Free Booksy Ad

So, while work was driving me crazy, stressing me out, I am ashamed to admit I neglected my books and writing. Even reading was hard as I could not get my head clear enough to enjoy it.

Now, I'm unemployed and little by little my head is clearing. Writing is getting easier, I'm more apt to open a book (on my kindle,) and I'm a little happier. I think that's how stress sneaks up on you. Little by little this backpack of rocks is increasing it's load on you until you either shuck it off or it's knocked off. Now I feel like dancing during the day and that makes me realize that heavy backpack is gone. Whew! I hadn't realized it was sooo heavy!

Sorry, I'm wandering.

Free Booksy sent me an ad a couple weeks ago. Be on their page and email blast for $35. I did it.
Right now I want to go back and change my write up. Next time no write ups while sipping my second glass of wine and kicking back watching Breaking Bad. (Multi-tasking!) It took me all of five mins to set the ad. I picked today, because some internet site said Monday's were a good day to blast a book. Today the ad is live;  Go here to see the page- scroll down to find my book under reincarnation.

Now to the Amazon results. First I noticed one new review and it was a nice one. Yay! Thank you nice person!

This went out in an email blast between 10 and noon today. Right now it's 4:30 pm.
So that's 8 books in a few hours. Plus the review? 
I'm good with this and I'll be going back to Bargain Booksy. Affordable advertising and an easy to use set up. If I could warn about anything, don't drink wine while writing your blurb. 

HAPPY WRITING!

Reviews - Yay! Then the Fear...

I took a peek at my book round up on Amazon and noticed a new review.
(Yes, I know exactly how many reviews there are on my books-I'm that crazy-also, there isn't a lot of them :( so it's easy to notice.)

Then I click on that little number to see the reviews...and have a biting moment of fear. What if it's bad?

This book, Soul Mates (A different kind of love story) is either they get it or they don't kind of book. Also, it's the kind of book you have to finish or you might not understand where it was going. I had one person write a bad review who didn't even finish the book. Come on! You don't know what happen or how the main character came out in the end if you didn't finish it. It's a short book for crying out loud!

Oops! Rant over.

So, it was with slow, measured movements I clicked to read the review:

I loved reading this cute little story!

Whew! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! Someone liked my book. My soul is smiling. So, is it just me or does everyone sweat reviews? 

Go Indie or Publishing House?
