The Value of a Dollar
It’s frustrating watching the news. The stock markets are plummeting, governments are going bankrupt, and politicians can’t get along. Gas prices are sky rocketing, the price of food is going up, and a night out is outrageous.
I tried to figure out what I could really buy for a dollar, this is what I came up with:
A quart of gas with enough left over for a piece of bubble gum – that means I can drive 6 miles for a dollar’s worth of gas and have minty breath while I walk the rest of my trip.
Four tablespoons of a Mocha Latte (my favorite) at Starbucks – although I think the person behind the counter might be unwilling to sell me only four tablespoons.
I can get an order of small fries from the McDonald’s value menu.
Enough with the depressing ideas of how little I can buy; now let me tell you the good news! E-books, thousands of them are .99 cents or less! These books represent several months, in some cases maybe years of an author’s life and they’re willing to share it with you for less than a dollar.
Okay, so if you’re reading this blog, chances are you already know I have a book with great reviews for .99 cents – but have you tried...
Shelly Crane’s Significance, Lizzy Ford’s Katie’s Hellion, Jessica Sorensen’s The Fallen Star, Samantha Young’s Smokeless Fire, Addison Moore’s Ethereal
These are just a few of my favorites; I bet you have some too! If you do, put your favorite .99 book in the comments so others can give them a test drive. If you haven’t tried any of the above, I highly recommend you do!
Thanks to all of you that have taken the time to send me notes and tweets this month! I still keep myself in the “Rookie” category and your feedback is truly an inspiration!
All for now,
Nancy

The Destiny's Wrath Cover
I'm sooooo EXCITED! 10 days until Destiny's Wrath releases!!!
Ready for the big unveil? The book’s synopsis is:
In the final installment of the Destiny Series, Lauren and Max still yearn for their normal life together. Although finally united, they’re unable to enjoy their bliss when they learn nine people have been viciously murdered. The murderer is a young man who saved Max’s life months earlier. Lauren and Max must decide how to help the young man and destroy the evil that resides within him. The only thing the Council and the Cabinet can agree on is: Lauren and Max need to stay away. Lauren and Max worry that this time the evil may consume them both. Nobody involved saw the power of Destiny’s Wrath until it was upon them.
If you haven’t noticed yet, Destiny’s Revenge got its new cover yesterday. Dreamscape covers did a fabulous job, again! Any authors out their looking for a great design, I highly recommend their custom work!
Thanks to everyone that has recommended the Destiny Series to your Friends!! It’s an adrenaline rush to get your reviews, notes and tweets!
Many thanks!
