It only took one look into his eyes for her to know she was in trouble.
Adam Bricklin has heard the melody in his head for years, the melody that told him if a decision was right or wrong. When he met Ragan Newlin, the song told him she was the one. He was devastated when circumstances tore them apart. It had taken three years for Adam to finally move past the heartbreak he suffered when Ragan left town in the middle of the night. No note, no email, no text. She was just gone. Now he has a new girlfriend, a new album in the works, and his daughter is doing well in school. Until the day Ragan returned to Fairfield Corners.
Ragan came home to celebrate her parents’ anniversary, hoping they would forgive her for not telling them about her marriage or her son. When she…

It was supposed to be a vacation, a time to save her marriage, but what Joan Clayton hadn’t counted on was Murphy’s Law of Vail Mountain and the secrets that had damaged her marriage beyond repair. It was over. Depressed and angry, she decided to venture directly into an oncoming snowstorm, one that would be known as the blizzard of the century.
Stephen Brockheart received the call concerning a missing tourist after working 26 hours straight. A park ranger for the mountain resort, he set out on the routine mission, knowing he was running out of time as the blizzard hit with visibility zero.

As Mother Nature…

But they are opposites in every way. Twists and turns at every corner heighten the suspense in this village mystery. Will his dark and shady past cause Michelle to run away?

Are you brave enough to dare the Dragon’s Storm?
Long, long ago, long before man learned to worship gods or fear the power of the unknown, there were dragons to bow before.
Dragons who ruled the world.
Who could bury it beneath a flood of rain born from the drop of a tear or crack the earth asunder with a step upon its sands.
But that was long ago, before the beast was trapped beneath the seas for his impertinence of befriending the woman whose power called to his own, before her descendant stood upon the shoreline and begged the sleeping giant to save the world that had relegated him to myth and legend.
Havence Ilvanysto had always been taught to fear the dragon. That he would destroy everything she held dear if he was released from his watery prison, but her world…

Great Short MC Story
This is a great short, MC read. It tells the story of Momma, Tiffi, and Jenni. They are all part of the same ‘family’ and each has a different backstory as to how they ended up in Mercy’s Angels. The story flowed pretty smoothly and the characters are well developed. There are a few twist that keeps you engaged in the story. Great job by Barbi…

9 most frequent mistakes in Author Press Releases – by Joan Stewart…

Chris The Story Reading Ape's avatarChris The Story Reading Ape's Blog


on NonFiction Authors Association:

When an author snail-mails me a new book, whether or not I’ve asked for it, I page through it to see if I can find a press release that will help me decide if I want to read it.

Nine times out of 10, the release is missing.

But if I find one and it includes seven tips from your nonfiction topic that interests me, or tells me about the wild adventure thriller your novel is going to take me on, chances are good I’ll set it aside to read later.

Seldom does a press release perform that important duty.

5 Ways To Use Voice Search To Sell More Books – by Zara Altair…

Chris The Story Reading Ape's avatarChris The Story Reading Ape's Blog

on The Creative Penn:

Have you asked a question out loud to one of your devices in the last week? Did you ask Siri the weather on your Apple Watch? Did you ask Google Assistant to provide you directions? Did you ask Alexa for a flash news briefing or to play some music? These voice requests are becoming more and more common with some predicting that voice may be over 30% of search from 2020. 

Think about that from a book marketing perspective. If someone is in their car and wants to listen to an audiobook, will yours come up in voice search? If you want traffic to an article, can it be found by voice? Like ensuring your book can be found through typing a Google search, it’s becoming increasingly important to be found in voice search. In this article, Zara Altair gives some tips.

Proven Email List-Building Techniques

Nicholas C. Rossis's avatarNicholas C. Rossis

In my last post, I discussed the top 7 email marketing strategies for self-published authors. The very first tip was, “the list is Number 1.”

But how do you create a mailing list? That’s a challenge many authors struggle with.

Thankfully, I came across a great post by Karolina Petraškienė on Omnisend with some helpful tips on building your email list.

General Email List-Building Tips

Before I share the rest of Omnisend’s tips, let’s start with two important dos and don’ts:

1. Keep your list healthy

Keeping your list healthy means that you approach those people who are aware of you, engaged with your author brand, and have signed up for your newsletter.

Not only does this make it easier to engage them, but a whopping 30% of subscribers change email addresses every year. So, no matter how long and hard you have been collecting your emails…
