‘Janice has made it her business to get stuck into the whole self-publishing malarkey. Savvy enough to realise it’s not enough to simply write, she’s studied social media marketing until it could be her specialist subject on Mastermind. She can plan a book launch, maximise publicity, keep the momentum going after the first initial flush, and perhaps most of all, she knows how to make the whole thing fun, which is no mean feat.’ DG Life Magazine.

I’m grateful to DG Life magazine for the generous endorsement that I’ve used as a foreword to this book, although I’m not sure I’m entirely happy about being called a specialist in online marketing. It doesn’t sound like very much fun, does it? I think I’d much prefer to be known as an enthusiast in online partying, which is perhaps closer to the truth and certainly is lots of fun!

I’ve always enjoyed a party – in the real world I’m often first up on the dance floor. In the virtual world, I’m there too, having fun and celebrating my own and everyone else’s successes. But when I’m not dancing around or swigging back virtual champagne, I’m a writer sitting alone in my writer’s cave and when I eventually emerge with a completed manuscript, having worked really hard through many drafts, rewrites and edits, I always feel the need to kick back and celebrate.

I’ve heard it said by other writers that the real work begins once the book is written, but I think that’s when all the fun starts. A book launch for me is not a formal affair – it’s an excuse to have a party – and it has been noted, mostly by people who have attended my online parties, how each party has boosted my online sales and indeed produced bestsellers. As a result, I’ve developed a bit of a reputation as an online party organiser and this has led to other writers asking me how I do it, and if I can I help them to do it too.

So here it is: my step by step guide on how I organise my online ‘virtual’ parties. I hope you enjoy reading it and that you glean something from it; not least how not to become a specialist in online marketing but an enthusiast in online partying!

How To Party Online:

• Online parties are a fabulous and fun way to launch your book or introduce your product and to engage with your target audience.

• Social media applications are perfect forums for parties – the venue capacity is infinite, the guest list is global, and the fun and games can lead to bestselling success

• This book aims to show you how you can produce measurable results from your very first online party while you are still working towards building up your social network.

• The purpose of this book is to walk and talk you through each step of the planning and implementation of four very different online promotional parties.

• We will look at how much work and effort is involved in implementing each step and we will experience the party format, explore the outcomes, and quantify all the successes.

• And I’ll show you how to make it lots of fun!

Some comments about Janice Horton’s online parties from the party peeps themselves:

“I loved the parties because of the amazing fun and laughs - even if some of us ended up in twitter jail!”

“I liked the ways in which you involved others during these parties. They were great fun.”

“Absolutely LOVE your blog parties!”

“The idea of having us post photos was brilliant in that it set up a series of interactions between lots of the different people who came – some of whom I’d never ‘met’ before.”

“Love how you come up with such innovative ideas for each one.”

“Great fun!

“The party was a blast! I loved it.”

“It was great being a part of something that involved so many different blogs. It was very unique and totally engaging!”

“I took part in the online party. What I enjoyed about it was reading all the other blogs that took part – everyone had something different.”

“You have held some really fun and fab parties Janice. All have been great to join in!”

“I’ve been to all of them and it would be difficult to pick out a favourite.”

“What I think worked was that they were all different and each had an element of surprise.”

“Asking ‘guests’ to do something specific ensured personal involvement – key to the success of any ‘virtual’ event.”

“I enjoyed all your parties, Janice.”

“The (party) was a lesson in how it should be done.”

“A book of hints and tips is a great idea. Good luck with it!”

I fell in love with the south of France over forty years ago and the older I get, the stronger those feelings become. The reason the love grows, you may ask … and if you don’t, please indulge me, … is this: the older we get, the more time we have to travel and for me that has meant returning often to la belle France.

Without the demands of raising families or toiling in our chosen fields of work, if we are fortunate, there is often more time to plan trips and spend extended stays exploring, learning, or simply relaxing in a different environment.

Add that to your list if you are keeping track of the benefits to aging! Is there somewhere special you would, or do, choose to go?

Through the last ten years, my husband and I have spent as much time as possible in France through home exchanges or renting – whatever worked best for us at the time. Our longest stay was 5 months in Antibes in 2010 and we are busy planning a return to that extraordinary setting.

This year we have an exchange arranged next door to Antibes in Nice, our second favourite town.

It was just a matter of time before I wrote a novel set in the south of France. I’ve been taking notes for years, dreaming about it, and finally got myself into the writing trenches to make it happen. I’m pleased and proud to announce that The Promise of Provence is now available as an ebook and the paperback version should be available in a week or two.

Here’s  a quick look at the story:

Surprise, shock, and a shift in life as she knows it come into Katherine Price’s world at a time when it is least expected. The future she imagined suddenly vanishes. Life seems to hold little prospect beyond her career and the caregiving her elderly widowed mother might require.

Fate has other plans for Katherine.

June in Provence is full of promise when Katherine arrives from Canada, eager to feel renewed by her surroundings. Endless rows of lavender prepare to burst into pink and purple blooms. Fields of sunflowers flow in golden waves among vineyards and olive groves. Ancient hilltop villages beckon. It’s the postcard setting she envisioned, but is that all she needs?

After a year of heartbreak, Katherine has impulsively agreed to a home exchange in the south of France. Colorful locals, a yellow lab named Picasso, and the inspiring beauty of the countryside breathe new life into her days.

Seeking to shed the pain of betrayal and loss, she struggles to recapture her joie de vivre and searches for the answer to a haunting question: is it too late to begin again?

An enduring story of hope and change in life’s later years is woven through the author’s love-letter to France. Like a well-travelled friend, Patricia Sands welcomes you into a world she loves and entices you to linger. Exploring narrow cobblestone lanes in historic villages, strolling broad boulevards through Paris or reveling in the magic of the sun-kissed Mediterranean coast of the Côte d’Azur, you are right there with her.

In this coming-of-age (in her 50′s) transitional tale, universal feelings of loss, fear, love and trust are explored in breathtaking surroundings. Come along on the journey!

“Be prepared to fall in love with Provence! This is a story that will draw you in with its vibrancy in setting and characters. A must read for any woman with a desire for romance and travel.” Steena Holmes, author of Amazon bestseller Finding Emma

The first novel in my ‘Cold War’ trilogy, The Red Effect, published by SilverWood Books, is now available. Thoroughly enjoyed writing it, as i do with all my novels. There will be three books in total, covering the hypothetical invasion of West Germany, the Federal Republic of Germany, by the Warsaw Pact in the mid 1980?s. Book 1, ‘The Red Effect’, encompasses part of the intelligence build up leading to the initial Warsaw Pact strike against the NATO forces lined up against them.

1983: The Cold War has been in existence since the end of World War Two. Although tensions have always been fraught between the Western nations and the members of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact, common sense has prevailed. Until, as a consequence of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, the shooting down of a Korean passenger aircraft in 1983, and the relentless build up of Soviet military strength, everything is about to change. In a panoramic novel, readers travel from centres of power to the front lines – a war is brewing and events are happening at every angle. Is the Cold War about to turn hot? Can NATO forces endure a mass strike by thousands of Soviet tanks? Can the West survive? Follow the series of gripping events that culminated in ‘The Red Effect’, in the first instalment of Harvey Black’s The Cold War trilogy.

.

Berlin, the centre, where the Cold War forces fought a hidden battle. The Berlin Wall, like the Iron Curtain, separating East from West.

.

The peoples of the Eastern European countries were oppressed by their own regimes.

.

Under constant surveillance by their Internal security and police. But, the Warsaw Pact governments saw the West as a threat, a force that could snatch away the power they held over their own people. Their economies were under great strain and the Soviet Union could no longer sustain spending 20% of their GDP on their military. There was only one option. War!

The Red Effect, the day the Cold War turned Hot.

I have also written a WW2 series, the Devils with Wings. Devils with Wings, devils with Wings: Silk Drop and Devils with Wings: Frozen Sun available now.

When all is lost, he will have to make the ultimate decision.

Kellen St. James was just your average seventeen-year-old prodigy, until he eighty-sixed the Lord of Faerie and proposed to the Celtic Goddess, Calienta. But then everything in Kellen’s life gets turned upside-down when he and Cali end up on the run from a seriously irritated group of faeries. The worst part? They have zero idea why they’re being hunted.

Suddenly, Kellen is stuck in the middle of another prophecy that foresees him turning away from Calienta and embracing the dark. He’ll be forced to take sides in a struggle to claim his birthright, while discovering secrets about his father’s past. Meanwhile, his passion for Cali grows stronger, even as the prophecy threatens to tear them apart.

In the end, will Kellen and Cali survive the fates? When the ultimate power is within reach, which side will he choose?

About the Book

Stephanie says: There are three books in The Star Child series and The Fallen Stars was probably my favorite to write. I was able to continue to weave in Celtic mythology, but also add local folklore, like legend of the caretaker at Compass Harbor. It just flowed and I had the best time.

Remains of the Old Farm caretaker house at Compass Harbor

Stephanie says: For those that enjoyed the Irish location in The Star Child, The Fallen Stars begins there, but takes place in Bar Harbor, Maine. If you’re wondering how we ended up there, it’s a bit of a long story and I don’t want to give you any spoilers. So read on to find out!

A Musical Connection

Imagine finding out that there’s a popular rock band with the same name as your book! Then you find out that they are not only seriously cool and incredibly talented, but they also endorsed you on their website when they don’t even read your genre! That’s what happened to Stephanie Keyes after the release of her book trailer for The Fallen Stars. Read on to learn more about this amazing group, The Fallen Stars!

Few musical partnerships are as lucky as Bobbo and Tracy Byrnes. Happily married for over a decade, they’ve been writing and performing music together for just as long. In the autumn of 2000 they moved from Boston, Massachusetts to Southern California and shortly thereafter founded one of Orange County’s leading Americana Rock bands, The Fallen Stars. Blending rock and roll energy, country-flavored instrumentation and folk-inspired story-telling, The Fallen Stars have carved out a niche in the Southern California scene all their own. Their fourth and latest album, Heart Like Mine, features sixteen tracks of “stellar country roots rock” according to Vintage Guitar Player Magazine. “With a tight rhythm section backing him, Byrnes unreels hot licks with thick tone, laying down an album of originals that are catchy and cool.”

Stephanie says: It always amazes me, the connections and friendships that I’ve been able to form and maintain through social media – particularly in the case of The Fallen Stars band.  They are a great group that I’ve been privileged to meet. I’ve enjoyed the experience so much, that I’ll be giving one of their CDs away as part of my giveaway.

Giveaway

Sounds like a great tie in to the giveaway. Tell us about it!

Stephanie says: I’ve included the standard signed books and ebooks, but I also wanted to make this giveaway personal to the book. So I’ve giving away a star pendant and chain, as well as a Maine Blueberry gift set from the restaurant that inspired the diner in The Fallen Stars. Of course, I’m also giving out a copy of The Fallen Stars CD from my new friends out west.

About Anneli Purchase

Vancouver Island author, Anneli Purchase, has published her third novel. From “The Wind Weeps” set in the wilds of the BC coast, to “Orion’s Gift” set in Baja, Purchase now takes us to postwar Europe in “Julia’s Violinist.”

Imagine yourself growing up in a rural town, expecting a normal happy life, when war shatters all your hopes and dreams. You are 32 and widowed with two small children. Like thousands of your fellow Sudetenlanders, you’ve been driven out of your country and strangers have taken your home and all your possessions. You survive their brutal lust for revenge for Hitler’s mistreatment of them, survive the harsh conditions of refugee camps, survive disease and starvation. All you want is a return to the contented days of the past, but it is not to be. Once transported across the German border, you try to pick up the pieces of your shattered life and remarry, perhaps more for security than for love.

You’ve just begun the arduous task of rebuilding your life in war-torn Germany, when the young man you loved more than twenty years ago writes to tell you he has been searching everywhere for you. He still loves you and wants you to come to him. Such is Julia’s dilemma when her husband hands her the letter with the Canadian postmark.

What would you do? Find out what Julia did. Read “Julia’s Violinist” and see the world through Julia’s eyes.

