This sounds very interesting! I will be purchasing it soon! I wish you had it on audiobook. I have a hard time reading in print due to my full-time job, writing, and life stuff. Audiobooks are easy for me. I listen while exercising and doing chores. If you ever get your adult books in audiobook, let me know. I'm all for that!

Sincerely,
Shana :)

I would love to have it in audio, but I can't afford the price to have it done. And to read it myself is impossible. My voice, after three bouts of Covid and so many asthma attacks, is no good for recording. What I wanted to ask you, who does your covers? They are amazing.
Thank you for the sixth star, Shana, and the encouraging words. I really appreciate them both. It's a shame you can't read, though, and I do understand, but I would love to have your opinion on it. Thanks, my friend. Warm hugs, Sandra xx

You are very welcome. I will get your book in print and read it when I have some downtime. Plus, your story sounds intriguing, and I am a book collector. :) I love to support other indie authors. It's important to support each other.
Thanks for the compliment on my covers. The cover artist for Sins of Chaos (Author's Edition) and The Immortal is Silvia Mauloabook. And Covers by Christian Artworks did Unleashed Chaos, Sins of Chaos (Revised Edition), and The Curse. He also has already done my new one for Sweet Chaos. He's very talented and a wonderful guy. I'm blessed to have found him. If you have him to a cover for you, tell him I sent you. You can find them on Facebook. Not sure if Silvia still does covers though. She's pretty pricey, but Christian is very reasonable.
Have a great evening!
Sincerely,
Shana :)

Aw, Linda, what can I say to this wonderful, amazing message you've sent me. I can barely see through the water bubbling up in my eyes. You know how much I love you and your lovely family. You're a blessing to me. I was just 'talking' to Judy Evan's (ex Fanstorian) about how many friends I've made on here. How big a family I have now. I just wish you didn't live so far away, what a party we could have.
You have been so supportive, my dear friend, I've loved writing my books, especially the one with Noah in, that gave me such a lot of pleasure. Thank you, my dear friend, your words have warmed my heart, it's full to bursting. Thank you for getting my book!! Love you loads and loads. :)) Sandra xxxxxx

I agree, everyone here are so keen to help each other, but sometimes there comes along someone who doesn't believe their work needs it and can be quite rude from what I've learned from others. Thank you, Ann, for the congratulations, that is so nice of you. Warm hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xx

I had no doubt this would happen, my friend. What a great story! I hope to get there someday, but it must be in a book of shorts as I am not a novel writer. Anyway, I'm super excited for you and wish you and Bessie and Margot and all those fabulous characters much success. Now I can finally say I know a famous author. The cover is gorgeous! Best, JohnC

I don't know if you were a member when Phyllis Stewart was a member, (she died two years ago) she wrote loads of novels and short stories. I have all her books. Her short stories are amazing, it has 50 stories inside all of various lengths. There isn't enough of those to be found in book shops or Amazon. What I'm trying to say (going around the houses first) is, you would do well to get a book of them published. They are ideal for holidays, and short journeys.

Back to your wonderful comments, and the sixth star, thank you so very much, my friend, you've been a fabulous support, and I've treasured all your reviews. I'm glad you like the cover, I was thrilled with it. Love and hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

reply by John Ciarmello on 15-Mar-2023

Thank you for the encouragement, Sandra. I'm going to work on it!

reply by the author on 15-Mar-2023

That's good! I look forward to reading more of them. xxx

I may have left you a little review on Amazon as well.

Yay, well done

Sandra, congratulations - you must be so thrilled. The book looks enticing- the cover is excellent. Did you have input into the cover ? Or did the publisher offer suggestions and or selections or options?
That is a wonderful achievement and your words of advice are words of great wisdom and also encouragement. Thank you for sharing, and I hope it is very successful.
Wendy

I had some input, then left it to them to do the cover. I was thrilled when I saw it. It fits the story perfectly. I'm glad you liked it, too. Thank you, Wendy, for all the nice comments you've said here. I really appreciate them and the congratulations. Warm hugs, my friend. Sandra xx

Congratulations on getting your book published. It is a labor of love that is quite outstanding. You are offering some very good information here. It is hard to change something that you think is perfect, but it is a lot harder to get it published if you are unwilling to make changes.

Thank you so very much, Carol. I did enjoy writing this one. I'm also glad you thought my bit of advice was worth me writing. I didn't want to come across as if I knew it all, because I don't. Thanks, my friend. Warm hugs, Sandra xx

Aw thank you, Chrissy! What a lovely thing to say, I'm over the moon that you liked that book. I'm also very happy you like the cover. When I was shown it, I was gobsmacked. It fits so well. Thank you for all your support my dear friend, you've been amazing. (don't miss the payment on the latest chapter of Bessie and Mildred's capers. I love reading what you have to say about them and it comes off tomorrow.) Love and hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra. xx
