I really enjoyed the way you decided to edit the book, not worrying about what group would buy it, but whether it held to your truth. I'm on the squeamish side, and I wouldn't be surprised if your demon isn't wandering around someplace in my brain. Thanks again Robert and Madeline.

The very first part of June there is a surge, mostly from Grad’s getting Kindle and filling them & people getting their summer reads together. . The next huge surge will be in November (late November) when we go into Christmas shopping mode. For a first release, I wanted to hit some time around them, to snag whatever new readers I could. <br /> I know when I do more creature features, (more short Horror books) They won’t launch anytime near July… no regrets on this release, but I hope this is my last summer release.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518398148758843983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773382509071881565.post-7686787888189401932013-07-06T11:14:48.635-07:002013-07-06T11:14:48.635-07:00Thanks Lynne and Sherrey,

So many of us want to rush through our work without doing it write.<br /><br />So no matter what the genre we still have to do all the hard work to get it right. I thank Robert for sharing his wisdom.<br /><br />Also, we must all have personal reasons for picking our publishing dates - mine was to release on Mother's Day since mine was a mother's memoir. I wonder if in the long run it will make a difference in sales that Robert and Lynne picked July.madeline40https://www.blogger.com/profile/06549058012582815995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773382509071881565.post-85396667842643215112013-07-06T10:35:44.069-07:002013-07-06T10:35:44.069-07:00I'm echoing Lynne's comment.

Love those words "You can do it easy or you can do it right." <br /><br />Robert, you've opened this yet-to-be-published writer's eyes to many things, and I thank you for that. Whether or not you've won me over to horror stories remains to be seen, but you've got me thinking! My prayers are with you and your mother.<br /><br />Madeline, thanks for inviting Robert to blog on Choices. I agree we all need to stretch ourselves and investigate new genres.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773382509071881565.post-8626726032527376082013-07-05T18:52:13.058-07:002013-07-05T18:52:13.058-07:00You can do it easy or you can do it right.

Here I was feeling all sentimental that I self-pubbed my debut novel on July 17 last year, the date that would have been my mom and dad's 65th anniversary. <br />Best wishes! Love the cover art.Lynne Spreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524966973350797767noreply@blogger.com
