A couple of things. The IWSG is now offering merchandise, so be sure to visit the Merchandise Page and check it out.
The winners of last fall anthology have started a group blog to tell the world about their upcoming book. Visit Hero Lost: Mysteries of Death and Life and see what the group is sharing.
We have a couple of new administrators for the IWSG, who you probably know. Please welcome C. Lee McKenzie and Heather M. Gardner.
This month, I'm not feeling insecure because along with seven (7) other authors we released a Valentine boxed set in which each story features a pet. The set did very well yesterday and underscores the value of group promotion. As the song says, No man is an island, no man stands alone. So happy to be a part of that experience.
Here's hoping you aren't feeling insecure about your writing today, but if you are, don't give in because everything worth anything takes time to achieve and there's no time limit on success.
Please check out our boxed set. It's a great price at $0.99. http://books2read.com/vpk2

What an adorable idea for a collection! Lots of great stuff happening with the IWSG. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine, it was fun putting it together.
DeleteFantastic idea for an anthology--just bought it! Eager to see which pet you wrote about. After my cat died at almost 17 years old, I haven't gotten a new pet but I do love my doggie nephew.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I can understand not wanting to replace a pet you've had that long. Thanks for supporting us.
DeleteAwesome to hear the book sold well on its release!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex. People seem to like these kinds of stories.

Pets are such great Valentines day gifts :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the IWSG for all the expansions.
Hi, J.L. Congratulations on your Valentine box set. Somewhere on my IWSG rambles today, a member had a link to trends in publishing, and the article discussed group book sets and group marketing, also writing that was tied into the calendar in some way, like your Valentine collection. So you're right out there riding the wave of a current trend. All the best with your collection.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the sweet box set! I know it's be a labor of love.
ReplyDeleteIt suits my romantic heart and my love of animals. Win win!
ReplyDeleteAwww---what a sweet idea for Valentine's Day!Best wishes on your boxed set of stories!
