New Year Resolutions And Book Promoting

Okay people. I know that the new year is not so new anymore, but hey, I never claimed to be th most punctual person in the world. So here's my New Year Resolutions post. After I watched my favourite youtuber video about how she used to think that those resolutions were a waste of time, and why she changed her mind I thought I'll follow her lead. It's been always my opinion that making resolutions is pointless, as I am really bad at keeping them. But hey, people change, right? So why not try and change? So I came up with some resolutions of my own. First and most important one being: To write at least one book per month.
Well, I'm quite erratic when it comes to my writing, but let's hope I'll find the strong will that i need to keep this promise to myself. My other resolutions are more personal, so I'll share only one of them: Get my motorbike license and start saving for a bike. It is my dream since i was a little girl to own a real Harley Davidson and ride it. I am now closer to finalizing this dream that i have ever been.
Okay, and since you suffered through my confessions let's get to the part of promoting my books.
So I am a new author as you probably know and have no idea about all this stuff that comes after the book has been published. I only know what I like when it comes to my favourite authors. And I like getting books for free. So I decided to offer three free copies of my first and second book in Reality Series. I thought about making a contest out of it, but decided against it. So I'll give away a copy of each: Changing His Reality, and Reality Check to first three people who leave a comment under this post and then send me an email.  Pretty straightforward, isn't it?
So, free books anyone?

YAY! My second book's release day!

Wow! I still can't believe it. Today is my second books release day. It still feels surreal to me. My books are actually out there being read by someone!
The last couple of months had been tough. Moving houses, changing jobs, trying to judge how much time I can actually spend writing. Fortunately the busiest time has passed and now I can concentrate more on my writing.
The second book from reality series is out today, and currently I've got about 23K written of a first book in new series. The plan is to finish it and then go back to telling Tim's story in Reality series. Those who got to like Jason, Tyler and their friends will have to wait a bit to see what happened to the whole bunch.
Anyway, I don't want to bore you to death so I'll just leave a link to Reality Check and wait for your comments and opinions.

Some News

 Over a month has passed since my last post and I've been very busy all that time. Between being sick and having to work in the restaurant I didn't have much time to write. Now finally feeling better I can't seem to find my Muse. I'm stuck on my current WIP and need to take a step back from it.

With Christmas quickly approaching the restaurant is bursting with customers and they need me to work more than usual. It makes fitting in some Christmas preparations really hard. :/

But here's the good News: I got a cover for my second book! And let my just say IT IS AMAZING!

Book Two of Reality Series tells the story of Dominic and Jiminy. It will come out early in January.

And with this great news I need to go. Time for my day job!

Wow! Just wow!

Last week was sheer madness! I found a new apartment on Monday, I moved into it on Thursday, I worked every evening until this Monday, I struggled with:

Address changes, failing internet connection, lack of furniture, lack of internet connection, shopping for essentials like cutlery and crockery, reappearing and disappearing internet connection, tiredness, and once again the BLOODY INTERNET CONNECTION!!!

But now I can finally sit back and enjoy the fruits of my hard work:

Some furniture appeared and the apartment doesn’t look so bare, a sofa and a cabinet are coming tomorrow. Most of my stuff is unpacked from the boxes and put in a semi-permanent place.

And the most important and enjoyable news: The second book in my Reality Series has been accepted by the publisher!

YAY!

And I managed about five thousand words into a new book, this time first in another series.

Life’s being good today!

Unless the bloody Internet stops working again!

<Narrows her eyes and dares it to happen>

Pfffft...

Forty one thousand words into my second book and it's almost done. It should be ready to be sent to the publisher by the end of the week. This is of course a week later than I planned but still, ONLY a week, that has to count for something, right?

From more exciting news - Changing His Reality jumped onto 14th position of 30 best-selling books of last 14 days. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. I wonder if people liked it...

If anyone who bought it sees this post please leave a comment or a review on the website. I so want to know what you thought about it.

I still need to decide, what to do with my ARC copies. I know I should send it to a reviewer but somehow I can't make myself to do it. It might have something to do with the changes in my life right now. I'm moving houses this Saturday and there's lots of packing and dealing with other stuff. It's really hard to concentrate on writing in all this chaos and stress. Still finishing the second book is my priority so sending copies to reviewers will have to wait.

Anyway, I wanted to give my thanks to all the people who bought my book giving a new author a chance. I hope you weren’t disappointed...

WOW, just wow

Tired but alive

Trying to juggle two jobs with writing is not easy. Unfortunately it seems writing usually takes the last place. So here I am barely two days from my first book being published and way behind writing the second one. I planned to have it finished by now, but no such luck. I do have over 26K words but still need another fifteen thousands at least. Fortunately it's my martial arts training tomorrow, so I'll be able to blow some steam off and hopefully clear my mind which will allow me to get back to writing with renewed enthusiasm.
Maybe I'll add WIP section to my blog... that should work as a great motivator!
