Happy MFRW Founding Day #MFRWauthor #Authors
Kayelle Allen here. Back in 2006, I was a busy author with four books. I was promoting,
learning more about promoting, and asking friends about promoting. All the ins and outs of book marketing were starting to gel and I felt like I was beginning to understand the overall concept. That said, I had a constant list of questions. Facebook was two years old. Twitter had been founded that year. Pinterest and Instagram were four years away. I had friends who had similar questions, and we would email each other and ask. Often, I’d get the same question several times in a row. I found myself going back to my “sent” file to copy an answer and resend it. Not that I wasn’t asking questions myself, but I think because I’d take the time to go find an answer if someone asked something I didn’t know – I started getting more and more questions.It was Halloween, and I was busy with all sorts of details of writing, and I got the same question from two different people. I remember thinking that there had to be an easier way to handle this. I needed a way to let everyone know what I’d discovered at the same time, and if I had a question, get an answer from someone who knew. Yahoo Groups was established and well-used, so I decided to create one that all of my friends and I could use together. We could post a question there, and anyone who knew the answer could reply.I set it up as Marketing for Romance Writers because that’s what all of us were at the time. Looking back, I’ve often wished I’d named it Marketing for Every Writer. Of course, then the initials would have been MEW vs MFRW and our symbol might have been a black cat!Then, we had 12 members. Ten years later, there are 2420 there now, plus 6230 on Facebook, 3411 on Twitter, and 1400+ on Pinterest with 71 boards and over 1000 pins.About MFRW

Awake: Wild Love Series @RedLJameson #RLFblog #romance
Who’s that Girl? Breaking Down the Romance Heroine
As a romance writer, generally we call our female protagonist a heroine. She’s usually spunky—that characteristic probably evolved from Austen’s incredible work; young-ish—although, there are some brave authors who are trying to write heroines who are in their forties or older; and she’s usually open to having a relationship or already wants one but hasn’t found the right guy; or she’s at some kind of disadvantage where a hero can save her. She, in turn, emotionally saves him. This has been the standard for—oh, maybe—thousands of years. At least since Austen, which makes it more than two hundred years of this kind of woman as the central figure in the romance genre.Nothing wrong with that. If that’s what you like, it’s what you like. And I’m the last person to judge because what I want in a heroine, I do get judged for, even being called subversive for it.I want heroines who are perhaps too shy to be spunky. Or not young. Or maybe she doesn’t want a relationship because she’s tried her fair share of online and regular dating and it really, really, really sucks. Or maybe she’s incredibly rich and doesn’t have any need to be saved from financial doom by a hotshot duke. Or maybe, just maybe she’s emotionally secure and healthy and doesn’t need saving from herself. Maybe she’s complete, as is.Or sometimes I want heroines who make big mistakes. Colossal. And I want to read how they turn themselves around and become better people.But this latter example is controversial. In the movie Trainwreck, the character Amy is a drinking, sexualized, snarky woman who has to learn how to overcome her dysfunctions to become vulnerable with a man who loves her. Amy has to conquer her fears. She has to work at becoming a better person. She has to pursue her love interest when she realizes she could lose him. This kind of role is usually reserved for the male protagonist or hero in a romance.It’s a simple switcharoo of gender roles. Or is it? Or is it a lot more complicated than that?In Kameron Hurley’s latest article, “In Defense of Unlikable Women,” she compares the two protagonists of the movies Sideways and Young Adult. Both protagonists drink too much, one steals to help a buddy cheat on his fiancé, while the other actually tries to have an affair with a married man. One protagonist is male. The other female. The female character is called “thoroughly unlikable,” “angst-driven,” and “controversial.” The male character was “critically applauded.” In Jami Gold’s blog post, “Why is ‘Unlikable’ Often a Deal Breaker for Readers?” she also notes the double standard for hero and heroine characters, asking, “The majority of [romance] fiction readers are female, and the majority of those giving pushback to ‘unlikable’ heroines are women. So the question becomes: Why are we so hard on ourselves?”Excellent question that I don’t feel qualified to answer, except for myself. I do want a variety of heroines. I want to read about a forty-year-old woman falling in love with a twenty-eight-year-old man. I want to read about a heroine who saves the hero from financial ruin. I want to read about a quiet girl who gets the guy. Or the overweight girl who falls for the hot hunk who falls for her without requiring her to lose weight or thinks anything derogatory about her body. I want to read about a woman overcoming great obstacles, some she might have created herself, to find not just love for someone else but for herself too.Toni Morrison said, “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” So, I do. That’s why I write because I want to read about women, real women who make mistakes, who pursue love, who chase after life and happiness with reckless abandon. I want to read about women like me.Today’s featured book is Awake, Book 3 of the Wild Love Series by Red L. Jameson.About the BookTitle Awake, Book 3 of the Wild Love SeriesGenre Contemporary Erotic RomanceAuthor Red L.

