Just had to brag that my first book, which I published with Author House, was ranked at 16,866 on Amazon yesterday. I was so psyched! That is my lowest rating ever, surpassing my last best score of 21,000.

Congratulations Sigrid! What a great feeling!!!!

I too published my book from Authorhouse. I have been really happy with them thus far. In fact, I am supposed to receive my first "complimentary" copy in today's mail.

Can't wait!

Teresa

Congratulations, Sigrid!

Sigrid, congrats! Keep spreading the word....Enthusiasm goes a long way.

Way to go Sigrid! And yes, by all means brag away! I sent your link to my sister and she was so appreciative!

Go girl!

Congrats, Sigrid! Way to go!

Congrats from me too. I hope to have those kind of numbers too! But a few more "labor pains" to go through until I get there. Right now need to give my graphic artist for the cover a little kick to get finished. Here's to movin' on up the list! Karen

Hey, gals - Thanks everyone :-)

It's a great feeling to see some of those marketing efforts finally paying off. Writing is fun for me but promoting is hard work!

Teresa, Very brave of you to have written about your ordeal. I checked out your web site and it looks fantastic. I would be happy to link to your page since your book is related to one of the main themes in D'Amour Road. I tackle unrequited love as well as involvements with abusive men... How did you like your complimentary copy? Hope that it met with your approval.

Jaw Jaw, So nice of you to spread the word about my hip book. I can't remember if your sister had the surgery yet or if she's still waiting but I hope that she "gets hip" soon!

Karen, You sound very close to completion. That's exciting! I have established a link to your site on my D'Amour Road blog. Can't wait to see the final product.

Sigrid and Teresa,
Congratulations on your books by Authorhouse. I am sure they will be successful, after all we are boomer women and have much to impart to this world.

I have thought about publishing with Authorhouse, but didn't know how it would all work out. Please let me know how it all goes. Do you like your books looks and feel from them? They contacted me first about possibly publishing with them, but I am not sure so would appreciate your input. Thanks.
