One week until Release Day!

So glad you stopped by on this rainy day.

Only one week until the official release day for PIECES of LOVE! PJSharon_PiecesOfLove_800px

On Saturday, June 21st, from 4-7 pm,  in celebration of the occasion, I’ll be hosting a virtual launch party on Facebook (no need to rent a hall and no cap on the number of party-goers!). Together with several “celebrity” guest authors, I’ll have prizes and e-books, signed copies of PIECES of LOVE for giveaways, and tons of fun chatting with readers and writers about books, vacations, travel, and of course, romance! You simply need to “join” the party, then stop by between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. EST, and leave a comment to be entered into the drawings. If you didn’t receive an invitation, you probably aren’t on my FB friends list. If you’d like to remedy the situation so you don’t miss out on opportunities like this in the future, pop on over and “like” my PJ Sharon Books page. Go ahead, do it now. I’ll wait…but don’t forget to come back!

Just for you, I’ve made it easy to join the party. Here’s the link to your personal invite. If you think you might want to stop by to say hi or hang out and enjoy the conversation, just respond by clicking on “join”. You’ll get a reminder before the party so you don’t forget.

Since I know how busy your social calendars are, if you can’t make the party, no worries. June 21st is the first day of summer after all. Besides, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to join me in celebrating, and more chances to win cool prizes while I’m on my blog tour from June 23rd-27th. Pieces of Love Blog Tour Banner

Six Week Countdown

Hello Readers,

A big thank you to those who dropped by the Book Lovers Buffet Facebook Party. It seemed a good time was had by all, and it gave me some awesome ideas for the release of PIECES of LOVE next month. That’s right…only six weeks left until the release of my next contemporary YA romance.PJSharon_PiecesOfLove_800px

For indie authors, that final six weeks is a frenetic whirlwind of to-do’s. In case you’re interested, this is what still has to be done:

1) Complete final proof (this entails a second printing of proof copies to make sure every detail is as it should be–including cover, blurb, and as close to perfect as possible interior).

2) Send out review copies to reviewers (I’d love to hand this off to a personal assistant since it entails about two eight hour days consisting of busy work like filling out each review sites forms and meeting their individual submission requirements–a tedious and necessary evil).

3) Complete book trailer (hubby is helping out with this and hopefully, it’ll be done this week!)

4) Compile blog posts for my blog tour.

5) Update website–in process.

6) Create and order bookmarks, swag, and other giveaway items.

7) Send finished manuscript to formatter. ( Previously, I’ve done my own formatting, but because I’m adding the theme song to the e-book, this one will be a bit tricky, so I’m seeking help from a pro, Amy Atwell of Author EMS, who is a gem to work with).

8) Prepare for launch day, including wrangling a few celebrity guests to appear. (Party time!)

9) Order final print copies and upload to retailers.

10) Update all of my social media sites, author pages, and promotional venues with book info and buy links.

11) Take a vacation! Already in the works is a long overdue visit to my son in California. So looking forward to hanging out with my boy and taking a ten day road trip up the Pacific coastline with my wonderful husband.

As you can see, it’s going to be a very busy six weeks. But no worries, I’ll continue to write my thousand words or so a day on book three of the Chronicles of Lily Carmichael trilogy to stay on target with my schedule for a fall release and poke my head out of my writer’s cave to do some giveaways over on my Facebook PJ Sharon Books page. If you haven’t done so, pop on over and “like” my page so you can get in on all the fun. That’s where the release party will be held on June 21st and you won’t want to miss it.

If you can’t wait until June to read the book, why not try your luck at winning an advanced copy. Enter the Goodreads giveaway below for a chance to win one of three signed copies–weeks ahead of the release date!

Cover Reveal and a Theme Song

Thank you so much for joining me to celebrate today!

The excitement has been building for months, and I can finally share two pieces of my PIECES of LOVE  project. Of course, the launch for the actual book won’t take place until June 21st, but for today, I’m happy to share my lovely cover with you.

If you want to get in on a chance to win an advanced reader copy (ARC), pop on over to my PJ Sharon Book page on FaceBook, “like” my page, and leave a comment. It’s as easy as that. Contest ends at midnight on April 18th, so don’t wait!

Drum roll, please }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Ta Da!

Cover Reveal!

Cover reveal!

Didn’t Kim Killion and the folks over at the Killion Group do a fabulous job? I’m very happy with the final result. I love to hear from you all about what you like and yes, even what you don’t, so feel free to leave an honest comment below. I truly appreciate any and all feedback. It’s the only way we as authors can improve our products, and my goal is to deliver the best reading experience I can for my readers. That includes a stunning cover that evokes emotion, reflects the tone of the genre and story, and gives readers a glimpse of what they’ll find when they open the book and step into the world I’ve created for my characters.

But that’s not all!

Last month I was working in the recording studio on a theme song for the story and promised you an update this month. It took some work (mostly fun work!), but the project is complete and now available on multiple music venues.