But, Do I Have To… @olivianightreads #RLFblog #RomanticSuspense
But do I have to? Making research less painful.by Olivia NightWhen I started my first novel, I knew immediately that I was
going to need to do some a significant research. I knew nothing about the arms business,
Sierra Leone or it’s vibrant customs and culture. Research was not something I had
considered a necessity before I got serious about writing novels. But now it’s one
of my favorite parts! (Dork Alert!)My second novel required even more research. As a Type A person
I had to be sure to that what I was writing was accurate. One research topic I was
not quite prepared for was delving into the psychology of victims of abuse. The
heroine in Seduction in Seville, Madison Lockwood, survived a horrific situation
and it was important to me that I tell her story correctly. It felt like a balancing
act at times when writing her and her growth through the novel.Poorly researched novels stick out like sore thumbs and can sometimes
communicate to the reader that the author just really didn’t care all that much
to get things right, even if that isn’t the case.Research can a dreaded task when writing, so I compiled list
of research tips that I swear by. Enjoy!Tip #1 – It is totally okay to type “(need information here)” in your manuscript as you are write instead of stopping at that moment and finding the answer you need. I do this quite frequently, especially if I am on a roll – so to speak. This leads naturally to the next tip.Tip # 2 – Commit and then sit down and do the research. It’s much harder to get a clear picture of political environment of say, Tunisia, if you research five minutes here and ten minutes there. Tell yourself you are going to research the hierarchy of wolf dens for thirty minutes and research not only what you need but as much as you can.Tip # 3 – Notes, notes, notes. Just doing a copy/paste into a new document isn’t going to actually give you the knowledge that you need to write. Or write well. Of course you want the information on hand when you need it but, you need to understand the information as well. At this point in our lives we are all pretty aware of how we best learn. Do that. Because it’s important to…Tip # 4 – Do more than regurgitate information. It is pretty easy to spot information within a novel that is simply reworded or paraphrased from somewhere else. As the author of your book or series it’s important to have a real understanding of what you are writing about.Tip # 5 – Google Earth! I have spent sooooo much time on Google Earth. I want to get even the smallest details correct. This includes street names, landmarks and restaurants. Recently I used it to chart my hero and heroine’s trip from Hungary to Scotland. I wanted to use the correct routes, with accurate time traveled as well as places they could stay that were off the beaten path (because people on the run need to be off the beaten path).Tip # 6 – Ask questions. When I was researching human trafficking laws within the European Union tons of questions came to mind. I spent the time and researched to find those answers. Then when I was writing about the human trafficking ring in my novel the words just flew off the tips of my fingers. Of course, a lot of what I learned was not included, but that didn’t matter. I felt confident in my knowledge as opposed to nervous that I may be getting something wrong.Research may not be the most favorite pastime for authors, but it’s a necessary evil to create a well written book. Plus, when you spend time on google earth tell the kids and hubby or wife to leave the room and you can pretend you’re taking a mini vacation!In a hospital in Seville, Spain, Patrick Kane lies in a coma. Ambushed and shot while protecting a friend, he fights to survive.She never thought she would see him again. Patrick, the man who’d brought her back.Eight years ago, Patrick Kane, a joint partner in Fairlane Trade International, descended into a basement of horrors. That horrible day he rescued many women, but one he would always remember. Her beautiful doe eyes filled his dreams and haunted his nightmares.Madison Lockwood, a nurse, has struggled to put her past behind her, trying to forget the time she spent in captivity. But she recognizes the man who rescued her and brought her out of that terrifying reality. She owes him her life. Patrick is gravely injured, and Madison vows to see him through.When Patrick opens his eyes, he instantly knows that he made a mistake leaving Madison after freeing her from the clutches of a human trafficking ring. She is meant to be his. As Patrick tries to win over a wary Madison, the past they both thought was gone for good comes back with a vengeance. One by one, the survivors of the horrific ordeal are being murdered. Patrick knows that Madison will be next if he doesn’t protect her.Together they must fight for their survival. Seduction In Seville, book two in the Men of FTI series, is a tale of redemption, murder, new beginnings, and love that takes the reader on a wild, exotic ride.Title: Seduction in Seville, The Men of FTI Book TwoGenre: Romantic SuspenseAuthor: Olivia NightBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RBuy This Book

