I have recently become affiliated with an author/reader interactive website called loveahappyending. I initially heard about this NEW website through a friend who writes and reads romance, but the website is not specifically romance.. it caters to and promotes new authors in almost every genre. All of which I think is a wonderful thing. Promotion and marketing are not easy tasks, self promotion and self marketing is even tougher. And if you are a newly published writer, time promoting oneself is time not writing and/or editing. This websites partners authors with readers according to the interests of both, thereby, hypothetically, increasing network capabilities using social media. I certainly hope it works and so far it’s been great fun.
I have been partnered with Chris Longmuir, the author of Dead Wood, a Dundee International Book Prize winner (2009). I initially met Chris (virtually) through the same friend that introduced me to loveahappyending. I had purchased her book and enjoyed it tremendously. She’s an excellent writer and her story was nothing short of brilliant, even though it was a dark and gritty crime novel. Since then Night Watcher was released and I purchased and reviewed it. Again, a fabulous story. Chris’ latest release is A Salt Splashed Cradle, an historical saga. A different genre but just as engaging. I will be back with a review. However if you are interested, my known and unknown readers, you won’t be disappointed checking out this new website… particularly if you are an avid reader.
