I just heard back from Createspace! It’s finally a go.

We’re  ready to order the proof copy of the paperback version of my Dangerous Temptation Preview. It should arrive within a week. That takes me one step closer to getting the paperback copies ready for sale! So many people have already stated they are waiting for the paperback, so that’s a good sign.

My Dangerous Temptation Preview still hasn’t show up at Barnes and Noble, Kobo, or the Sony and Apple Ibook stores yet. {It was shipped three days ago, but they are doing their own reviews of the material, cover art, ect.}It should go live any day now. I’ll keep you posted on those when they go live. Sony and Apple will take about a week.

The good news is my preview is now shipped to over 32 countries and will be available soon. I’ve also received  my first review {a shining 5-star review} on Amazon! I’ve also added what my beta reader said about it as an editorial review. So, I’m one step closer there as well. More reviews should start trickling in soon.

Meanwhile, I’m hard at work on the full length version and I’ve joined several upcoming seminars. One specifically on writing romance and a couple specifically about marketing self published books and romance books. Those will be fun.

Have you ever joined any marketing seminars? Did you learn any neat tricks? Have you ever been to a writer’s conference? What steps have you gone with for marketing and selling your novels? For those of you still in the planning stage, what steps are you considering for your marketing plan?

Catrina Barton is a licensed Kung-Fu Instructor of the Black Dragon style, and draws on that experience to make her fight scenes both realistic and action packed. She enjoys being surrounded by the stark beauty of mother nature. Whether it's a moon-lit starry sky, or a picnic by a peaceful waterfall cascading from the mountain side. Growing up no matter where she was physically, she always had at least one book in her hands and spent every free moment lost in a book. It's only natural that as she grew up, her passion for reading grew into an even stronger passion for writing, especially Young Adult Paranormal Romances. She is a proud member of many writing and marketing groups, and an active participant at Critique Circle and several other crit groups. Favorite personal quote: "An author cannot grow without both constructive criticism and encouragement."