For now, here’s the link for a .99 cent download on i-Tunes, where you’ can listen to a sample, rate it, and purchase the song for your iPod, android or Smart phone. Yes, that is my voice, and yes, I did write the song, but I owe a huge thank you to my pal Ozone Pete who helped put it all together on the guitar, and Jim Fogarty from Zing Studios who produced the project. That’s Jim on piano. These guys did an amazing job of making me sound good, LOL.

In the midst of the ten hours we spent together in the studio, I knew it was lunch time when Jim started singing “Pizza’s of love, pizza’s of looove…” Between that and his impromptu Three Stooges video breaks, he had me cracking up, and he and Pete made the whole experience a pleasure.

Next up, my husband and I will be working on the book trailer which will feature part of the song. I’m hoping to have that done next month. Proof copies of the book are on their way, so I and my proofreader can make last minute corrections, then it’s off to final print! My favorite part is getting those final proof copies and knowing that I have a quality product that’s near and dear to my heart to share with readers.

We authors put our heart and soul into every book, so your opinion matters to us and honest reviews are always appreciated. If you are interested in reading PIECES of LOVE and belong to Goodreads, you can add it to your “Want to Read list” or go here and sign up for the Goodreads giveaway beginning April 25th.

Details and Dates

It’s been a busy first quarter for me, finishing up PIECES OF LOVE and getting it ready for its June 21st release. I know it seems like June is a long way off, but with all the details that have to happen to prepare for a book launch, believe me, it’s right around the corner. I’m currently waiting for feedback from beta readers (readers who will give me feedback about what they liked and what they didn’t so I can make final creative changes to the story before my last round of edits.) Then she’s off to the printer for proofs, out to reviewers, and I’ll be lining up my advertisers.

Oh, and I’m working on writing book three of my Lily Carmichael trilogy, aptly named…are you ready for the title reveal? HEALING WATERS! Hope you like it. The story is coming along swimmingly***ggg*** Couldn’t help myself.

In the meantime, I’ve just received the final version of PIECES OF LOVE, the theme song, completed with the help of my guitar playing buddy Ozone Pete and my friend Jim at ZING studios, and have been getting it uploaded to the various music sites. I’ll let you know when the song is out and available for .99 cent download. Of course if you want to wait and buy the book in June, you’ll have the link to the song right in your e-book! I’m very excited about this project and all the new opportunities to share my story with readers.

Also on the agenda for this month is my big cover reveal for PIECES OF LOVE, which will take place on April 18th. Each week, I’ll post another section of the cover on my Facebook page and then, on Friday, April 18th, I’ll post the complete cover, along with the i-tunes link to the song, and a give away of a few ARCs (advanced reader copies) of the book! So make sure you follow my PJSharonBooks page on Facebook, leave comments to be included in the drawing, and show up on the 18th to see the whole cover!

POL Picture4For today, I’ll share a small section with you since you are faithfully following my monthly blog or have signed up for my newsletter. If you’ve just stopped by on a whim, I try to update this page monthly with my activities, appearances and whereabouts. If you prefer only occasional updates (quarterly or when I have new releases or contests), my newsletter is very non-spammy.

In other news, my friends and I over at Addictive Reads, a collective of over twenty of the best Indie authors in town, are running a contest from April 1-April 4th in honor of the launch of our site. See here for details and to sign up for our Rafflecopter prizes of books and gift cards!

On April 3rd, I’ll be posting to the Secrets of 7 Scribes blog. I’m only over there once a month these days, but this month I’ll be talking about Blog Talk Radio and asking the question “Are you listening?” I’d love to hear from folks who listen to BTR and find out what you all like to tune in to. I’ve done several interviews on various Romance Writing sites and I love the live interview process. I get to chat about books and romance, and answer reader questions, all while sitting in my jammies and slippers sipping tea. How cool is that? You can hear me read an excerpt from WESTERN DESERT by clicking on the BTR icon in the sidebar for my latest interview.

I think that’s it for now. I’ll keep you up to date on more fun happenings as the Spring unfolds. Next month, on May 1st, I’ll be joining my pals at IndieRomanceInk for a huge Facebook party with lots of giveaways and prizes. I’m still learning how its done so I can invite you all to mine for the release of PIECES OF LOVE. Hope to see you there!

Frozen MudHave a wonderful month and enjoy mud season. The snow has to melt eventually, right?

In the Studio…

Hey Readers,

Can you believe how quickly January passed? I’m feeling the time warp thing again. Even so, I’m excited about this month. No, not only because I get to celebrate my birthday in a couple of weeks, but because there is so much happening!

Studio PicFirst up, I’m in a recording studio for the first time ever! My friend and neighbor, Ozone Pete, and I are recording the theme song to PIECES OF LOVE, a contemporary YA novel I plan to publish later this spring. Won’t it be cool to be able to click on a link within the e-book and hear me sing a song I wrote just for the book? Yes, I’m terrified! But I’m very happy with how the project is coming out. I’ll post more about the experience next time and you’ll all be the first to know when the song goes live to my YouTube channel and is available on iTunes. I plan to create a book trailer with the music as well, so once it’s all put together, I’ll have the big reveal right here.

