Kindle Scout Day 5: Good Memorial Day morning! Bless you and yours as we remember those who have fallen for our freedoms. Posting today’s stats–got more votes yesterday than on day 2! Okay, 64 votes, mostly from Facebook. Almost neck and neck between FB and the Kindle Scout page itself for where the votes came from. 11 hours of hotness yesterday for a total of 106 hours hot. Votes total has reached 670 and 24 days to go! If you’ve voted–THANKS! If you haven’t voted, here it is!

Saturdays stats:  25 days left.  95 of 96 hours in hot and trending. 606 total page views. 49 percent of my hits come from Kindle Scout directly, 51 percent come from external pages, largely my FB page.

So that is how it’s happening now! Thank you so much for voting for me. Here is the breakdown of each day’s votes:  Day 1, 378. Day 2, 87. Day 3, 56. Day 4, 85.

An aside, if you haven’t tried Martha Stewarts olive and cheese bread made in a cast iron pan, you’re missing out. It’s a bit of a process but so worth it. If you start today you can have this great bread for Memorial Day. Here’s the link:

See you tomorrow!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still hot. And at my age! 71 hours of hotness. 521 total page views. 26 days left before I change back into a pumpkin. Or…I could change back into one today if I don’t get enough votes to sustain my…hotness.

Here is how Amazon explains their program:  Amazon’s Kindle Scout is reader-powered publishing for new, never-before-published books. It’s a place where readers help decide if a book gets published. Selected books will be published by Kindle Press and receive 5-year renewable terms, a $1,500 advance, 50% eBook royalty rate, easy rights reversions and featured Amazon marketing.

Again, thanks to all who have voted. I would give you all an emoticon but I don’t know how to do that on this site.

Yesterday, however, wedding anniversary here. My husband hopped into bed and it broke right down the middle. We both went rolling to the valley in the center and had a good laugh. Not bad, breaking the bed after so many years!

All I could think was, “Save my laptop!” And…I did.

Here is a link for voting if you can find it in your big heart. Please help me win as I may need a new bed.

I wanted to share the experience of being interviewed by RRBC’s Mr. Bill Ward, yesterday. I was instructed to have a quiet environment for the radio interview. About an hour prior, the black clouds rolled in. I waited for the trumpet blast, signifying the end of the world, but it never came and the sky started to clear. Whew! Live to see another day…or do this interview! Hallelujah to both!

Oh, and I’m dog-sitting. And he’s a good quiet guy, except when we get a package and the mailwoman has to place the package on the porch in front of the window where Mr. Canine sits. He guards that porch, through the glass, like one of the hell hounds from Harry Potter. And there is no way to shut him up.

Sure enough, fifteen minutes before the interview went live, we got a freaking package and the dog lost its mind and that was that.

I called the New York number as instructed and a recording answered then Bill came on from Gloucester, England, and another author from Canada who was the backup author in the event I was a no show or as Bill put it, dropped dead.

But I didn’t. Drop dead. And the interview commenced. Mr. Bill’s partner came into where he was right before we went on and announced they had bought a horse. So Mr. Bill was the proud owner of a new horse…and we went live.

It was so much fun. Of course, you can hear for yourself how Mr. Bill was the most gracious host imaginable.

I wanted to give a shout out to his work. He writes thrillers:  Trafficking is Volume One of his trilogy. Here is the link to his work on Amazon.

27 hours hot

47 hours in hot and trending

I got a little less than 100 views yesterday but it was enough to keep me hot. Thanks to all who voted.

I have a long way to go. Like 27 more days. So if you can, please vote again. And thanks.

This morning is my interview with Bill Ward. I can go hours in the morning without speaking. When I do I can sound like I smoke two packs a day, and…non-smoker here. So my cat is staring at me, swatting at me with claws out while I recite the alphabet. I don’t want to scare Bill. Here is a link to the interview:

The other thing:

I posted my stats on FB this morning for the Kindle Scout program and my book Deep in the Heart of Me. Here they are again:

 

And here’s a little shout-out to Bill Ward:
