I laughed. I cried. I loved it!
This is the story of a strong, independent woman who thinks she's got it all figured out. And she does . . . until she meets the man who melts her heart. This is not what she had planned. And when she finds out that she's pregnant, her whole world falls apart.
Give it a read. You'll like it, too.
Oh . . . and it was written by my best friend. =)
Oooooh! Is that Freckles' book????? How cool is that? And you're right, it is very inspiring. Did she self-publish? Did she have to get an editor? Now I have all sorts of questions.
ReplyDeleteSheri, I self-published through Amazon. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, she did! She and I edited together. It was a lot of fun!! And have I mentioned how much I love the book?
ReplyDeleteIt really was a lot of fun. :) And hey, I got my first really good review on the Kindle version. Sweet!!
ReplyDeleteFreckles - Well, go you girlfriend! I can only imagine how amazing that is. This is some serious inspiration! When I get closer to being done my book I may seek you out for some advice.
ReplyDeleteShady - How awesome a friend are you?! It's so sweet of you to help her edit her work. Hmmm, now that I know you're in the editing business....
:D
And yes, I'm going to order it. Though, I don't kindle, yet, so I'll be ordering a paperback copy.
ReplyDelete:D
I don't claim to be perfect, but grammar is a strong suit. I often catch mistakes in published books (that have been professionally edited). Commas, however, were put on this Earth to irritate me. Truly. ;-P
ReplyDeleteAll that said, I would be happy to offer you my editing services.
I do have a Kindle, but I wanted a hard copy so that Freckles can autograph it for me. I am so flippin' excited!!! It will be here Tuesday.
Sheri, I'll be happy to tell you everything I know. And thank you for ordering my book. I'm sure you'll like it.
ReplyDeleteShady Lady, I have noticed several mistakes in "Self-Publishing for Dummies" already. Wondering whether I should write to the guy to let him know... since it's a self-publishing book and all.
Freckles - Yay! The book has been ordered and I should get in a couple of weeks. I read the review on Amazon too...nice. :D Is there a specific reason you chose to use a pseudonym? I've considered it myself and I have one picked out already but I'm curious if the reasoning is the same.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again.
Sheri, I chose a pseudonym mainly because Americans struggle a lot with my real name. Gabrielle Moon is so much easier to remember. Gabrielle also happens to be my middle name. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of other reasons, but I'd prefer not to go into those here.
OOohhh -Shady is friends with a published author - you're famous Shady!
ReplyDeleteOh - and you too Freckles :-)
Well done, like Sheri, I'll be following the whole progress really closely and will be back to ask lots of questions.
Congrats Freckles!
Freckles - Thanks for responding and no worries, I understand, I know it can be complicated. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cate. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Congrats to Freckles!! Self publishing is very liberating isn't it? Best Wishes on tons of sales!! :o)
