    Default Need something to read? Buy my book!!!

    Most of you know I have mentioned writing. I write a lot. I've been writing stories my entire life and finally, I finished a book and was selling my soul to literary agents to see if anyone would represent me. Well, long story short ... I received numerous rejection letters and was just sort of feeling over the whole thing. But, then a friend saw an article about a woman who was rather self sufficient with her writings ... and had published them on her own through Amazon.

    So I did it.

    My book can now be found on Amazon as an e-book. Until tomorrow! I should have the paperback of both of my books as well as both e-books up tomorrow. If not, I'll update you when.

    If you have a Kindle, you can check it out now! Follow this link ... http://www.amazon.com/Mirror-Who-fai...s=nicole+grace

    I do hope that you will check it out. I'm very excited/nervous/anxious about what this all could mean. In this day and age, I feel people can go about their writing careers without an agent. I am very excited to get cracking on my third book to get that up there as well.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this!!!

    I've been looking for something new to read. Just ordered this. Can't wait! I admire you so. Inch for doing this. I've called myself a writer my whole life but have never written a novel or published a longer piece. I've written mostly very boring factual stuff like legal summaries.

    I'm so excited that this is all finally happening. I am grateful to Amazon for making this something I could achieve. I am actively working on a third project with a few others in the pipeline. It feels absolutely amazing to see my stuff out there!

    Thats fantastic Nikki,

    I haven't had a chance to log in to Amazon yet to see if they are available for Australia, but will definately do so.

    Just remember not to rush each project, and also to make sure that you have your health/sleep/fun under contol.

    Fifty shades of grey is a little raunchy even for me LOL. I wouldn't say my writing is quite as explicit as that.

    It's funny... Because I am not a huge fan of reading those type of books, but I like writing them. I like reading fantasy/science fiction but those type of books are difficult to write for me.

    Nicole, I wish you good luck! Hopefully you do well with the book. I have a fried who wrote a DIY type handbook and has made almost a years salary on it. Not worldwide famous or anything, but nothing to shake a stick at either.

    Amazon said that it will take 5 days for both books to be sent to Australia.

    I find that hard to believe, but we shall see - can't wait

    Carrie, I'm glad your books aren't as raunchy as 50 Shades. I'd like to read one if they are ever published. And Nikki, I've read the free excerpt of Mirror, Mirror on Amazon and found it to be quite readable. I encourage you both to keep going with it!
