Big Magic

Let me tell you that writing a scene can be tough. Describing characters. Building tension. Reaching that happy ending and my favorite…finding a hook that keeps you interested in reading the next book.

Do you know what is also hard? Everything else associated with writing.
It’s the minor details.

Each time I write a new book, I load it on various sites. Goodreads, for an example. I add the details: my name, title, length of book, etc. and I wait.
Typically, it will inform me that the book "cannot be found" or the "author is unknown". Ouch.

But with Akbar’s Diamond, the book loaded immediately. It did the same on Bookbub.

Magic.

Next, I tried to raise the book rank on Amazon. There are millions of books on Amazon so getting a book noticed is difficult. I went to Facebook and asked my friends and family to order the book. I did an interview with Book Drive for Kids. I reminded everyone when the book was released and it happened!

BIG MAGIC

Akbar’s Diamond reached #15 in new releases of Dragon, Unicorn and Mythical Stories and  #19 in Children’s Fantasy (I saw my book on the same page as Rick Riordan’s. I can die happy now.)

I want to say a big thank you for everyone who has:

Ordered a book
Beta read a book and pointed out errors
Encouraged me to keep writing
Took the time to write a review
Read the book for FUN.
I appreciate ALL of you more than I can say.
