marketing my book

I tried to get the form letter from muse pub to go on myblog.I think I got it, anyway it said it was successful. My grandson, robert came up from Phoenix and gave me a few pointers on the computer. Thank god for grown-up grandsons! My novel, Jeri Bittle by my alias J. Rose Knight was released Friday. I do so hope some people will buy it. I had fun writing it. Now I'm writing a sequel. You can find out how to buy the book by acessing htpp//museituppub or by going to publisher@museituppublishing.com Be sure to ask for Jeri Bittle by J. Rose Knight

Thinking of getting another blog

My grandaughter suggested I get a new blog for my psuedynom, J. Rose Knight. I think its a good idea. We'll have to get together by computer as she lives in the middle of South Dakota and I live in Havasu AZ I'm working on my sequel to Jeri Bitle. My group The Four Goddesses is meeting tonight at Denny's. They are reviewing the sequel as it is written. I haven't heard from the publisher concerning my newest submission. Snap Decisions. I hope they will accept it.

looking for publishers

I'm thinking I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. (I know, it isn't cool to use cliche`s) What I mean is I have two more novels ready to go. I submitted another one to Muse, but haven't heard yet. I think they are very busy. My novel, Jeri Bittle will be released on April 12, e-line only. I went through my submission opportunities folder and found that most of the publishers are either no longer taking submissions or are out of business I may bite the bullet and submit to Harlequin again. (It took them six months to reject the last one I sent them.) Is that good or bad? I really like Musepub. they edit, and suggest changes, and promote the book. I guess I'm just anxious to get my books out there. My sequel to Jeri Bittle has hit a wall. Got the prologue and three chapters. I''m sitting here thinkin, "Now what?" there are so many directions I could take it. romance? Mystery? aliens from outer space? guess I better sleep on it. Goodnight

Busy, Busy

Went to a granddaughter's wedding in Denver last week-end. It was beautiful came home to company from SD. Got my manuscript back from the publisher with a work sheet to proof-read one more time. I haven't been able to find much time, but am about one-half way through. It has been edited by me several times and the line editor several times and the context editor several times and the publisher at least once.
This is the final time before it goes to print and so far I have found six errors.!!
Now have more company from San Jose and Milton Freewater Oregon. (relatives, glad to see them. )they went to PHoenix to spend the night with their grandson. I almost went with them, but have to go to the goddesses meeting tonight and must get this novel fixed and sent back. Also need to get color ink and photo paper to down-load wedding pix my daughter in law sent on the computer.

And people ask me what I do now that I'm retired!!!

My novel

My book is to be released in April Yea! It will be by museitup publishing co and ezine only.
I will tell you all the details later. The name of the book is Jeri Bittle
She is a Wyoming rancher's wife. She drives on I-80 west as she returns from Gillette after visiting her ailing father.

Events occur that change her life forever.
An attempt is made on her life, but she survives. Her husband is killed and she knows someone wants her dead. but who? and why? She struggles to provide for her three-year-old twins.

The old county sheriff and his wife support and encourage her, but things in the county are not what they seem.

How old is too Old/

I mostly lurk at my groups e-mails, but one got my attention this morning. It seems the authors group is having a conference in Montreal next November. I almost signed up, and then I thought, Are you crazy?
I would be with utter strangers, sharing a room with a stranger, in Montreal (where is Montreal?)
I would love to meet my editors, Nancy and Penny, and the publisher, Lea, and all the others. But I'll be 79 in May. would have to save up my money, and talk my better half into accepting my plan. what do you think?

WHAT TO DO NOW?

I just got an e-mail from my publishing company offering to reverse my rights as neither book has sold in the last year.
However, they want 149.00 per book. That is 298.00.
I can leave them there for the remainder of the contract (four years) if I would prefer.
I would like to get the rights to them back and after revising, submit them to another publishing company.
The reason they haven't sold is that I have to buy the books from them and sell them on my own.I can't afford to buy them. I have sold to all my friends and relatives. Book Signings have not worked for me. They charge too much for the books.
Thank you to those who commented on my last blog I am using your suggestions on how to remember my ideas for writing.
