Wow... this is all great news. Except for the delays you mentioned.

Your writing career is moving ahead. All the hard work and perseverance is beginning to reward itself. Hopefully the $$$$ follow.


Congrats.
John

Congratulations what an accomplishment set joy. I hope you didn't have to pay more money than you were supposed to. i'm going to be soon writing about my terrible scam in trying to get my books published. I am going to be skeptical of everything now so please tell me that you didn't have to pay much and you are excited about your books on Amazon.

    Just be careful i'm going to be writing about my situation with eye universe. They just kept giving me more deals of how to advertise my book andmarketed doing all kinds of things In the end I think they kept some of my royalties because I ended up getting only $72 for 3 years of royalties. I'm afraid when IDo mypresentation herePeople start going to be discouraged I don't know how we do find authentic places that won't keep draining us of money. I heard someone on here also got scammed. He's broken hearted now He's had to leave here for a while cuz he just needs time to mend. My original price with I Universe was low It was wonderful but then they had all these ways these kind of ways to let me be able to advertise my book. Do keep me in the loop

    It's always a chance. Many years ago, I was taken by a company from Florida.

    OMG...I'm sad & angry that happened to you. It is something we don't really get by. I just read Jay Squires back on from here to recouperate from a heartless scam. I've tried to get in contact with him . When I write my expose' on here I hope I don't hear a lot of people with scamming stories.

Congratulations! Right now, I'm sensitive bout anything with the word "win" in the title. I've been thrown out of many contests for silly reasons and I keep seeing the usual usuals on the winners' list. I wonder if this site is fair. Well, I'll keep on writing, anyhow.

    Thank you for the wonderful support. I've questioned that for years. I doubt it.

    That's okay. I write because I feel that's what God made me for.

Very cool. When others take care of your work, it's on their time table, not yours (unfortunately) . How many novels have you published? And congrats on another meet the author date. I have a book club to talk at in May. I'm a tad nervous. Lol. Gretchen

    Thank you for the wonderful support. This is my 6th book. I know you'll do great in May. I'm supposed to have one in May, too, but don't have the date, yet and am worried it'll be when I'm at my grandson's graduation in Missouri.

This is great that your book is out (if all goes well) and that you will enjoy a meet the author on August 17. Really attractive cover for the football novel.

    Thank you for your encouragement. I couldn't keep it unless I have you in my corner. You know I get hits for writing Christian romance. I would rather not be published than write trash.

Congratulations!
We all wish we were you!
I was all pumped when a legitimate published responded to my query asking for the entire manuscript. Only to be dashed when a subsidiary offered to hybrid if I would contribute $3-4,000. No thanks.
Congrats again.

    I do understand. Publishing is difficult. Thank you for the support.

I remember that book. Congrats on the big achievement, and good luck with it. These days your on your own with the promoting and all that sort of thing. I think I'm steering clear of Amazon. I am thinking about Harper Collins' Westbow division. I need help with this stuff and all the technical things I am not savvy with. Who do you recommend? I have heard about Dorance too. estory

    Thank you for the support. I use Book writing cube. Kevin Sander is my publisher with them. I've heard not good things about Dorance. Be careful with them. If you want more information about Kevin, I can share his contact information.

I just looked it up and saw your new book listed on Amazon. Congratulations, and best of luck. You can now be a full-time author. I'm glad you're doing another meet-the-author session. You've been pretty good at making some sales at them and will gain new fans. Great work. Best of luck. I'm so pleased with the success you've achieved.

    Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you're retired so you have more time to devote to writing. I don't know how you did it before. You have carved out a special niche with your writing, and your fans definitely appreciate it. judi

    Thank you, again, for the encouragement. I take heat for writing basically Christian romance, but I'd rather not be published than write what I classify as trash. A few people on this site, don't like what I write and show it through their reviews. I'm not sure why they read if they don't like my material, unless just to complain.