***

Five-star review by Darlene Jones

I had the good fortune to read Julia’s Violinist before publication. One woman’s struggle to survive and protect her children in the aftermath of WWII is a war story with a difference. In her novel, Purchase focuses on Julia’s determination and her strength of will. Despite all that she endures, she is a survivor. It’s Julia who holds her family together during the horror of reprisals and the deprivation of deportation and internment.
But Julia’s Violinist is above all a story of love–for children, parents, siblings and the three men in her life. You will cry for Julia, you will root for Julia, you will cheer for Julia, and above all you will come to love Julia.
This is not just one woman’s story, but the story of many women, any one of whom it would be an honor and a privilege to know.

You might wonder why I’m talking about shoes! Well, today’s the launch day of my latest romantic novel, Security and for me it’s a slight change of style.

Contemporary romance in general is just like my favourite pair of cowboy boots. Comfy, trusty, always what I expect, never lets me down. But sometimes there’s a little niggle that perhaps they’re just too cosy, too routine…safe. Writers get a great boost from trying something different. So, today I’ve slipped on a pair of Blahniks and changed the style a little, side-stepping into the realms of romantic suspense. Glamorous, racy, aches a little, might need plasters by the end.

I don’t want anyone to think this isn’t a Mandy Baggot novel though. It’s romance through and through and there’s my humour I know you all love. But it’s spiced with drama, action and those plot twists I like to keep you on your toes with!

My novels always start with my characters and it’s how they develop that makes the story one thing or another. Some of my novels are very much verging on romantic comedy, others are chick-lit, but it’s the characters who decide that. And this time Autumn Raine and Nathan Regan are very much my romantic thriller/suspense couple.

So, it’s off with the boots, on with the Blahniks and let’s enter pop singer Autumn’s celebrity world…before the terrorists come for her.

Here’s the blurb:-

Autumn Raine is a pop vocalist at the very top of her game. She’s a style icon, the paparazzi’s darling and everyone wants to be her friend. But when her safety is threatened, her whole life starts to unravel.

Enter Nathan Regan, an ex-elite soldier who is assigned to protect her. He’s a good man doing bad things but what drives him? Passion? Madness? Or grief? Demons from his past are threatening to consume him. Can he win the fight alone or will he have to admit he needs help?

As the threat deepens, Autumn starts to find out who she really needs in her life. Is there still room for personal assistant Janey or rapper boyfriend Rockweiler? When everyone around her is feeding her lies, how does she work out the truth? Does her record producer know more than he’s letting on? What is her mother, the British Foreign Secretary’s involvement in the situation? And can Autumn put her faith in a forty-something Jamaican woman who handles an automatic weapon as expertly as she cooks?

Eluding kidnap and trying to stay alive, can Autumn find the strength to be the person she longs to be? And can two people, poles apart, forge something strong enough to survive anything?

Emma Calin introduces ESCAPE TO LOVE the third in her

five-part urban story collection 

Escape To Love is a gritty suspense/romance set in a harsh urban environment.  A novelette of 10,500 words it is available for e-readers such as Kindle and others, via Amazon Apps.  

Emma says: I am delighted that short stories and novelettes are becoming popular again as they are my favourite form of writing.  They require immense discipline and are challenging to create since every word has to count.  I spend a lot of time paring back to expose the core of the story.  In fact, I spend an inordinate amount of time on each sentence and paragraph of a short story compared to a full length novel.  As many famous folk are reputed to have said, in apology mostly for their letter writing, “I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter”.  

Click here to watch ESCAPE TO LOVE book trailer:  http://youtu.be/eUxzzHaN8fA

As with the first two short stories in the series, this e-book comes with a FREE 80 minute MP3 audiobook –  you have the  choice of reading the book or listening to the narration recorded by Emma Calin.

Emma says: I am a firm believer in the oral tradition of story telling and I love audiobooks.  There is something special about hearing a story read aloud.  I was particularly excited about Escape To Love as it is the first of the series to have a female POV, which  meant I could narrate the book myself.  I have to say I did not realise just how hard this would be.  The final recorded book is just one hour and twenty minutes long but it took me around ten hours with rehearsing, re-takes (coughs, stomach rumbles, paper shuffles etc.).   Here is a clip from the first chapter to whet your appetite…

Description:

Even in the barren wasteland of urban decay new green life is possible. In Nature and in Love, that which can be, somehow finds a crack, a corner or ledge and grasps its chance of life.

A woman on the run from domestic violence with no one but her vulnerable autistic teenage child as a companion, lives in isolation and fear. While her hand to mouth scenarios are played out in the shadow of a threatening suspense, a story of crime and love unfolds around her. She cannot risk her child. Her own longings for love and romance have to take a poor second place. When the fallout from a prison break, a hero rescue and a murder mystery crash through her door and into her need and loneliness, it is no longer a crime story. It is a question of when Love in itself is a crime and how far a woman will go in its name and for those she loves.

Five Star Review from Sheryl Browne

Described as an urban suspense-novelette, Escape to Love is just that. And it delivers. The `hero’ is this book is an escaped prisoner on the run. Can such a person truly be a hero? Does the ultimate act of heroism in a mother’s eyes make him a hero? Maybe not immediately, a mother’s instincts are always to protect her child, so would she/could she let such a man into her life and into her heart? Women’s instincts play a part, too, in this gripping story of love and trust. Maria, in a way, is also on the run, living a hand-to-mouth existence on a low income. Trying to escape poverty and violent past relationship, her priority in life now is her special needs child. I was intrigued by the dilemma this book presented. I wondered whether the author could pull it off. The story is in the telling. I won’t spoil it by telling more. Suffice to say I was sold and would definitely recommend it. I liked the juxtaposition between the working class heroine and the well-to-do hero, which presented love with more of a challenge. Why not get a flavour of the book and take a ‘look inside’ on Amazon? I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Full marks, too, to Emma Calin for making this available as an Audio book, giving the reader an alternative reading pleasure – and, of course, catering for those with sight impairment. For interest, my adult son and partner also read and enjoyed this book.

ESCAPE TO LOVE joins SUB-PRIME and THE CHOSEN as  the third in a five-part series. Book four, a short story  - ANGELA,  is due for release at the end of March 2013. The final book another novelette, the title book for the series: LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE is coming in early April 2013.

Emma Calin was born in London in 1962. She currently lives part of the year in the UK and spends the rest in France.  She has been writing since childhood and has won numerous local, national and international prizes for poetry and short stories.

Emma enjoys writing love stories firmly rooted in social realism.  She blogs about the contrasts in life on both sides of the English Channel, which she likes to explore on her tandem whenever weather and fitness coincide. She is a Lifestyle Contributor on Loveahappyending Lifestyle.

She defines herself as woman eternally pedalling between Peckham and Pigalle, in search of passion and enduring romance.

Friday 1st March is Launch Day for the second book in Janice Horton’s Voodoo Romance Trilogy for Amazon Kindle

‘Voodoo Wedding’

The Voodoo Romance stories are a series of humorous chick-lit style romance novellas. At 20,000 words or around 70 pages, they are a perfect length for that train journey, a short flight, or the daily commute.

Janice says: These stories were inspired by a journey. I was on a flight from the Caribbean that had originated in Port au Prince, Haiti, when I witnessed a lively spat between two female passengers. At the same time as one of the women put a ‘curse’ on the other, my imagination went into overdrive, and the storyline for ‘How Do You Voodoo?’ was born!

‘How Do You Voodoo?’ was published towards the end of 2012 and was chosen by Love Reading Love Books as one of their Top Reads for 2102. It was also an Amazon Bestseller.

As a writer, it seemed a good idea to write a single novella between full length novels, but my readers told me they wanted to know more about what happened between the main character Nola and her gorgeous voodoo ‘witch doctor’ Louis, and so ‘Voodoo Wedding’ came along. The third part in the story ‘Voodoo Child’ will be available later in the year.

Both novellas are now available from Amazon for Kindle at just £1 or $1.50 each.

I do enjoy a launch party celebration and today (Friday 1^st March) over on Facebook and on Twitter, I’m hosting the Voodoo Wedding Launch Party. I’m asking party peeps to post a photo of their wedding dress, wedding shoes, handbags, wedding cakes, venues, in fact anything wedding related – and if you are unwed then why not have some fun and post a picture of your idea of a perfect wedding dress? Feel free to go as quirky or as bridal couture as you wish on the Facebook Event Page or on Twitter using the Hashtag #voodoowedding.

There will be prize draws and wedding ‘favours’ for those participating and retweeting today.

So do pop over and join in the fun – it’s an open invitation!
