Good luck with that Carol. You know there are so many talented writers on fanstory, and also some very talented musicians who never 'make it' but chance is an amazing thing, but luck in this life can be bad in the next, keep writing. And well done Carol, blessings and

Yes, we need to celebrate all victories. I know I do. If we aren't our own cheerleaders nobody else will be. Stand up for yourself, GIRL!!! I'm cheering you on.

    Thank you, Barbara but I don't really know what I do from here as far as marketing. The KDP group that I worked with said it would be distributed around the world but then they stepped back and asked for more money ... I don't exactly trust people like that. I guess I just wait and see.

    Hello, dear Cecelia. Thank you for buying my book. I am honored. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did writing it. It was my first endeavor with a ghost detective and I didn't know at the time how much I would learn to love my characters, especially Eleanor. can't wait to hear what you think.
    Smiles and hugs, Carol

    Thanks, Patricia. I was flying out of O'Hare to visit my grandchildren in North Carolina so I thought I would share some of the events. Thank you so much.
    Have a great day!

James Patterson is my favorite writer too! He passed away at 88 about a month ago. I liked your little story about your marketing. I think he was the best crime and thriller writer God ever sent us. K xx

    We must be thinking of someone different. James Patterson was born in 1947 making him 77 years old. He wrote the Alex Cross thrillers and also the Women's Murder Club. As far as I know, he is alive. He's been my inspiration for my stories.

    Silly me! It was Wilbur Smith who died. I loved his Egyptian series. Have you read them?

I am so pleased life is good for you right now (for you have had so much to cope with over the years) - and also that you were able to sell her your book! Well done! Also, congratulations on writing another story while visiting your great-granddaughters. (Matthew's grandchildren?)

    Carissa was Wendy's first child and she has three girls, Keyanna, Tycari and Camryn which she has raised pretty much on her own...except for when Nana arrives on the scene. We are beyond close and I so wish they were closer. She wants me to come year round but i still have house and John to deal with. Life goes on!

Oh, you didn't have a copy to give her right then? Well, I guess, it feels better that she "bought" a copy and you got your first royalty payment! Good for you to market in person!!!

    I didn't even have my copy yet. It was published on Friday and this was Saturday. If I had one, I would have happily given it to her. I was thrilled.

You go, girl! If only I had thought when I bought your book to have it sent to hour address, so you could autograph it and send it to me!

Oh well- I've already read it and now my daughter is enjoying it.

Great Cloud Nine marketing! I'd keep a few copies with you wherever you go...

I always wondered, did you get a certain number of free copies as part of your publishing package?

Hope so!


Here's to you!

Much success!

Karenina

    No, but I can purchase what they call author copies for giving away..it's cheaper but they can't be sold. I might do that for the family because you know they aren't going to buy them. Though Tycari saw my copy and asked if she could have her own copy for Christmas as her present. Now you know I was beyond moved by that.... Hope your daughter enjoys the book.
