Lately, I’ve seen more “readers” connect with me on Twitter than “techies.”
This pleases me to know with help from my current readers I’m garnering the attention of other readers.
My readers are “talking” about me.
Yah!!
I’d love to go way back but a few current ones I will point out that I favorited or retweeted:

Please take a moment and if you have a twitter, follow these Literary folks and thank them for me for their support.
It’s always nice to author’s to see others “talking” about them since when we that started out as writers REALLY HATE TALKING ABOUT OURSELVES AND OUR WORK.
And really that’s the author’s hardest job of talking about ourselves.
When we were young and you heard people “talking” about you, it always felt like a bad thing.
Now with the 21st Marketing techniques of “engagement” and SEO (search engine optimization) being talked about is a good thing.
When I put this book up initially, I really didn’t think it would garner any downloads at all.
I had it for free on a site I built and then put a comment box underneath.
I had become disenchanted with the book because all my rejections letters pretty much said, the story had too many characters in it and it would confuse the reader.
I didn’t want to cut down on characters so I just felt “well, if no ones else wants it, I’ll just offer it for free.”
I forgot about it and came back three months later to over 100 comments about the book.
Readers were loving it and I was shocked and amazed the book had been downloaded over 900 times.
If anyone has the earlier edition you can still see the ugly masquerade blue cover on that version.
This was my first eBook experience and it was my first experience where someone was talking about me and I was shocked! Really shocked they wanted more and loved Jaelen.
Even I can’t understand how he got Kimberly to love him cause he’s still one of the meanest characters I’ve ever written aside from the Hearts and William Stone.
LOL
I’m pretty proud of myself on that experience and I learned from that to help my readers more and more “talk” about me.
I even love to say Tuesday is TalKing Day. That’s the day I’d love for my fans to “talk” about me on their social network.

I don’t have a twitter page. But, because of you Ms. Hubbard, I will set one up to promote my favorite author. I am already connected through FB also. I don’t mind promoting your books because you are a gifted and talented author. I have posted many reviews on amazon on each book I have purchased. I love your novels. My first one was Deceptive Nights, and from there I think I have read everything you have published or posted(27 or more stories). Of course I searched every where I could to find stories. KEEP UP THE GOOD TALENT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU. YOUR TRUE FANS WILL ALWAYS BE BEHIND YOU.
Your Loyal Fan,
Stephanie
