Lynda Kaye Frazier, USA Today Best Selling Author

Now that Rescued from the Dark will become a published dream for me I have been wondering about marketing myself. I’ve looked at self marketing lists and feel like I have a solid beginning. I just need to blog more, tweet more, update facebook more often and so on. I’m just not sure I’m getting my name out to any new contacts. Not that I’m dissing old friends and fellow authors, I love all of you, and your support has been awesome. Ok, now with that said I’m pondering what my next step should be. Should I venture into Pintrist, Linkedin? (Not sure if I spelled them right or what they are, but some of my friends love them) Should I do an author page on Amazon? I don’t have a book, yet, so I haven’t even ventured there. I love blog hops. I love meeting new authors, I love the theme’s of the different hops and just the all around fun you have getting it together with others. I have had success with all of them except the last one, and I blame that on myself.   I ha...

     My Journey continues…with a contract!   Yes I said it, I got a contract with Back Opal Books. You should see this old woman dancing around her kitchen right now. Ok, maybe you shouldn’t.   :}        I received the e-mail last week and was too afraid to close it. I thought it would go away and turn out to be just a dream, but it didn’t. I read it over and over. Then went to bed and read it again the next morning, still checking to see if it was real. I know overkill, but I’m a skeptic.   I finally figured out it was, so I responded back and within a week I had a contract in my hand.   I think I’ll frame it, dumb I know. But it’s my first.      So my journey continues with all the events that will take place to get my dream into a real book.     So have a glass of the bubbly with me to celebrate. I am going to send back my signed copy today and then get ready for the real journey to beg...

My Grandmother would dress us up and put on our matching hats to wear to Mass. Those hats stayed in our laps, on the floor or in our mouthes more than on our heads. I loved how prety they were, but hated to wear them. I was such a tom boy. Now it is one of my happiest memories about my Grandmother.  Going to Mass with the family. My Grandmother was from Ireland and going to Church was something that we ...

  It has been 18 months since I started my journey to become a published author. I remember waking up after an amazing dream, and knowing I had to write it down, and it spiraled from there. I wrote what I thought was a great story. My family loved it, and my close friends thought it was amazing. I was pumped with all there encouragement, so I sent out letters and my synopsis to three publishers, they all asked for the full manuscript.   I was dancing all over the house, calling everyone, telling them the good news. Well within a week I heard back with three wonderful long letters about how good the story concept was, but I needed work. I didn’t know how to write. I never knew there was a process, or a concept. I thought you had a thought and you wrote it down. How wrong I was. I spent over a year taking classes and workshops improving my writing ability, and understanding the Basic English concepts. I hate comma’s still, and tenses still confuse me, sometimes. It’s been a long...
