Purchase link Today's thank you goes to author Cynthia Sax.  When we started SmexyFabFour and I mentioned it to her she took a chance on us  on something that was very important to her. Yeah every release is important to an author but this one was with her new publisher Avon and she wanted to do especially well.  It was for her Seen Trilogy and after reading it I knew this would be career changing for Cynthia and it couldn't happen to a better  person. Cynthia has published with many e-publishers including Changeling Press and Ellora's Cave. Her stories are range from Warlords to Vampires to Bunny shifters. Yes bunny shifters. Each book of hers has gotten better with each release but I have been seeing a big change in her writing over the last year. When she told me about her big break I couldn't have been more excited. I was bursting to tell but promised I would keep quiet until all the ts had been crossed on the contracts. I swear I was screaming probably as

Each Friday we are going to give a special shout out to the authors who have helped us get SmexyFabFour started. We decided on Milly Taiden because without her there wouldn't be a SmexyFabFour. The four of us met when Milly first started her street team. I had been friends with Milly for awhile and she kept talking about Jennifer,  Iris and Sheri. Well she finally introduced us and we clicked immediately. I even warned Milly that she made a huge mistake introducing us. While working with Milly and promoting her books and  putting on fun release parties when a new book would be released, we realized how much fun we had working together and had been urged by people to start our own service. So one day in June we decided to go for it.  I first discovered Milly when a friend recommended her and I read Mr Buff which was written under her April Angel pen name and I became hooked. I soon inhaled everything she wrote.   Not only does she write hot erotic contemporaries under

Intentional Book Blitz MK Harkins Ten things I didn't know about self-publishing   I will admit, I knew absolutely zero (nothing!) about self publishing when I started this adventure :)  I will narrow it down to ten. 1.) It was easier than I thought. I googled my way to Createspace 2.) Createspace is like a well-oiled machine. I was assigned a publishing consultant, John Schuster (great publisher name!)  he organized all my orders with the various departments.  If I had a question, he would answer within 24 hours. 3.) I was able to accomplish everything I needed at CreateSpace (I started with an editorial evaluation, moved to choosing a book cover and ended with a copyedit) 4.) When you self publish, there is a lot of self promotion involved. I joined twitter, Goodreads and made an author facebook page. 5.) Everyone wants to be your friend on facebook! 6.) I've met some wonderful authors and bloggers through the social media (mostly facebook) 7.
