The Blue Diamond: THE RAZOR’S EDGE

P.S. Bartlett

Reviews of P.S. Bartlett’s Work

“More and more—whether it be my reaching my mid-40s or as an antidote for all of the flash and flimsiness of so much modern storytelling, I am compelled to tout the value of books like Bartlett’s.”

“Don’t get me wrong, here. This is still a fantasy story, but it is a very different sort of fantasy tale. It holds out a promise of some really interesting stories yet to come from a very promising new writer. If this is just her first book, I am really looking forward to seeing what Bartlett will come up with next!”

“I have just finished reading Fireflies and all I can say is it kept me so interested I had a hard time putting it down.”-auntmir

“Fireflies” is an engaging novel with very likable characters that kept me turning the pages long after…

chrismcmullen's avatarchrismcmullen

Pre Order

KINDLE PRE-ORDERS

Finally, Kindle has a pre-order option.

But should you use it?

That’s a good question!

SCHEDULING PRE-ORDERS

  • Find this option in Step 4 when you publish with KDP. This is now called the Select Your Book Release Option.
  • Choose, “Make my book available for pre-order.”
  • Select a date. You can schedule your pre-order up to 90 days in advance of the release date.

GUEST POST BY AUTHOR P.S. BARTLETT; Check out her new historical fiction release!

The Blue Diamond

Jill Landgrebe's avatarJax Jillian, Author

Almost exactly one year ago, I took part in the author’s tent at the Baltimore Book Festival where I got to meet a couple of talented and intriguing authors.  One of them I have remained in close contact with and we have always been willing to help out each other with book promotions as well as just general advice and picking each other’s brains.  That author is P.S. Bartlett and she is getting ready to release her brand new historical fiction novel, The Blue Diamond — The Razor’s Edge.  I didn’t even think twice about hosting her during her blog tour and am excited to do it.  Bartlett has also written two other novels: Fireflies and the prequel Hope From The Ocean.   Fireflies has just recently won the “Readers’ Favorite” Silver Medal in the paranormal fiction category.  Check out P.S. Bartlett’s guest post below and join her on her fantastic voyage!

Q&A Jo Robinson of African Me & Satellite TV @jorobinson176

AM Cover V1 - CopyAfrican Me & Satellite TV

Jo Robinson

“Even though this is not the type of story I would normally read, I enjoyed the other three different themed books by this author (Fly Birdie, The Visitation and Shadow People) so much that I decided to try this latest one – and I’m glad I did, because it let me see yet another aspect of her talent as a writer.”-Chris Graham

The author has done a masterful job describing a wide range of characters. The artistic Suzette, the rugged men who work the land, the cook, maid, and tragic gardner – all have distinct personalities that leapt off the page. Enter the villainous couple who I wanted the smack from the moment I met them.”-Mark Myers

There is never a dull moment in the Hertzog household, which consists of Suzette, her loving husband Herman, their cook, Precious, the gardener, Christopher and their…

Inspiring Advice From Dr. Seuss

In the past few days, my four year old granddaughter has discovered and formed a bond with Dr. Seuss. We started with the foot book and it snowballed from there. This has made my otherwise crazy week, completely sane and wonderful.

How to Optimise your Guest Author Blog Post Promotional Opportunities

Wonderful advice and guidance as always!!!

Chris The Story Reading Ape's avatarChris The Story Reading Ape's Blog

While I cannot speak for other bloggers on this topic, I suspect that similar advantages may be gained by using the following tips and suggestions when invited to appear as a guest on any blog:

1.

Always read any conditions and/or requirements pertaining to the host blog, follow them and check everything before you send your submission. Especially any hyperlinks you provide.

This will minimise any research and correspondence time between you and your host.

Some blogs (like mine) schedule their posts in advance (up to two months in advance in my case), so requests to change your article, even only slightly, can be problematic.

2.

Never forget that a guest post is your opportunity to touch base with potential readers, other authors and even possible future friends (WordPress visitors are especially friendly and I have found them to be always willing to help other authors and bloggers…
