My First Blog Entry

Writing a blog always seemed like such a mystery to me. But here I am writing my very first blog. The hardest part was finding a name for the blog. Everything I chose was already taken. Finally I found something nobody else seemed to want - so it's mine - Maddy Writes Romance. This is a big step for me the way finding a publisher for my contemporary romantic comedy, "A Total Mismatch" was a major step. Soul Mate Publishing released my full- length novel last week and I'm still excited at the thought of having my e book on Amazon. I put the first chapter of the book on my web site which I think worked out well. From the comments I've heard, readers were intrigued by the characters - Samantha Peabody and Jordan Hart - and wanted to read more about their wild courtship adventures. To help market the book I had postcard size illustrations of the cover printed with information about the book on the other side. I'm also using Facebook to promote sales. We'll see how that goes. Now that my blog is up and running I want to host other romance authors to talk about their books. I also want to write about my WIP - "The Sweet Touch" which will contain recipes. The heroine of the novel believes in a mostly raw food diet. She's a nutrition and fitness expert while the hero owns a chain of restaurants favoring steaks and the typical American diet. I plan to try out the recipes first and post some of them on this blog.
That's all for now. I can't believe I've written this much. Guess it won't be too difficult to do. Time will tell.
