I finally published!!
« on: August 31, 2013, 12:25:44 am »
Hey guys,

Where else than with friends can I celebrate this event?
I want to share the news with you all. My book, The Legacy: Fate, has been published on Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/352802
They have all popular formats there for every device. Within a week or so, thanks to Smashwords, it should appear on major ebook stores such as Barnes and Nobles, ITunes, Kobo, Sony etc. By tomorrow afternoon (August 31st) it will also be available on Amazon.com. (And it's only priced at 99cents :P)

Whether you want to buy it or not, it's fine with me, but could you please (please! PLEASE!) visit my facebook fanpage and hit 'like'? That would help promote the book.

Thank you so much!

Miri (Who is so happy, she can't stay put more than two minutes!)

Ah thank you!  :-*

Just so you know, I will push an update on Amazon soon. When I formatted the manuscript for Kindle, all the italic passages had been removed. I thought I had corrected them all, but I realized I had missed many. I also fixed the first two chapters, which I found too choppy.
Once I upload the new version, I will ask Amazon to notify the buyers so they can update their file.  (Of course, there will be no charge.)
I am revising it all so I will not have to bug the people and Amazon too often. It's so much easier to do that on Smashwords.

I haven't given up on the idea of a professional editing, but I am not willing to pay in the thousands for it and the one I hired a few months ago was not much more than a human word processor. It would have been funny if not for the waste of time and money. :(

Thanks Mistypooh and Thanks Sorahl.  :-*

Sorahl, you should get an email by Amazon soon, and if you don't, let me know and I will find a way to get you the latest copy. Sorry about that.

Iko: Thank you for your kind words. :)

Starfire: Sometimes I wonder if people even read it so it's nice to have some feed back.   Thank you so much!  :-*


About Amazon.com: I was supposed to have them push for an update but I should have checked how they proceed first. It seems I had to have examples of the changes that were made and from there they would decide if they would make it available. Sadly I didn't take any notes before I uploaded the new file.
Be sure that next time I do, I will note everything down.

Barnes and Nobles and Kobo: The book can now be found in those two stores. I am still waiting for it to appear in ITunes.

Any chance of you setting up a mailing list to notify us when the second book is available? :)
I'm lazy and forget to check threads, but I really want to know what happens to Alex!

Ah thanks for the idea! I didn't think about that.

May I keep the email the website has in file for you?

If you prefer another one, you can always email me at Goldmoons@hotmail.com and I will make sure you know the minute I'm done with The Legacy: Destiny. :)

Well today was unmistakably and most certainly one of the best for me.
It's a good thing the curtains and the blinds were closed when I did that happy dance in the living room, or else the neighbors would have thought me crazy for sure.
I know the dogs did! :o

Yep-yep, today, I got my first Amazon review, which is also my first official review on any site, and it came from one of our guildies! Thank you so much Zach! You really, but REALLY made my day!

I posted it on goodreads.com and I just thought I'd post it here too for my guildies to have the chance to win too. :)


Goodreads Giveaway for US and Canada. (Ends on February 14th)

I'm offering a total of 3 copies of my novel The Legacy: Fate.

Blurb: After his spaceship crashes on Earth, Alex makes a strange encounter. The woman isn't like any other he's ever met before; she is vampire.
For her, he will break rules, his people's rules, until there is no turning back. To protect her, he may have to break his most sacred one: the vow not to take a life.

For USA: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/78291-the-legacy-fate-the-legacy-1?

For Canada:  https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/78292-the-legacy-fate-the-legacy-1?

Good luck!

(I want to apologize for the people outside of these two countries. I need to figure out how much it would cost before I attempt a Giveaway elsewhere.)
