Here is a guest post on "never giving up" from my friend and author, Karen Hooper who just published her first book, Tangled Tides, with Rhemalda Publishing
Shelli, thanks so much inviting me to do a guest post today. I’m a bit intimidated considering you just had an awesome launch for Untraceable. I considered blogging about a few different topics, but they all dulled in comparison to your big day.
The best I could come up with is to discuss a topic that I know is near and dear to your heart and mine:
Never give up on a project you love.
Tangled Tides is one of my favorite books of 2011! I loved it! In fact, I'm even giving away a copy on my blog right now for the holiday blog hop. It's awesome of you to host her, Shelli.
P.S. I am buying my sister a copy of Untraceable for Christmas, and I will post reviews to Amazon, B&N, and Goodreads today or tomorrow! :-)
This is such a wonderful post. Never giving up is such an important message that gets forgotten all too often under the stress of rejection. I'm glad you guys didn't give up.
I can't wait to get around to reading Tangled Tides and Untraceable.
What a great inspiring story. It's so important to never give up. I can't wait to read your book just from the awesome cover. Good luck with your debut.
And hitting a trend at the right time is a great reason to indie publish! Congrats!
Gotta love when the universe starts tapping you on the shoulder! Thanks for sharing your story, Karen :)
Good things happen to good people, and Karen is one of the best. A great story of perseverance! :)