I’m also teaching my very first Self-publishing workshop to writers at the local library in Granby, Ct. on February 13th–which will hopefully be more fun and entertaining than it sounds. I love sharing my experience with others, and helping writers achieve their dreams is both an honor and a privilege.

Since I just handed PIECES OF LOVE off to my editor, I can now devote all of my writing time to the third book in the Chronicles of Lily Carmichael series. Here’s what my latest readers have been saying about the first two books.

WM jpg 6x9 eBook UPLOAD 2013WANING MOON

“P.J. Sharon masterfully paints a setting where the reader is instantly immersed not only in the story but directly into the story world. The characters have such depth that they become friends worth cheering. The story progression is fantastic. This is the new “must read” series!” Sarah Gonzalez, Addictive reads Reviewer

Only .99 cents at

Amazon      B&N      Smashwords

 

WD FINAL Website UseWESTERN DESERT

“WESTERN DESERT is as excellent as the first book in the trilogy. This dystopian/post-apocalyptic series should be as popular as the Hunger Games; it really is that good. The only reason it isn’t on everyone’s lips and on everyone’s Kindles is because as an indie author, Sharon does not have the backing of a big publisher, and that’s all the more reason why you should read this book and shout about it far and wide. It’s beautifully crafted, well-polished and a unique and powerful story. Books like this make liars of those who say that indie books are of lesser quality. This is far better than many mainstream books I’ve read.” Tahlia Newland, Awesome Indies

Now available at

Amazon      B&N      Smashwords

Not that I need any more excitement for this month, but my Scribes sisters and I just gave our blog a face lift and are planning some fun new ways to reach out to readers. I hope you’ll stop by and check it out, leave a comment about how you like the new look, and subscribe if you like what you see. “Like” us on FB, follow us on Twitter or share our posts with friends if you find them interesting (the posts…not your friends). We’re cutting our blogging down to 2-3 a week and will share duties, rotating days to give readers variety. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my writing family? Without them–and all of you–I’d be here all alone  spending my free time playing marathon games of Scrabble against my computer or yelling at the TV commercials. It could be fun, but I suspect it would get ugly fast, LOL.

Lest I forget that all important romance holiday, I’ll be spending Valentine’s Day with my sweet, handsome hubby. I’m not sure what we have planned, but if it’s up to me, we might be attending a couples yoga class…just sayin’ honey!

What are you doing for Valentine’s Day?

As always, I love hearing from readers and fans. Feel free to leave comments or contact me if you have questions about what I’m doing, where I’ll be next, or how I can help you achieve your dreams. Thanks for being here with me!

Peace and Blessings,

PJ

Welcome 2014!

Happiest of New Years, readers

I trust you all had an awesome holiday and that you’re settling into a new year. I don’t know about you, but I love this time of year. I could do without the sub-zero temps and crazy winter weather, but it’s past the solstice, days are growing longer, and the light is once again taking hold. It’s a time of promise, a time of new beginnings, and a time of expansion and growth.

For me, the new year always brings new challenges. I take time out to reflect on the year before and re-assess what worked and what didn’t in my business plan, marketing plan, writing schedule, promotional efforts, and life in general.

I’m proud of accomplishing my 2013 goal of publishing WESTERN DESERT,WD FINAL Website Use  book two in my Chronicles of Lily Carmichael trilogy, as well as SOUL REDEMPTION, the short story prequel (always FREE on Smashwords or available to read on Wattpad).

I’m also happy to let you all know that WESTERN DESERT is now available for Nook at B&N, and for i-Pad and other e-readers at SMASHWORDS

As for one of my 2014 goals, I’ve recently completed a contemporary YA romance called PIECES OF LOVE, and am in the editing phase as I query agents. I’m attempting to enter into the traditional publishing arena. We’ll see in the next few months what happens with that story. I’ll keep you posted!

In the meantime, I’ll be in the recording studio later this month, recording the PIECES OF LOVE theme song, which will be offered as a link in the e-book–an idea I hope will be unique enough to help my book stand out in the overcrowded YA market.

Since I’m in my editing cave this month, I won’t be spending much time on social media, but please know that I am always here for you, my friends and readers. Please leave comments below, and always feel free to ask questions. I’ll be adding some pages to my website over the next few months, including a FAQ page regarding self-publishing and my writing life. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have planned. For insider info, including excerpts from my latest works in progress and random giveaways, don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter over in the right sidebar, .

Stop back again soon to check out my Healthy Teen Tips page, see my latest reviews, and hear what I’m listening to as I edit PIECES OF LOVE and dive deeper into the third book of the Lily Carmichael trilogy. I’m only a few chapters in and I love this story already! Tornadoes, giant gators…holy post apocalypse, Batman! Lily and Will’s journey is going to be one action-packed ride.

For a limited time I’ll leave my print books on sale in these bundles. See the buy links and book info below for your convenience.
