Your book has taught me so much in such a short space of time and the best bit? I didn’t feel like I was being taught anything! Brilliant!

Since you asked, I thought I might let you know that I was recently published, this past December sixth, with a contemporary romance called Blessing in Disguise. My publisher is Liquid Silver Books, and I really enjoy writing for them. They’re fantastic people, very supportive, very helpful, ready to answer any question I have.
They do a little bit in regards to marketing, but not much, so I’m responsible for the bulk of my own promotion.
I’ve been a slow learner as far as the computer goes. I’m only recently on Facebook, I haven’t accessed Twitter yet, and as I said earlier, I’m just now working on my WordPress website.
These of course are things I should have been doing over the five years I’ve been seriously writing, but, alas, I didn’t have the knowledge I have now (thanks to your book) five years ago.
I’m thrilled you asked about my progress.
Any advice at all you might provide would be more than welcome.
Thanks again, so very much,
Tamara Le Blanc

LOL how funny! The Angels of Prose & Publishing are smiling on you today. It is exactly what I am talking about, :D. I hope this helps you grow a platform that will catch a good publisher and sweet book deal. All my best!

I’ll be honest, a week ago I had never heard of you.
I happened to be emailing back and forth with a friend and she mentioned reading this fantastic book, “changed my life!” she said.
The book was We are not Alone…by you.
I bought it, installed it on the good old IPad, and from the first page I was hooked!
I’ll be honest again. When people tell me a book changed their life, I’m usually skeptical. “Um, ok…whatever. Changed your life, sure.” I tend to be a glass half full sort of chic.
But my friend was right, and it is possible to read the words of another human being and come out transformed by her message.
And not only did I find myself transformed by your book, I also evolved exponentially by your post today.
I’ve bookmarked the page. I want to read it over and over and share it with everyone I know. because your words not only apply to me, the romance writer, but to anyone else with a pulse and a brain.
Thank you for your wisdom and insight.
I am now and forever will be a huge fan.
Have a fabulous day!
Tamara LeBlanc

Oh, and P.S.
There’s a little box above this comment where I could have inserted my website. because of you and your teachings I will finally be able to fill in that box very, very soon:)

It’s very timely for me: I recently got turned down by 18 publishers, and my agent and I are regrouping before the next round. We decided that I’m going to revise/add more action to the early part of my story. Part of me reacted with “Oh, no, I’m screwed!” while the other part (my more optimistic side) thought: “cool – what crazy stuff can I throw in?” Off come the gloves.

Looking forward to today’s post – hope it talks about mash-ups and trackbacks (which I know zippo about) and other ways to boost my blog traffic.

Thanks,
Kathy

I will definitely share this with my CPs and other writing friends! I am even more fired up than I was before I read this blog! I have been at this for a LONG time!

This year is going to be GREAT!

Thanks for giving me a compass and a map off of Mt. Shasta.
