… should be available on Kindle within the next 12 to 24 hours. Fingers crossed it’ll be up sooner than that.
As always, we appreciate your patience. This book … okay, not sure what’s going on but it’s already available on Amazon! Yay! Needless to say we’re doing multiple Snoopy dances over here.
Enjoy! And thanks to all our readers for their patience! Y’all are the best ever and we are very blessed to have you!
…has been downloaded to Kindle and should be available within 12 hours! We thank our readers for their patience and as promised we have a surprise for you! Until January 31, 1915, Beloved Woman will be available at a special introductory price of .99!
But wait! There’s more! Moonfixer will also be priced at .99 during this time and Whistling Woman, too, of course, has alway been .99. That means you can get the all three books in the Appalachian Journey series for under $3.00! Woo-hoo! Happy dances all around!
Seriously though, we are so grateful to our readers for their patience and apologize again for not making our original deadline. If you follow the Appalachian Journey Facebook page, you know we had a bit of a snag last week while we were in Florida doing the final edits. After a lot of debate and discussion, however, we decided to follow our heart and go with the book as it was originally written…and while we hope we haven’t offended anybody by telling the truth as we heard it, we also hope everybody enjoys reading the book as much as we enjoyed writing it.
Okay, that’s it, time to turn our brains off for a while and get some much-needed rest! Next up, the print version!
To all our readers who have been waiting so patiently for the next book in our Appalachian Journey series…
Moonfixer just went live on Kindle! Yay! For the time being, it will only be available on Kindle but the print edition is in the works as is the audio edition. It will also be available on Nook, Kobo, Sony, Apple, etc., in a couple of months–or sooner depending on when we get the formatting worked out. We’ll post here when each version goes live so stay tuned!
We want to thank each and everyone of you for your patience and for making 2013 such a joyful and memorable year for us! We wish all of you a very merry Christmas and a safe and healthy 2014!
about how time flies when you’re having fun? Well, I must have been having a blast in February judging by the date of my last post. Over a month without a single word written on this blog. Yikes! I had hoped to put up at least three posts a week but as you can see, I’ve failed miserably. My only excuse is research and writing has taken up a great deal of my time. That and promoting Whistling Woman which is currently #1 on the Kindle southern and historical fiction list. Woo-hoo! We’re a Kindle bestseller!
Something else I’ve been spending a lot of time on is Photoshop. I bought the program last July and finally got it downloaded (uploaded? I never know which is right!) to my computer. The first picture I added was one we have of Aunt Bessie and Uncle Fletcher on their wedding day. It’s in pretty bad shape and I have plans to take it to a professional picture restorer (or whatever they’re called) but I wanted to see what I could do with it on Photoshop first.
Here’s the original picture:
Told you it was in bad shape but it is from 1902 and was tucked in a small picture album Aunt Bessie gave to our dad before she died. He’d wrapped it in plastic and stored it away for years before pulling it out and giving it to us when we started writing Whistling Woman. This is the only picture we have of Aunt Bessie when she was young and it’s the only picture we have of Uncle Fletcher at any age. Because it was taken on their wedding day, Christy and I have decided it would be the perfect picture for the cover of Moonfixer which starts where Whistling Woman left off–a week after their wedding with their train trip to Old Fort.
Anyway, here’s my first attempt at fixing it myself on Photoshop:
Still needs some work but I thought for a first time try it wasn’t too bad. At least I got the edge cleaned up! Here’s the second attempt:
I know, I know, too dark so I went back and tried to lighten it up and came up with this:
Not real happy with that one either, although you sure can see them a lot better. So, next time, I’m going to work with this one and see what I can do to clean up the background. Photoshop is an amazing program but I have to tell you, it’s terribly complicated to learn. Or maybe that’s just me!
Okay, that’s it for now except to tell you my new goal for this blog: at least one post a week. Surely I can handle that!
Whistling Woman is a bestseller and we can’t help but crow a little bit. Look at this:
It’s a little hard to see there, but for Kindle in literature and fiction, southern fiction, historical fiction Whistling Woman has been at the top of the list since yesterday–and maybe even before that. We just happened to find it yesterday and boy, howdy, did we do some crowing over the phone! We knew the sales had been steadily increasing since the second week of September but we had no idea we’d hit number one! Yippee!
