I'm not quite sure how to do all this, but I think this is the website for you to hit "Like" for 'Joy in the Mourning" at bottom of this page - http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000000314966/ and it is also availableto preview on Amazon.com @ http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Esther+Joy+Grusing+Hunter

At 4:45pm on April 20, 2011, Ellie Schatz said…: Caren, It looks like you are into a number of things of which I am either not acquainted or unsure of the benefits. For example, what is Smashwords and how does it work? Also, I have not yet gone with amazon.com as it seems to me that it will yield me little to no monetary benefit. Did you self-publish by establishing your own company (which is what I did) or go the ebook/publish on demand route?

At 4:44pm on April 20, 2011, Liz Yardley said…: Hallo Caren,

Thank you for your friendly message. I am brand new to this site.

I've been to your website & 'liked' it. What a beautiful covershot!

If you wish to like mine, please could you use the www.fireflylegacy.com site (or both)? Thank you.

As for reviews, please let me know which format is preferred? I generally send 1 or 2 chapters (pdf) to interested writers, or a full hardcopy (with a request to pass the book along to a school, library, senior or child) if requested. You might wonder why I include seniors above; it's because the series was partly written for uplifting their role in the community. And I've found that they really enjoy them too.

best wishes,

Liz

I'd love to trade reviews. The website page for my book is http://www.selfhelpforcats.com and my FB page is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Who-Moved-My-Mouse/135056686545391. There's a free portion of my first chapter on my website.

What's your experience been with Smashwords? I'm looking to use them to Kindle-ize my first book, which was self-published.

I would be interested in doing that. I'm finishing up a review for a friend of mine. Another person who wanted to trade review hasn't sent me her book yet. So I should have some time to read yours over this coming weekend. If you read Tim's book, my book isn't as sports heavy. It is more about journalism than sports - even though sports is the backdrop to it all. Though sports fans would be interested in it, I think non sports fans would like it - and the people I know that have read it and are not sports fans enjoyed it and learned a lot about the job. It is also a quick read. You wouldn't have to read all the game stories and attached articles to some of the chapters - even though some of the articles are worth reading. So you can email me your book if you want and I can email you a PDF of mine. Thanks.

I briefly read some of your writing and enjoyed what I found, and could provide a short review. Although I did not grow up owning a dog, I have been able to relate to your writing. Where would you like me to post the review?

At 8:53pm on April 9, 2011, Michael D. Waterhouse said…: I am going to tell my friends about your book,I know my brother would love it!

At 12:36am on April 1, 2011, Tracy L. Conway said…: And I thank you. I will definately get back with you when things settle down and I have time to relax over a new book. I look forward to the trade!

At 4:15pm on March 31, 2011, Erica M Nelson said…: Hi Caren! What do you write about?

At 9:31pm on November 28, 2010, Tracy L. Conway said…: Hi Caren! Your situation sounds similar to mine! I worked to finish my book nonstop once I lost my job. Looking forward to perusing your website! This is mine in case you may want to take a look: www.tracyconway.com Thanks!
