WOW!! Highest rankings yet!
So we did it! I became an Amazon Bestseller! Well, my husband did it. He did a bunch of book promotions on a single day in May and we hit #1 in Christian Fantasy and #1 in Teen & Young Adult Books about Values and Virtues. Not quite a New York Times or USA Today bestseller, but not bad for a Self Published author :)
And where I'm at, Utah, it's been record setting hot! My June has been hot all the way around. How are you beating the heat? We got our pool setup and it's been glorious to play in the sun and cool down. And it's nice and warm in the evenings.
I'm also so excited because my oldest son got engaged over the weekend! He's struggled since he had a stroke 5yrs ago. He has had to relearn to walk and talk and get back on his feet. Fortunately, he found a wonderful young lady that loves him so much. And she has a child from a previous marriage, so I'll be a grandma 3 times all the sudden this year! My daughter-in-law is due anytime now.
In book news, I've been editing several rounds of Fourth Earth. I have started working with my cover artist to get started on the cover. I'm hoping to send my manuscript to my book editor by the end of the month for his round of editing and interior design. We'll have launch updates hopefully pushing for a summer launch!!!
Anyway, back to Fourth Earth editing for me, here are some fun giveaways and promotions I'm involved with.

Despite what they want you to think, the underdog doesn’t always win.
I’m living proof of it.
That doesn’t mean I plan to give up any time soon. After being rescued from my lowly past life as a beggar, I’ve realized there’s only one way I’ll be able to essentially erase my past. I have to make it to the highest spot in Dravyn’s Higher Power I can—even if it means joining Zilferia’s Dragon Hunters and doing other things I feel are beneath me until I can prove myself to the Higher Power and join them in taking over the seven realms.
It doesn’t matter that I’m now a vampire. I’ve had to work twice as hard for everything my entire life, and I won’t let anyone stand in my way from rising from the dust I’ve always been. Not even a love I never thought I’d have.
Rising from Dust is a companion story to the Crystal Dragon Saga, and follows the story of Zarafa, a young woman with a chip on her shoulder and much to prove.
