updates, UpDaTeS, UPDATES!!

Howdy all! I'm sorry I haven't been on here in a while but I'm BUSY!! LOL!!

Okay, so this is what's going on right now. 'Birds of a Feather' made it to number 24 on the best sellers list in its genre! Yahoo! I still can't believe it even made the list but Hallelujah!! It did!! http://t.co/8bWpBv3Y

And after some talk about the book I've decided to write a prequel to the story. How would you like to find out why Shiloh chose her path? What turned a docile young woman with such a wonderful future ahead of her into a hardened killer? You may soon find out! Keep your eyes peeled for news!

I have recently come up with a brilliant idea, if I do say so myself. Since 'Birds of a Feather' is published only as an e-book, I've had several people ask me how they could get my autograph. Well, I don't want to disappoint so after giving it a little thought I've decided to offer everyone a mailed copy of the cover of 'Birds of a Feather' autographed by me! :) How about that?

If you would like an autographed cover of 'Birds of a Feather' please message me on any site you may have for me, with your full name and address (I will keep all your information private, so don't worry) and I'll send you out a copy.

You can message me here if you'd like. http://www.facebook.com/#!/ShilohLashley And don't forget to 'LIKE' the page if you haven't already!

If you haven't gotten your copy of the AWESOME and very first Twitter Novel EVER....get it NOW!!! Don't be left behind!! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=birds+of+a+feather+stefanowich

Oh, and did I forget to mention that you can now get 'Birds of a Feather' at our new low price?? HURRY UP!!!!

WEEK 2

So my very first book has been for sale for about 2 weeks now and I must say, I'm OVERWHELMED!! No kidding. I really am. I suppose most typical publishers or publishing houses would snort at reading that and roll their eyes. But really, I'm very grateful for everyone's support. So many of you folks have held my hand through this whole process and have been my own personal cheer leading squad for MONTHS!! Thank you all so much.

I must say, I've never had so many messages throughout the days, and I've never had so many people asking me if they can finally buy the book. Its nuts! LOL!! Everywhere I go I'm getting congratulated. And I'm working like a dog on top of my new found fame. *lifts a brow* And while this is going on, my publisher is working on ANOTHER one of my books! While that is in progress I'm working on another book! I'm a busy bee!

So anyway, I just wanted to give a HUGE Thank You to all of you who've made the purchase and stuck with me waving your pom poms!! ((HUGS))

I DID IT!! And still am....

Howdy Tweeps, Peeps and Creeps!

I haven't posted on here in a while....sorry about that! I'm a busy, crazy lady and had a lot going on. Still do actually, so let me get you all up to speed.

As of yesterday, I officially became a published author! *bows* Thank you, thank you. Yup, I finally finished the #TwitterNovel called Birds of a Feather. After MONTHS of work and edits and thanks to a wonderful publisher, Birds of a Feather is now for sale on Amazon! Check out Kindle Books at Amazon and you'll find me in there!

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Birds-of-a-Feather-ebook/dp/B00AR8CX4G/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1356190610&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=Birds+of+a+Feather+by+Kara+Stefanowich

I would like to take a moment to thank the publishers, Jim Scott and Derek Semmler at Teague Publishing for all their hard work. I'd also like to thank them for doing what every new author has been wishing for, for so long. For giving us a chance to be seen and read. (They're probably editing this paragraph as they read this....LOL!!)

Teague Publishing actually found ME online. With LITTLE persuasion I submitted my work to them after submitting it to countless other traditional publishers with little luck. Teague Publishing was quick to say, "We'd like to publish you." and give me a chance to show the world what I can do. I'm afraid, in this dying economy, I may not have ever had this chance without Teague Publishing. So thank you. I appreciate your tolerance and hard work more than you could ever know. I hope I do well, not only for myself but also for you, to help launch YOU into further success as well.

On a separate note, Teague Publishing is now working on my SECOND book! That's right, I have more! LOL!! The second one is quite different from the first. I know most writers tend to stick with one genre, but if you know me at all, since WHEN have I ever followed a straight road?

The next book to be released is a Paranormal Romance filled with action, mystery, magic and of course....*grins*...sex! So keep your eyes peeled! I'll be slapping you all with it before you know it!

I hope you all have a great weekend! And if I don't blog again before the holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!

A Venture Traveled

A venture gone untraveled will never gain. I'm so excited! My literary world has made my heart flutter. My very first book is being published. I know....old news, right? Yes but now I have something to show for all my happiness in contract signing!

My new book is the Twitter Novel I've been splashing around twitter for so long. Its finally coming to light! I've added some serious meat to this meal of a book and now its JUST ABOUT ready for you.

Don't believe me? See for yourself. How about I offer you the first chapter for FREE? You've got to read this. Its awesome....yup, I said it. Its AWESOME!!

And the book cover looks amazing! Check it out!! http://www.teaguepublishing.com/book/birds-of-a-feather/

And once you've read the first chapter, please, by all means, give me some feedback! I'd love to hear what you think! Join me and 'LIKE' my face book fan page! http://www.facebook.com/#!/ShilohLashley

And if you're REALLY into it and are wondering what kind of woman would write such a thing, here's my bio! Read if you dare! LOL!! http://www.teaguepublishing.com/book_authors/kara-stefanowich/

So keep your Kindle's on and Amazon buzzing! The book will be available for sale by Christmas!

(Full details coming soon)

Howdy!

Good afternoon all! I just thought I'd drop you a line. I've recently heard from my publisher. They just set up my bio for their website!

Check it out! http://www.teaguepublishing.com/book_authors/kara-stefanowich/

Surprised? Lol! See, there's a reason I'm called 'the crazy lady'. ;)

Good News

Happy to say I FINALLY heard from my publisher today who told me they are beginning to edit 'Birds of a Feather' !! Yay!!

I'm happy they were able to get some additional help. Sometimes business gets too good too fast then you can't keep up so it all falls apart. Fortunately they managed to catch it!

So...... Yay!! :)

Thoughts?

I've been thinking.....

After working on my biography for, oh, I dont know, a MILLION years now.... I realized that I'd left a LOT out. The reason for leaving so much out was because, everyone would know who they were in the story. And it wouldn't be a pretty turn out. The truth never is.

So I got to thinking, what if I change my name for the Non Fiction stories and keep my real name for the Fiction...?? Hmm?? What do you all think?

This way I can 'Tell All' and not have to deal with the inevitable aftermath. The story of my life is a long series of adventures, heartbreak, devestation and unbelievable excitement. Putting the whole story together would give you all a much better picture of adventure, death, tragedy, catastrophy and utter chaos. You know, life. A life you'll never believe actually took place.

This change would also give me the freedom to tell stories of other people's lives without disrespecting them or robbing them of their honor. I think its a win-win. :)

Penny for your thoughts?
