Check out the cover for “The First Day of the New Tomorrow” Wahoo!

Posted on September 20, 2013 | 15 comments

Yahoo!  I am so excited to reveal the cover for my new story “The First Day of the New Tomorrow”

This is my first young adult release, and I’m stoked because I finally get to explode something let loose and have a little fun.

Here we go!  What do you think?

The First Day of the New Tomorrow medium 333x500

Cover copy:

When dreams become reality, reality becomes a nightmare

Maya dreams of perfect skin, beautiful hair, good grades, and Eric Brighton—the boy she’s been crushing on since middle school. No matter how hard she tries, all these things elude her, but when a creepy college recruiter arrives with news that Maya has omnipotent powers, things change quickly.

Having everything she wants is a lot harder than Maya expects, though. Will she give it all up for the chance to be normal again, even if it means losing Eric?

The First Day of the New Tomorrow Releases on September 27th, but remember, if you want to be the first to read it, you can pre-order it in on my publisher Muse It Up’s Website right now for 20% off.  Way cool!

What do you think?

Holy Smoke! 1,000 Followers? How about a givaway?

Posted on September 8, 2013 | 21 comments

Today my Web Site hit 1,000 direct followers. That’s 1,000 people who have logged in here through WordPress and hit the “follow” button.

My handy-dandy little stats calculator now tells me almost 7,500 people follow this blog through different outlets.  That is incredibly cool, and a little humbling.

Unbelievable.

I know that’s nothing compared to some other sites, but for this little author, I think it’s huge.

Thanks so much everyone for reading and participating. It means a lot when I see your cheery avatars, and you make it interactive.

And A big old Alligator “Hi and thanks” to everyone who reads my rantings faithfully through email and streaming, but choose not to comment.  I appreciate you as well!

I’m glad everyone gets something out of all this, even if it is only a little chuckle now and then.

Anyway… to celebrate, how about an impromptu giveaway?

Paper Wishes Final

I have an ecopy of my book Paper Wishes up for grabs to a commenter below.

Stop on in and say Hi!

I don’t even have a cover yet, so it’s kind of weird, but that doesn’t tone down the coolness of it all.

So if you’d like to see me explode something be one of the first people to get a copy of my new book, and get it for 20% off while you’re at it, hop on over to Muse It Up.

It’s Release Day For My Book Paper Wishes! Wahoo!

Posted on August 6, 2013 | 55 comments

I am super excited to announce the release of my sweet romance “Paper Wishes”

I have to admit that this feels a little weird in August because it’s Winter in the world of “Paper Wishes”, but what better way to cool down then cuddling up on the beach with a book that makes you think of snow!

Paper Wishes FinalPaper wishes is about a single mother who writes down a wish on a piece of paper, but quickly forgets about it.  Funny thing about wishes.  They have a way of coming true even if you’ve forgotten about them, and when her best friend Jack makes a wish that might tear them apart, a little girl’s completely unrelated wish could bring them all together… if their wishes can be twisted to make them all come true.

This theme may seem familiar because “Paper Wishes” was originally published under the name “Jack and Jill”.  The title was not picked up when Still Moments Publishing was purchased by White Rose Press.

I am thrilled that Astraea Press loved the story as much as I did, and “Paper Wishes” has been completely revamped and tightened for a brand new audience.

And at the bargain price of $0.99 I’m hoping everyone will take a chance on my little gem.

Paper Wishes Final
 To celebrate, I have an ebook copy to give away to a random commenter below.

I’ll also have a copy to give to a random person who shares on Facebook or Twitter.  Be sure to tag me so I see your post. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by!

Jack & Jill, Volume One CoverI now have official links, so if you guys could do me a favor and hit “like” on Amazon for the Paperback Version and the Kindle Version (No, I don’t know why it’s separate either.

Well, I do, but that’s a story for another day.

Also, if you could be a dear and add it to your Goodreads list, that would be just sumptuous.

Some Great News! I have a New Release Coming. Yay!

Posted on December 30, 2012 | 9 comments

Firstly, I’m being interviewed today over at Georgie Tyler’s blog.  Hop on over and visit! http://www.georgietyler.com/2012/12/say-hi-to-author-jennifer-eaton.html

Annnnnnddddd………………….

I’m interrupting this blog tour for “Make Believe” and “For the Love of Christmas” with some exciting news!

A while ago I announced that my story “Test of Faith” was accepted by Still Moments Publishing.

Well, It gets even better!

A Test of Faith is going to be combined with the re-release of my “Connect the Dots” as a Novella called “Jack and Jill, Volume One”.

Did you catch that?  VOLUME ONE!

I pitched the idea of following these characters through the tremulous first year in a relationship, and Still Moments liked the idea, so you will get to see more of these characters as their relationship progresses.

Yay1!

And for even more fun… Here is the Cover Reveal!

Jack and Jill, Volume One will be available on January 22!

What do you think of the cover?

The Proper (and easy!) way to Market your Novel #4 – The dreaded Public Appearance

Posted on October 26, 2012 | 15 comments

Alright, we’ve talked about not marketing your novel… instead, marketing yourself.  How do you do that?  By being nice.

(Check out the last few Friday posts if you’re just jumping in.)

Okay, so it’s all well and good doing this over the internet… but what about those public appearances?

We can all be nice, that’s not too hard.  Getting out there in front of people… that is hard.  But when you do, just remember that you don’t need to shove your novel in people’s faces.

Just smile pretty.  Answer questions.  Be yourself.

If you are a scared, timid writer, invent a new character who is outgoing and friendly… and be that person for a little while. (It’s called acting).

In the end, the connections you make will sell your work.  The connections you make will lead to “word of mouth”.  And you never know when you will be nice to someone, and they will help you out.

Remember Ed Griffis?  After my post on his novel, dozens of my followers re-tweeted it.  It’s the Twitter snowball effect.   His Kindle rating jumped.  Pretty cool, huh?  I’m not saying that is all because of my post.  Maybe it was just a coincidence. (There is a lot that goes into your Amazon rating.  It not only has to do with your sales, but everyone else’s too.)  But if you guys did all run out and buy his book, that’s great… and you found out about it because the author was “nice” to me for a little while.

Easy self-promotion, right?
Market yourself.  Not your novel.

Smile pretty at everyone.

You never know who you might meet.

By the way… thanks for stopping by.

It’s great to meet you!  🙂
