Backing Up a Bit

 

Besides thanking Autumn and Irene for helping me, I also want to thank Jim Durkin, the co-founder of the Authors Marketing Group www.authorsmarketinggroup.org for having me work on the AMG website with Josslyn Christmas www.jacenterprise.com where I was able to meet so many wonderful people and do all the author pages. And now, I also maintain Jim’s website at www.in-my-dreams.com. Josslyn for sharing her ad with the AMG for the DuPage Woman’s Newspaper. And, then I met Karon Gibson www.americanurse.com who had asked me and Josslyn to be on her TV show ‘Outspoken with Karon’ and then the group thus far had led me to the Relay for Life Cancer Walk, where Jim and I met Mike Kara and did a taping for his show Mike Kara Presents.

 

 

I want to thank Lillian Bjorseth for sharing the info on the Gottawrite Networks Authorfest (my first fest and first panel.) And telling me about Back of the Room, where I’m also waiting nervously for a review from Readers Views. And also thank you Lillian for giving me the opportunity to maintain your website at www.duoforce.com.

 

 

I need to thank Denise Fleischer with www.gottawritenetwork.com for mentioning my name when doing an interview for the Pioneer Press and she also referred me to Writers Gazette where I did an interview and listed Falling Roses with E-books café.

 

 

I was nervously awaiting Denise's review. But before, she introduced me to Serena Poehlber with Fallen Angel Reviews, who had asked if I would do an interview in September. Although, Serena was not able to the review and Terri had done it instead, what a review that was! Woo Hoo! Thank you again Terri!!

 

 

Thank you Denise for giving me 4 1/2 Explosives with Gotta Write Network. Woo Hoo!! 

  

I need to thank Cynthia Brian with Starsyle Be The Star You Are! for having me on her radio show in June. And, she surprised me completely when she said that she really enjoyed Falling Roses. She proclaimed it a ‘romantic thriller’ with Bernadette Malone being one of the evilest characters she ever read. Her (unofficial) review was my first and I feel honored by what she wrote.

 

Rose Piemonte pens an exciting romantic thriller with her first novel, Falling Roses. A teenager gets hit by a car and spends two months in a coma. A rock star visits the hospital to visit sick children and becomes enamored with this comatose beauty. The fairytale comes true, albeit with some deadly twists and turns. Roses characters have depth, warmth, charm, and plenty of rock and roll. If it weren't for the doings of the evil Bernadette and her wacko half brother, Johnny and Gabrielle could live happily ever after. You'll have to read the book to find out more! Enjoy the journey...

 

 

I need to thank Valerie Conley with Nightengale Press for also having me on her radio show Calling All Authors.
