words? In a month? Wow! Well done you :)
UnknownMarch 31, 2015 at 9:09 PM
I love your sense of humour. Imitating Batman during a flu is probably something I wouldn't have even thought of :P
LisaMarch 31, 2015 at 10:02 PM
I do too, love your sense of humor! And Congrats to winning swag, and to Carrie and Nick!
