A journey into traditional publishing
My new novel, Cinnamon & Sugar, is being
published by The Wild Rose Press with a full release on Jan 18, 2021. On Amazon
it shows that you can pre-order. Once I found this out, I posted on Facebook.
That, apparently, was enough to move it to position #250,000 with a hi so far of 800,000 on the best seller
list. Look at this oddity in context. There are something like 7,000,000 books
offered on Amazon, correct me if the number is higher. So what does this variation in numbers mean? I don’t know yet, maybe 20 or 30 sales?? I know that the average book
sells 6 copies, lol. Don’t be that guy or gal.
Oh how to avoid that, yuk. You see, for me, I have no
choice. When I was caretaking my daughter Lani, who passed away last year, I
read the manuscript to her. She cried, it being right up her alley. She marched
for women’s and civil rights. She made me promise to find a publisher and use the royalties to help my grandchildren. All royalties will go to the grandkids. So that’s why I have no choice. I must be successful, lol.
Seriously, I know some of my author friends struggle with finding a traditional publisher.
I’ll suggest that you find a cause coincident with the theme of your book. And
if it is simply about love, celebrate it with all the passion you have. It
helps to have someone pushing you. In my case, I have an angel.

Meet the heroine of my story as I see her. Alicia Bloom. Young and gorgeous, a valedictorian and poet who cannot go to college, being held back by her fosters. So she runs away and immediately finds herself in a world of hate in which she becomes the target of a homicidal maniac, just because she talked back to him. Just because she's black. Genre: new adult, interracial romance, probably rated PG.
