In Deep!
For this Indie author, there’s no turning back! Once I officially released my second novel in the genre of Contemporary Women’s Fiction, ‘An Enlightening Quiche,’ (September 2016) –it’s been full steam ahead to put my book in the public eye.
It all started with a full-feature story about my novel and me appearing in the “East Bay Life” section of every East Bay area newspaper in Rhode Island (October 20, 2016). Due to this article, I received a librarian’s invitation to speak and sign at the Barrington Public Library on January 18th.
Henceforth, I had the confidence to procure several more library author events on local turf. I also appeared on ‘An Hour with Bob,’ a popular Rhode Island-based Cable TV program, where I spoke in earnest on behalf of my book.

Author interviews and takeovers on social media! And, lately--I’m in deep, sinking money into book contests in the hope of garnering more publicity and adding to my novel’s brag tag lines whenever I post my daily book ads. Thus far, I’m able to interchange these with my purchase links:
1st out of 77 Books Set in Rhode Island (Goodreads)
Midwest 5-Star Review
Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Seal
ATAI (Authors Talk About It) 5-Star Badge
2017 Top Female Author Nominee (The Authors Show)
I do not intend to enter every contest, preferring to focus efforts on selling my book. Nevertheless, here are three competitions I’ve recently submitted my novel:
2017 International Book Awards (Postmark Deadline: April 30th)

Golden Quill Award Contest (Open from April 1 – June 30)

Readers’ Favorite Annual Book Award Contest (Deadline – May 1st)

My sincere thanks to all of those Indie authors helping other Indies by reaching out without asking for one red cent to do so!