Olivia Night, a fictional character herself, has always been an avid reader and writer. She found the romance genre in college and has never been able to get enough. One sleepless night, the main characters of Book One in her Men of FTI series sprang from her head fully formed. They demanded she tell their story; so she did. As they revealed themselves, so did two other intriguing characters. Those characters convinced her to give them their own books because their stories were worth telling too. And so Olivia suddenly became a romance author. When Olivia is not writing, she has the best job in the world, which, too, will remain a secret. In her free time, she reads, write, drinks wine, or is, most likely, out emulating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Olivia lives in one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the U.S. — Baltimore. She lives with her cat, which she is convinced was a gladiator in his past life. Olivia plans to continue being awesome at this thing called life. Really, that’s her only goal.Author Social Media

Where Book Buyers Live @JackieWeger #Amazon #RLFblog
The Reluctant Hero Blogs about Amazon abound… Amazon is an 800 lb. Gorilla. Amazon
is a monopoly. One author reported in a Facebook page, he was only earning two cents
per book in Amazon’s new royalty structure on borrows (KENP). He is not a happy
camper. As indie authors, we don’t need to get caught up in the rhetoric on the
Web. There is always a hidden agenda and facts not shared. Here is a F.A.C.T. Most
indie authors have not explored Amazon. Some have never read Amazon Terms of Service.
Here is one of the terms. If you put your books in Select, they may not be published
on any other sales venues, i.e. iTunes, Google Play, Barnes and Noble and Kobo.
One author ignored those terms and raised a ruckus because Amazon pulled all of
the author’s books and banned the author from publishing on Amazon for a year. The
author did not mention in the rant that Amazon gives the author a five day notice
to get books removed from other venues. The author ignored those notices. Oops.What can an indie author do to master Amazon?
Amazon provides a raft of tools and guides for indie authors.
When composing our bios inside Amazon Central, it offers ehow examples. Most don’t
tick that and compose a resume–as if looking for job…instead of creating a bio
that will interest a reader. Top 1000 Amazon Reviewer, Julie Whiteley reminds
authors that readers don’t take an author ego out of her purse while waiting in
dentist office. Readers take out their Kindles. Inside Author Central an author
can add up to five RSS feeds…your blogs stream live across your Amazon Author
page, as well as your Tweets.On your author page you will see this beneath your photo:
That Follow button is powerful. Encourage your fans and readers
to follow you on Amazon. When you have a new release, Amazon sends out a dedicated
email announcing the new book to the follower. Every author can do this. We are
told time and again to build a platform. I’m not certain what that is…but Amazon
has given us a way to gather followers…yes it has…scroll down to the bottom
of your print edition book page, below the first page of reviews and you will see
this:
Wow! Amazon does all of the work. You can give away a single
print book or five. Up to the author’s budget. You can have entrants follow you
on Amazon, follow you on Twitter or watch a video on YouTube. But by far, following
you on Amazon is more useful. Amazon is where book buyers live and driving a reader
to Amazon is smart.Inside Your KDP Account you may also tick Promote and Advertise
next to any of your ebook titles and this will come up:
Amazon is getting better at showing those sponsored ads on book
pages where it often shows “Also Bought.” These ads are great for exposure.
I don’t look for sales—yet.Amazon has sites in thirteen countries. Have you checked your
book on all thirteen sites? Bet not. Ten amazon venues offer Kindle Unlimited subscriptions.
Go HERE for a list. Guess what you can do? Visit all ten Amazon
venues, navigate to your book page…just put in your author name or the title to
your book and the book page comes up…You can Tweet/Facebook and Pin your book
on Pinterest. On the far right and down a bit you will see the icons below. Use
them. See the little envelop. Click it. Up comes a nice short link to your book
to copy & paste on Facebook. You can also edit the Tweet that comes up. I do.
