You know I loathe promoting myself. That's not to say I don't believe in my work because I do know that some people have enjoyed my stories and found something meaningful in them.

But it's Friday, and I've got little to say other than these are my two novels formatted for e-readers, The Famous One only for Kindle and Destination for all versions. They're priced inexpensively ($1.99 and $2.99 respectively) and do contain the gospel message to be upfront about their spiritual content.

The Famous One reads like a fictional biography and Destination is a small town love story. Here are the blurbs:

    The Famous One takes an introverted yet passionate character of few words and deep running emotion and puts him into the spotlight of fame where he is hungry for value, substance, and real love but struggles to find them.

 

     Life leads us to and from many places, but when it comes to eternity there are only two choices for our destinations . . .

     An unlikely felon returns to his roots and the friendship of a fiery old widow.  The last things he expects to find are true love, a ministry to youth, and the unusual burden for his new love’s ex-fiancé.    Destination

 

Father, thank you for the privilege and pleasure of writing my novels. You provide the inspiration. Apart from you, I can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    As a reader, I like your style of promotion. You promote, but it doesn’t occupy every post (I could get off on a tangent about other locations and self promotion but I won’t). AND it’s a also a benefit to me the reader because life gets busy and sometimes you forget to go purchase a book you saw and the promotions are a reminder of what needs to be in our read pile.
    In this case, I have already gotten my copy of Destinations but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. But you’re to blame. 😎 You introduced me to Vince Flynn so I’m currently working through that series. LOL!!!!

    I’m with you on self-promoting! I just don’t feel right doing it. Now, I can do it for friends just fine. 🙂
    As Brenda said above, you’re not in our face at all, and a gentle reminder here ‘n there is a good thing.

    Brenda, you are too kind. You know you don’t like romance/love-stories and yet you bought my book? I will say if you read it, you’ll love “Grams”. Beyond that? Meh for you. Having said all that, I can’t thank you enough.
    And I’m not sorry about Vince Flynn! You go Girl. He’s the best at what he did. Sad to lose him.
