Five-star Review!!!

I received a five-star review for Madison on Goodreads from the wonderful reader 'Em - everybody's got a dark side ;)'  You can read all about it here.

Here's part of what she said: "5star all because of Taylor; just loved him to absolute bits, and would very much like to read more of him in the future."

I'm so happy my book is taking off! <3 <3 <3

Thank you Em!!!

REVIEWED!!!

Hey everyone, I received my first official review from a book blogger this morning!!!  The lovely and amazing Tess Watson has reviewed my book and was nice enough to post it to her blog "My Pathway to Books", as well as on Amazon and on Goodreads!!!

Here's her review:
(Four stars)
Madison is a great paranormal romance full of action, adventure, and love!

The book is told in Taylor's, the boyfriend, point of view which was refreshing. There aren't many male perspectives in this genre, and it gave the story a much different perspective. The narrating is very interesting. In some parts of the story, Taylor will get on a soap box and talk to the reader directly about his opinion on different things. This made me feel closer to the story. Taylor was also a great character. He has witty humor and a courageous spirit. He was an easy character to fall in love with.

I really like Madison's character. She is the type of girl that goes after what she wants and doesn't take no for an answer. Her supernaturalness gives her added responsibility, but she still has the attitude and wants of a teen.

Madison/ White Ops is a very fast paced novel. There weren't any lulls in the story or times when I felt the story was dragging. It kept my interest with every page. This pace did make the romance feel a little too quick. Madison and Taylor fall in love very quickly, but with the actions later in the book the quick love didn't feel fake.

I recommend this to any lovers of the genre especially if you're looking for a great book with suspense, drama and action scenes that will be painted in your mind.

*for Mature readers*

Thank you so much Tess!!! <3 <3 <3

Last Minute Shopping

Did some last minute shopping today at 6am.  Why was I shopping at 6am?  The first hundred people who showed up at one of the local stores here had a chance to win a Kindle Fire HD.  So I thought it would be the thing to do.  Unfortunately, I didn't win.  Oh well.  I just hope that it went to someone deserving of it.  Anyway, I wish every last one of you a wonderful holidays!!! <3

Paperback Attack!!!

So Madison can now be purchased in paperback on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Madison-T-M-Knight/dp/148120873X/ and White Ops can be purchased in paperback on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/White-Ops-T-M-Knight/dp/1481211420/.

I'm still kind of amazed that the White Ops version is doing as well as it is considering I'm spending a lot more time working on trying to market Madison.  But so far initial sales are exceeding my expectations.  I'm excited about the upcoming reviews, my interview, and book giveaway!  <3

Finding Reviewers

So I'm very fortunate to have a friend that's a NYT Bestselling author.  She gave me a list of about ten different book reviewers that might be good to submit to.  On that list was Tess Watson of My Pathway to Books.   Not only is she super sweet and going to review Madison, but her website is outstanding, and has been extremely helpful!  <3  She's posted a list of other reviewers and their blogs, which should help me greatly in finding reviewers.  Thank you!!!! <3 <3 <3

Excitement!!!

So I've been making some connections on Facebook, Twitter, GoodReads, and I'm getting to meet a lot of amazing people!  I think if my writing career takes off, that will be the thing I'll enjoy the most <3

Sales

Without any real advertising running at all yet I've already sold a couple of copies of Madison, and a copy of White Ops.  I'm really excited to see how they do once people start hearing about them!  Thank you to the three people that have already purchased it!  <3

Advertising

I just set up ads on www.GoodReads.com for both Madison and White Ops.  One set of ads is for the US, the other for the UK.

In other news, before I really even told anyone about it, I'd already sold a few copies of Madison.  I guess somehow people saw it and bought it.  Nice!