I add #KindleFic and perhaps another hashtag. If the book is FREE or 99c, I add
that. For non-English language sites, I also use Google to translate Read FREE w/Kindle
Unlimited or Special Sale or discounted. You will have to remove some text…I take
out my name. Or if the book is the first in a series…take out the title of the
series. Do the same with your print editions. German and India natives prefer print
editions. Pump your book in those languages. Play with Amazon. You can’t kill it.
And how nice is it to have a readymade tweet from each country?
Every author can build an author page inside Author Central, revise
bios, book descriptions, claim and add books and see the total number of reviews
on your books on amazon.com. Amazon lists all of your reviews inside Author Central…so
easy to grab quotes from reviews for blogs and Tweets. You can also check your author
rank. You want to do that during and after a book promotion. During one book promotion
my author rank was 37. That told me only 37 other authors were out selling my book
in Literary Fiction–which is the category I placed one of my books.All of the above is just a short list of what I have explored
and used on Amazon. There is much more on the sidebar inside Amazon KDP. When you
want to know how Amazon works, ASK AMAZON, not your colleagues who may give you
misinformation picked up elsewhere. Want to talk to a live person? Say so in ‘contact’.
Amazon will call you within five minutes.Finally. Yes, there are many indie authors unhappy with Amazon.
I am NOT one of them. My best advice to authors is: Think for Yourself. Make the
best decision you can for your book. We are not entitled to sales and we are not
entitled to reviews. We must work for those. I never like to sign off a blog without
telling you the easiest path to reviews. Put this gentle gem of a plea right after
THE END in your book.Thank you for taking the
time to read [title]. If you enjoyed it, please consider telling your friends or
posting a short review. Word of mouth is an author’s best friend and much appreciated.
Thank you. [author name].Does it work? Yes it does. In my two years as an indie author
readers have posted above 1700 organic reviews on my titles. Good luck with your
books in 2016.For more good advice from Jackie WegerAbout the Book

Happy (Halloween) Birthday 2015 @MFRW_ORG #MFRWorg #MFRWauthor #RLFblog
#MFRWauthor Happy birthday to Marketing for Romance Writers 2015. I
created MFRWorg on Halloween, 9 years ago this year. It’s hard to believe it’s
been that long. It had about 12 members because those were the people I was
always talking to and we would ask each other marketing type questions. We were
each other’s resource. I had been getting emails for a long time and would
answer with what I knew. When I realized I was getting the same questions in
slightly different forms from multiple people, I decided to make it easier on
all of us and create a group where we could post once and get answers from
everyone. Voila! MFRW was born.
I should have called it Marketing for Writers. Many of our current members
don’t write romance, but some principles carry over to every kind
of book, and every kind of writer. It doesn’t matter though, because those who
don’t mind looking past the name will find answers to their questions.There are thousands of members now. The group fills a unique place, and creates a safe place to ask questions, without having to deal with constant promo. However, if you need a place to share a post, come ask. Opportunities abound.What is Marketing for Romance Writers?
MFRW is a peer-oriented mentoring
group open to the entire literary community. Ask your marketing-related
questions, or request help, advice, or opinions. You can learn how to create a
professional image and use it effectively, as well as ask for opportunities to

New Library In Town: One Stop For Writers @onestop4writers #amwriting #RLFblog
If there’s one thing all writers agree on, it’s that writing is TOUGH. The road to publication twists and dips as we learn the craft, hone our abilities, create stories we’re passionate about, fight discouragement, educate ourselves about the industry…and then start the process all over again as we realize there’s room to improve. But you know what? If you are like me, you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Yet, sometimes it’s nice to get a helping hand.Finding a good writing book, a helpful blog, a mentor or critique partner to share the journey with…these things are gems along the writing path.
And guess what? Maybe there’s another resource waiting just up the road called One Stop For Writers.
One Stop For Writers is not writing software, but rather a powerful online library that contains tools, unique description collections, helpful tutorials and much more, brought to you by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi, the authors of The Emotion Thesaurus and Lee Powell, the creator of Scrivener for Windows.
Could One Stop For Writers be the writing partner you’ve been searching for? Visit Writers Helping Writers this week and see, where Angela, Lee and Becca are celebrating their venture with prizes and some pay-it-forward fun.Social Media
