      Thank you so much, Kate. I'm honored. I hope you enjoy reading 'She Belongs to Me' as much as I loved writing it. It's my first born, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Happy reading, new friend. :)

      By the way, Kate, I tried to comment and follow you site, and Google wouldn't let me. I replied to three of the other readers, but didn't see any of them, and tried to follow via G+ three times. :(

      If you remind me, I'll try again in a few days. :)

    Hi, Carmen!

    I really like your book, "She Belongs to Me", but I want to get the paperback edition. It's just that I'm a diehard bibliophile, so I do prefer printed books. I also love the cover of the paperback edition, although I must admit that the cover of the Kindle edition (the one on which the woman has raised her right arm to her head) is also pretty nice. Well, I wrote about the PB cover in my March Book Frenzy post.

    I LOVE the plot of this novel, too! It sounds so very interesting! I already have it on my Amazon contemporary romance wish list, as well as on my Goodreads TBR shelves!

    It's great to meet new authors! Enjoy the hop!! : )

      Lovely! Thank you! Believe it or not, I agree with you. I too loved my previous covers. They set the mood exactly for each story. The designer literally pulled the images right out of my head. BUT...they weren't doing their job; they weren't connecting the books. So...I learned a valuable lesson. Great covers are important, but 'branding' is more important. Hopefully, I've managed both now. :)

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

By
Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I...

The rule of thirds: No matter what you do, someone will hate you. Get over it and Write On!

By
No matter what you do in life, a third of the people will love you, a third will hate you, and the rest will be indifferent. Get over it and Write On! Yes, I'm talking to myself. If you're listening, GREAT! It's good advice! Is it easy advice? Heck No! For some reason, even though that percentage is rather low on my books--the percentage of people who hate my books runs about 4.6%--it still hurts.  Note: I only averaged the 'firsts' in my books, the books I actively promote. Because if I go to the second, third, and fourth books in my series, those numbers drop drastically. Obviously, if readers don't like my first book, they don't go on to the rest of my books in a series, so those books receive little to zero one-star reviews. So...if the number of one-star reviews we receive is less than five percent--Thank God ALL of the 33 1/3% of the haters don't write reviews--why do we get so depressed when we receive a one-star review...
