on Self Publishing Advice:

Sometimes it makes great marketing sense to change a book title after publication. This happens in the mainstream publishing trade, as well as in indieland.

This inevitably means also changing its cover. If you’d also had other changes in mind, why not also take the opportunity to bring in a new edition of the book’s content.

But if the original edition has in the meantime attracted lots of great reviews, what happens to those? Fortunately, if you go about it in the right way, you can have the best of both worlds – make your changes and keep your reviews – as Finnish novelist Helena Halme explains, in her case study about rebranding what is now her Nordic Heart series.

Stuck with Your Story? Why You Keep Hitting Walls and Dead Ends in Your Writing

For the longest time I had major problems doing revisions on my writing. It seemed so easy for everyone else. Why was it so hard for me? Of course, I also had trouble writing. I hardly ever experienced that state of “effortless flow” everyone talked about, in which the words just magically spewed out of me down onto the page. For years—a lot  of years—I felt like something was wrong with me. I felt like I was a failure as a writer.

Then, I discovered something.

Soulless and exiled from Heaven the Dark Knights have not abandoned their duty. For millennia they’ve battled demons, protecting humankind from Lucifer’s servants. Less than a year ago hundreds of demons escaped Hell world-wide, stretching the Knights resources to their limits. Now they face the greatest challenge of all—discovering love.
Breanna Thorn spent the last ten years fighting demons with her twin brother Sam, and she’s damn good at it. But at twenty-three all she really wants is a normal life with dating, college, and quiet. To balance the life she wants and the life she has, Bree studies demons and other supernatural creatures in hopes of better understanding the enemy. When she meets fallen angel Bass, Bree encounters a complication she never saw coming—love.
Bass’ persona of hedonism begins to crumble when he meets Breanna. She’s beautiful, intelligent, a kick-ass fighter and the vessel for his…

Mariah Hollander was the last to know that Dr. Marcus Alexander and Marcus Cannon, was the same man.

Marcus Cannon was rich, handsome and exceedingly stubborn… and convinced himself that marriage and children were not for him.
Dr. Marcus Alexander was Calabasas Memorial Hospital’s Chief Pediatrician and head of Pediatrics at The Harvey-Reed-Cannon Medical Group.
Marcus first spotted Mariah Hollander walking into HRC with her sister and one look at her melts all the anger and fear that’s iced over his heart, making him question his decisions about life and family.
Neglecting to tell Mariah, she found out elsewhere and Marcus had to fight to re-earn the trust of his new found love; losing her was not an option.

An odd tale of disconnection follows a quiet little man who wanders about the day, in the shadows of an overbearing wife. Willing to do anything to find the love they once shared, he trails her patiently, almost invisibly, to an unexpected ending.
The author cleverly uses rhythm and rhyme, creating a long form, poetic short story.

Loved it!! Great work 🙂

This is very short, but I really enjoyed it!! Loved the way it was written, and loved the narrator’s voice. Awesome! A little haunting, even. Such a great little story, definitely recommend it 🙂
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Innocence and Wonder, like Wee Three: A Mother’s Love in Verse, is written from the perspective of a child and is full of verses that range from bugs, dogs, pigs, and nature. It is a terrific book written to charm and enthrall the child in all of us.
Ms. Bishop has once again produced a book to entertain those of all ages and help us see the world as a place of wonder and joyful simplicity.
If you enjoyed Shel Silverstein, you will surely fall in love with Innocence and Wonder.

Reminiscing!

This poetic collection triggers a perfect mindset for sitting back, relaxing and reminiscing about childhood, alone or with a young child. The verses are delightful, and the illustrations are darling. My favorite is PUDDLES. A read well worth your time.
