Swedish For Beginners On Kindle

If you want to travel the world without the expense, you can easily do so with the book "Swedish For Beginners" by Susanne O'Leary. The Swedish born author who now lives in Ireland has received many positive reviews on this Women's Fiction book that takes the main character to various parts of the world where she has also traveled. Her books are poignant and a must read for women who are looking for good women's fiction or chick lit.
If you want to take advantage of the low Kindle price, hurry. She's doing very well and is ranked high in Kindle. If you're looking for good women's fiction that allows you to travel without having to leave your home, check it out. Swedish For Beginners
Writing The Sequel?
I wrote the sequel to my book in a month. First draft. It was easy (took me a year and a half to write the first book) because I knew the characters. I pulled some new characters in, killed off some old ones and had a lot of fun with the sequel. Instead of letting one of my male characters gradually build his role up in the book, I have him come on like gangbusters from the beginning.
So now I'm on the third draft of the sequel. Not that difficult, but the editing is a PITA. Always hated that.
The good news is that those who haven't read the first book can still read the sequel and enjoy it. It gives enough background information so the reader knows what's going on. The bad news is that I have to still edit and proofread.
I'm wondering just how long you should wait between books to release a sequel? Any authors write a sequel to their self published books? How long did you wait?

For Those Who Have Kindle.....
Those who have Kindle can get a HUGE DISCOUNT on the book Chasing Eliot Ness because I cut the price down to $1.99. So if you have a Kindle and were thinking of getting this book.....wait a couple of days until it's live again. It takes a few days for Amazon to make the change.
You'll enjoy the book a lot more if it costs you less money.

The Kindle Experience
I don't know if anyone is aware that the book Chasing Eliot Ness is now available on Kindle. This gives those in other countries a chance to read the book and also discounts it (price slashed in half) for those who have this device.
Personally, I'd like to see Kindle used as a tool for school books. I don't know how many people out there have kids in college, but the cost of college books is astronomical. And it's the biggest scam going. The books are $100 each and usually can't be used the next year because they've been "revised."
Kindle would eliminate a lot of the cost for school books for not only college, but high school children. Instead of carrying a load of books around, they can use the Kindle device as it holds quite a bit of downloads. Lighter to carry, too.
While I prefer to read a tangible version of a book, when it comes to textbooks I think Kindle should be mandatory. Especially in the economic climate we have today.

Second Chances - At Bargain Rate!

Those who are not only looking for a good Western Romance but also a bargain at the same time will enjoy Second Chances by Kristie Leigh Maguire. This book is available at Amazon Kindle for only $2,99. It's a Western set romance about.....second chances.
Ever loved and lost? Then found love again? Most women know this feeling. When the guy you love stomps all over your heart. What would it be like to have him back again? And how can you really trust him if he does return?
This book is a real steal for this price - especially considering the reviews the author, who has several books under her belt in the romance category - is getting. This is well worth your while to check out!

Eden - Louise Wise - A True Artist

Louise Wise has decided to break with the romance genre with her science fiction/romance book Eden that is available at Amazon. She has several great reviews from customers who have enjoyed this book in which the lead character is trapped in strange territory.
Louise has decided to break with tradition and go for a captive romance with a science fiction slant. I know one person who will be thrilled to read it and that's my sister who loves Sci Fi AND romance!
If you are interested in learning more about Louise or her book, you should take a look. Ladies who are interested in something different when it comes to romance will enjoy Eden that is selling well on Amazon.
Louise is a true artist. Someone who wrote a book that by all accounts has something in it for everyone. Especially the ladies who want a bit of fun with a sexy hero ;)
