Dear Readers: You Are OUTSTANDING!

 

Wow! You didn’t just listen, you went above and beyond! You brought Three Spaces to #16 in Contemporary Poetry on Kindle (Amazon.com) and then you UK readers got it to #59 for a while in the UK! Not sure where it stands today but last I looked it was hovering at #25, just beside Billy Collins’ latest book of poems. That in itself makes me want to sit down and catch my breath, except, I’m running around looking after a little girl with gastrointestinal flu. Ick. Poor girl.

It’s probably good I’m preoccupied with her being ill because I can’t really wrap my head around how fast Three Spaces flew up the charts ON THE SAME DAY that The Friends I’ve Never Met charted in Women’s Fiction, in the subcategory Action and Adventure!Last I looked, it was #33 on Amazon.com Kindle, and #36 in Single Women on Amazon.ca Kindle. It’s alongside the likes of Sophie Kinsella and Helen Fielding (Mad About the Boy is #1 in Single Women Fiction ) so I am in great company and completely ..well..freaking out, despite that I need to go to bed!

Had to take some time before I myself go to bed early to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for helping my books be discovered by more readers. That is what these charts can do. Hopefully, thanks to your help getting these books on these charts, more readers will find my work…and with The Friends I’ve Never Met I hope I’ll find the audience I’d like for my upcoming book of contemporary fiction (it will also likely fall under Women’s Fiction and Action and Adventure)

So please help the books stay on the charts. Please share this post, or share the book links from Amazon, or show someone how to download the free reading software from Amazon. Thanks so much for making Indie books matter!

Book Giveaway Winners!

The FIVE winners of my book giveaway are…

Instant Drum Roll…

Sean Vessey, Julia Kovach, Kim Laroque, Peter Carter and Kathy Uyen Nguyen. They will have their books soon!

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting my career as an author; for sharing my books with others, writing reviews, & telling me what you did (and didn’t) like in my work.

Can you believe that it has been five years since Where the Butterflies Go was published?

Instant Surprise 🙂

SO much has happened since then. I’m grateful for those of you who have stuck with me on this journey since the start, and those of you who have ‘found’ this Page or my Twitter or blog and shared it with others.

I’m going into hiding a little now to finish my first long book of fiction, and hope that in the meantime, please, you’ll keep busy reading & sharing my poems and screenplay and the work of other indie authors.  In this fast-changing, confusing book industry, we need all the help we can get!

Much love and gratitude,
