You Don't Want to Miss All This...









Hi All,

First off...please accept my apologies, because it's been a while...a very long while since my last blog entry.  5 months to be exact.  I'm like the bear who's been hibernating all winter (if you live in the Northeast like I do, you know what I mean.) 

Rest assured, it hasn't all been downtime.  In fact, I’ve been very busy writing my next novel NOW YOU SEE ME, which is due out soon, as well as working behind the scenes on a lot of terrific ideas and events you won't want to miss!

So now that spring is around the corner, it's time to get back into the swing of reaching out, because I have LOTS of great news and big ideas to share...

So let’s get started…

Exciting News for Readers...

Right now I’m writing the concluding scenes, editing and getting the cover, just right on my new book NOW YOU SEE ME.  I’m not ready to release a final kick off date just yet, but rest assured, it’s very close.

So in the meantime, to start the celebration (Because I’m so excited to share my newest book with you!), I’ve not only planned some great giveaways on Goodreads, but I’ll also be offering some special pricing on my previous releases…DEADLY SHADOWS, ONE STEP CLOSER, and BE STILL MY BREATH.

The Goodreads giveaways kicked off yesterday at midnight and they run until April 14th.  So you still have plenty of time to be eligible to win one autographed copy of each book.  And it’s easy to enter.  Just click on the link below and click on the button that’s labeled Enter to Win.
























        










And don’t be shy.  You can enter to win one, or all three books.

Not a member of Goodreads?  Well, signing up is easy and free!  Click here to get started!  Simply put, if you love reading, Goodreads is the place to be. 

And here’s something else you won’t want to miss on Goodreads…
If you love romantic suspense, then be sure to check out my recently created Listopia list, The Place for Romantic Suspense.  In case you didn’t know, Listopia is categories of book lists. 
Love paranormal romance?  Well, there’s a list for that. 
Love Southern Quirky Fiction?  Yup, there’s a list for that too. 
How about Best Time Travel Fiction?  You guessed it.  There’s a list.  Anyway, Listopia is a great way to get started on Goodreads.
And remember…if you love romantic suspense, then don’t miss The Place for Romantic Suspense.  You can vote for my books, other books in the lineup and even add your own favorite romantic suspense novels to the list.  Don’t forget to sign up for a free Goodreads account if you don’t already have one.
Next up…keep your eyes posted on my Facebook page because I’m planning some special pricing on DEADLY SHADOWS, ONE STEP CLOSER, and BE STILL MY BREATH in April.   (And while you’re there, please don’t forget to like my page.)

And finally…look for an upcoming, special post on my Facebook page when I reveal the cover of NOW YOU SEE ME!

So now on to…    

Exciting News for Writers...

They say it takes a village to raise a child.  Well the sentiment also rings true for authors and those of us who self-publish and e-publish.

The writing…the editing…developing eye catching book covers…marketing…maintaining Facebook pages, websites, blogs…you get the picture.

So how am I synchronizing the journey with the reality?

By developing a special “How To…” feature as part of my regular blog posts on Synchronicity.

The internet is an amazing place, and as I’ve embarked on my writing and publishing venture, I’ve been overwhelmed and overjoyed about the generosity of some incredibly bright folks who figured out how to assemble the puzzle pieces of some of the biggest e-publishing, social media and formatting problems around.

Bottom line?

These are the instructions and links that save my a** when I was up at midnight trying to format my e-book for Create Space or rushing to get a store set up on my Facebook page.   

This special feature on Synchronicity is still under construction, so please be patient, but I know when it all comes together, it will be an incredibly valuable tool for everyone.  Stay posted for more details.

Whew…that’s all for now.  There’s lot’s going on and I’m excited to share it all with you.

Have a great weekend!

Maggie 



P.S. I owe you a blog post on some great goal setting tips...the post is on my laptop ready to be edited.  Stay tuned.
