With it being September 1st, I want to thank everyone for wishing me Happy Birthday.
Also, I’d like to thank all the readers, fans and other literary folks who took the time to help me online getting Love Like This for Free!
When I wrote Love Like This, I never thought people would be so affected by Evan and Nicole’s life.
From angry to turned on, readers have said I’ve taken them through a gambit of emotions.
I’m glad.
This week has been a whirlwind of firsts for Love Like This.
1. It was uploaded to Amazon
2. It was finally listed for free on Amazon
3. It hit bestseller list in several categories.
…. including #1 in Erotica and #2 in Multicultural/Interracial.
4. I got a new book cover! (SEE BELOW)
5. Earlier in the week before Amazon put it on paid, Love Like This saw itself on the paid top bestseller list…

I’m trying to get below #117 in the free store, but that’s a dream. Currently, I’m running at 100 downloads an hour. (Need your help some more in getting the word out about this book.)
Love Like This was actually one of my fun novels. One that I wrote between a more gruesome book to relieve the pressure.
It’s hard to explain.
The entire Black Family Series is a line of “fun” books, although not all the Blacks are fun.

Thanks so much in advance for your support to my literary efforts.
… And now without further ado…
Now I know what you’re going to say. Hey, that photo’s been used in other books and I also used it on the first cover of Hope is Love.
For a free book, since I had already bought this stock, I decided to reuse it but on the first book since Hope is Love has another cover. Why waste?!
I want to thank @KeithDYoung. Tweet him and let him know how much you like the cover too. He’s fun! And cute.
Let me know what you think in the comments below…

HAPPY BDAY SYLVIA!!!!!! Hope all is well for you and can’t wait for Emperor’s Addiction
Birthday Blessings! Have a great day!
First off, Happy Belated Birthday Sylvia. Sorry I haven’t been around for awhile, life’s gotten in the way. I hope that things are coming together for you and your family and that you are getting settled into your new surroundings.
I read Love Like This two years ago and loved it, Ethan and Nicole were awesome!!!! I’ve also read the sequel, Hope is Love with Hope (Jona) and James (Ethan’s brother), another excellent read. I continue to say I love reading your work, you put romance, violence, sympathy, and antagomism in your stories, which makes them real. Also, I’m a fan of interracial romances and love your blue eyed alpha males.
I must mention the Heart men and women who are woven throughout your books. I’ve read their stories too. I’m looking forward to reading Emperor’s story, I tried reading all of it while it was a work in progress on your blog after I discovered you in the fall of 2011, but by it being posted in 2009, many chapters were deleted. As soon as it’s available for purchase, I will be buying it!
Sylvia, you are one of my favorite authoris and I will read everything that you write, just because you have proven that it will be worth the reading. Your latest installment to the Heart series, Wicked Chances was wickedly excellent! Keep up the good work!.
As usual, I’ve written a narrative, but Sylvia, I feel that I need to give you all the praises you are due and I hope you don’t mind.

nice to see u again serenity.
