One Month Number Game! & Giveaway!

5/4/2014

Hi All!

I have a number game for you today.

(And before I go into this, I want you to know, I am in no way bragging about these numbers. I am just so incredibly thankful for all of you and what you have done for me.)

So numbers.

30 - The number of days since Choose Us has been released.

50 - The number of e-book sales I was hoping for within the first month.

5 - The number of paperbacks I was expecting to be bought (because I knew a few friends who were going to buy).

0 - The number of borrows from Amazon Prime I was expecting.

Now, it's not that I didn't have high expectations for Choose Us. I knew it was a great book - I loved it and had gotten amazing feedback from the lovely ladies who had already read it.
But I'm a newbie. So, I was keeping my predictions/expectations
low. I had done enough research to know that your debut novel typically doesn't do amazing.

Back to numbers.

#3,981 - First Amazon Best Sellers Rank I took a screenshot of, because I figured it would be the highest and I was incredibly excited about that.


#1,849 - First time I broke into the 1000s and was FREAKING.OUT!

#963 - When I broke into the hundreds. WHA?!

Okay, I could go on and on with this, because I took a screenshot every time my ranking got higher and higher.

#162 - The HIGHEST Bestseller Rank (Paid in Kindle Store) I hit.

#1 - Bestseller Rank I hit in Women's Fiction > Humor

NUMBER ONE FREAKING BESTSELLER!  Um..... what?!?!?!?!

Okay - now... if that wasn't enough to make me pee my pants and scream uncontrollably...(The screaming happened...not the pee)...Here are some numbers that just BLOW.MY.MIND.

1 - Number of days it took to hit that 50 sale goal.

ONE FREAKING DAY.

You are amazing.

100+ -
The number of times that 50 goal got hit.

To say I'm surprised/happy/amazed/ecstatic, is a HUGE understatement!

I'll go back to that 50 number. FIFTY. That's what I was hoping to sell. That's what I was going to be super freaking excited if I hit. FIFTY. 5-0.

You have left me speechless.

2 - The number of words I want to say to you.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really all I can say. You all are so amazing!

I just....

Unbelievable is what I would call these past 30 days.


Unbelievable. Unexpected. Utterly Amazing.

I feel like 'Thank you' just isn't enough for what you've done.

So - how about a giveaway?!


One person will win a signed paperback copy of Choose Us. (U.S. only!!)


BUT, I'm not forgetting about all you awesome folks who don't live in the US.

Newsletter = Exclusive Travis POV!!

5/1/2014

Hi Friends!

A few things for you today.

The first. Have you signed up for my newsletter yet? If you do, you will receive exclusive updates, teasers and contests/giveaways. ONLY for those signed up for the newsletter.

The very first newsletter will go out on Monday morning (May 5th). It will include an update on my current WIP (maybe even a teaser) and an exclusive never-before-seen (and never to be seen again) Travis POV. Seriously folks - you do NOT want to miss this POV. I haven't decided exactly which scene/chapter it'll be from... but it'll probably be from Chapter 11 or Chapter 25. I mean, you don't really want to miss that, do you? You really want to know what is going on inside Travis' (stupid) head!

So - go sign up, you can do it under the Contact Me tab. The last day for you to sign up to get this special POV is Sunday, May 4th. Because, again, the newsletter is going out MONDAY MORNING! So get signed up before then so you don't miss out!

Just to tease you a little more... what I'm saying is you could either get more of this:

“You’ll have time after your date. Now, go get ready.” Jim clicked off the line before I could answer.

“DAMNIT!” I slammed the phone back on the counter and punched the door shut. The longer I waited to talk to Riley the worse I felt it could be.

or this:

After not seeing her for two weeks, my heart jumped when she walked towards me. But that wasn’t all. She was undeniably gorgeous. A fact that had not been lost on me since I turned sixteen. If I had balls back then, I would have asked her out back then. But I was chicken shit, and scared of losing my best friend. Then I started dating girls the exact opposite of her, trying to get her out of my mind, because, let’s face it, dating your best friend is never a good idea—especially when you are young and stupid.

So... you know... sign up!!

The next thing...
On Saturday - it will have been a month since I released Choose Us. I'll be posting a blog that day about the craziness that has been this past month - and how you all completely exceeded my expectations of selling my first book. Seriously, it is still very unbelievable to me! As a thank you - there may be some sort of giveaway. So be sure to check back then!

And.... well, that's about all.
Make sure to sign up for the newsletter!!!! I want you to understand why Travis was doing the things he did! And really, do you want to miss a Travis POV?! (I'll make it easy for you... SIGN UP HERE!!!!!!!)

That is all for now. I'll see you again on Saturday!!
