I often get messages asking me about the mockups I use for my book teasers and thought I’d write a post about it as a way to also organize the who’s and the what’s of creating book teasers. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, this is a book mockup. It’s basicallyContinue reading “Mockups Anyone?”

Words Are Powerful
The last week in Romanceland has been rife with controversy. I kinda got caught up with it emotionally because I knew people in both camps, and as a result, I’ve fallen behind on my word count. Like, really behind. I had originally thought about not writing about it but at the same time, I thought,Continue reading “Words Are Powerful”
So You Want to Write (and Publish) Erotica…
So I’ve been publishing Naughty Pen’s stories now since July 2017 and so far, these are the lessons I’ve learned so far (these are just the things that apply to me so YMMV). I’m going to list the things I’ve learned below but you’ll need to click on Page 2 at the bottom of thisContinue reading “So You Want to Write (and Publish) Erotica…”
Diving Back In
So last week I lamented my lack of motivation to write. It made me sound lazy (I am but that’s beside the point) and in need of validation with every chapter I wrote. Then I took a closer look and realized that it’s not exactly true. One reason why I haven’t been into my LizContinue reading “Diving Back In”
Getting Ready for 2018: Book+Main
This is one of those posts that will be published in a series (if I remember!) so I don’t get overwhelmed with all the information. Because with so many things to take care of for 2018, I figure it’s a good idea to break them down into individual posts instead of putting them all inContinue reading “Getting Ready for 2018: Book+Main”
So I Got Featured…
Yup, just like the titles says, I got featured over at Instafreebie and I forgot to tell anyone all about it. And then I realized nine days later, that because they post every day, if I didn’t at least find the link to it, then I’ll never find it! So here it is, and IContinue reading “So I Got Featured…”
Where Do You Get Your Books?
This morning, I learned all about segmenting my subscribers according to their e-reader choices. This was from one promotion that I participated in where it was one of the questions: What device do you use to read your e-books? Out of about 890 or so subscribers, I got the following information: 776 read on a Kindle 21Continue reading “Where Do You Get Your Books?”
Lists – How Important Are They for Indie Authors *cough*… Like Me?
When I was much younger and a regular staple at the library or Borders, I used to judge books not only by their covers but by the words NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. It made me attend conferences with notable guests like Pulitzer Prize winners and Poet Laureates. I learned, maybe erroneously, that “By NewContinue reading “Lists – How Important Are They for Indie Authors *cough*… Like Me?”
Three Things (Self-Publishing)
One of the things I love to listen to while doing stuff around the house (i.e. not writing) is The Author Hangout: Book Marketing Tips for Indie & Self-Published Authors podcast. Towards the end of his interviews, Shawn usually asks what three things his guests would do if they were starting out again. It gotContinue reading “Three Things (Self-Publishing)”
