Yes! Dominion, my first mafia romance is in the wild! Lesia came through with a cover that showcases my vision and needed no revisions. I received the cover this morning and uploaded it and Dominion went live already. Amazon, Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.
Writing books is like having children. When I discovered a missing quotation mark in Blue Crescent Black Moon, my debut novel, I agonized over it. When I uploaded Dominion, my third full novel, to Kindle I discovered that I spelled commissary wrong. I shrugged. If you’re going to pick on me for one misspelling out of 58,000+ words…I’m not calling it my problem. So, as it shows in the commercial…first baby gets the fancy diapers and the sterilized pacifier. Third one gets what he gets and needs to deal.
Nick and Mallory are out there. Now I just need people to notice. That’s the hard part. I joined a writer’s group on Facebook and posted my book. That may help. I can look into HiddenGems and get it on there for ARC readers and get some reviews.
I’d love to read a small sample on YouTube, but I still don’t have a voice. Yes, very laryngitis. So, since I can’t read it anyway, I put it on Kindle Unlimited and will just bite the bullet for the 90 days exclusivity they require.
But meanwhile, I’m fixing Shadow Canyon. I went the wrong way with it. I became too invested in the rogue wolves’ arc and forgot that it’s a romance. So, I’m backtracking and adding some scenes.
And I’m writing Legacy. A mafia romance showcasing Aronné Conti and Joey Bennett. He’s a wealthy mafia boss living in Sicily and she, an American, is a sassy hydrographer who doesn’t realize she was hired by a human trafficking ring. The dynamics between Joey and Aronné are often humorous. At 26, she’s a little naive, but the sass is because she’s a Jersey girl. You can take us Jersey girls out of New Jersey, but there’s nothing you can do about the sass.
Take care everyone.
