| First Review For Best Man |
What a pleasant surprise I had on Sunday when I received my first review for Best Man. Although I was a bit scared to open the link when I first received it, I'm glad I did.
Happily Ever After Reviews said this about Best Man: I didn’t really know what to expect when I picked up “Best Man.” Admittedly, it did appeal directly to one of my largest personal kinks: friends who become lovers. Yet beyond the story itself came strong characterization, fantastic dialogue, and a wealth of emotion that powered its words from beginning to end.
This story had an amazing amount of heart. I can’t recommend it enough.
Go to the link for the full review.
It's still giving me warm fuzzies.
I'm currently working on the galley for That Kind of Magic. The final step in the process! It's the last chance to catch any problems before being published. It's a much needed process, so I'm discovering. It's amazing the little things that can slip through the cracks throughout the editing process.
Fall is here and my mind is turning toward November and NaNoWriMo. Yes, I'm attempting it this year again. I love to do it, even though I don't always complete it. Just have to decide on what I'm going to write. Can I put of the sequel to That Kind of Magic until then? Or there's that young adult I wanted to write (well, more than one) or the next in the Sweet Forever series. So many options. One thing is for sure, I won't run out of ideas anytime soon!Labels: galley editing, Nanowrimo, reviews |

| New Website |
I've been unhappy with my website for a very long time. A)it's boring to look at. There's absolutely no wow factor at all. And B)I have no idea how to fix it up. I'm sure if I sit down with a book for dummies and my husband telling me what to do, I could figure it out over time. But I have neither the book or the time to sit down.
So I decided to take a different direction and try a new program. Weebly.
I solved one problem. I have no problem setting things up on this program. It's basically a drag and drop program that my ten year old could do. I have up to 6 pages I can work with, which seems enough.
Problem is it's still kind of boring.
But I have all the links and book info up on it and I can add whenever I want instead of waiting for DH to do it.
So, what I have to do now is work on graphics and see if I can give it that wow factor that way. Maybe I can load a new background too. There is a way to work with html as well.
And I have a new blog there too.
So, check out my new website at www.cerihebert.com and give my new blog a try. I'm hoping that this will work out, though I'm keeping my options open. Could be something better out there!
And thanks to Marianne for the offer of help. You may regret it :)Labels: new website |

| So Much To Do |
I'm making my To Do List:
~Work on website-okay, I've had this on my list for a very very long time. Problem is, I have no clue how to do it myself. I used to be able to make websites with no problem-back in the Geocities Homestead days. I think I had about 5 different pages then. But it was so much simpler. Nowadays, I'm lost. Luckily my husband knows how to put them together, but our time is very limited. Besides, I want the site to go through a complete overhaul. It's very vanilla right now. I want something more stunning.
~Hold contest to celebrate my release of Best Man from Sapphire Blue Publishing, so please STAY TUNED!
~work on a book video, or at least gathering pictures and music and then turning to the experts over at Goddess Fish Promotions because they know what they're doing and have done some really good book videos.
~As soon as I receive them, work on the galley changes for my upcoming The Wild Rose Press release That Kind of Magic.
~Brainstorm for a sequel to TKOM. My editor asked me yesterday if she was going to get a story for one of the secondary characters in that book. I've been tossing the idea around but now I have to get serious about it.
I'm sure there's much more to do. School is in and kids are starting to get involved in school activities, so that'll keep me hopping.
I'll keep a blank sheet of paper handy to add to the aboveLabels: Best Man, Sapphire Blue Publishing, That Kind Of Magic, The Wild Rose Press, to do list |
