"4 Star Review"

Well guys, can you believe it. I got 4 stars on my book review. I am so happy! The review was great. I just want to update on the next steps of getting my book out there in the world. A crazy thing happened when I first got my first proof back, I shared it with the people at work and ordered copies to try to sell. Well, no one noticed the mistake on the cover where there was no "s" in woman's journey of self-discovery. It read dicovery, and no one noticed until later one of my editors called me and pointed it out to me. So, I had no idea what to do with those books, the truth is I just wanted to give them away, but thought that was a bad business decision. I am not a business woman what so ever. I decided to give them away to the staff at work that wanted to read them. I also ordered new books in hopes of trying to sell them. One day I was sitting at Dos Coyotes, and out of the blue I heard a voice that said give it to the woman sitting next to me, and I did. I told her I know this might sound crazy, but I am suppose to give this book to you. I asked her if she liked it to please pass it on. Crazy huh! People have just been coming up to me out of the blue asking me what am I reading and we just start talking about my book. My next step next week is sending out the press release to over 2000 media outlets, and I will get the list so I call follow up on the connections. I need your help, however, those of you who have read my book and like it, can you please go to Amazon.com and write a small review on it. I would appreciate it immensely. I hope you all have a great weekend and again thank you for all your support.

  1. Hi Lauren, I'm so excited for your 4 Star Review! I am going to purchase one. Do you want me to get it from you or go to Amazon? I've been going to Curves at various times so don't know when I'll see you. Congratulations!! Gherie
