Coming August 2013 - DENTELLE! Book 3 in the Guardian Series!

In between teaching and life in general, I am diligently working on book three in the Guardian series - DENTELLE! Look for it sometime this August! :)

Super excited to be back in Lexi's world again. Sometimes when I get writing - the hours just fly by, I'm so engaged that I forget to eat lunch, and then when I look up at the clock it's suddenly 5:00 p.m. and I realize I'm late picking up the kids up from cross country or soccer. Not to mention, I haven't even started dinner yet! Yikes!

Ereader Daily Extra is Awesome!

Super Excited! During the week of May 18 - May 25, EReader Daily Extra is featuring me as an Author of the Week! How cool is that? Yay! Can you tell I'm excited?

EReader Daily Extra is great. Not only do they feature a different author, and that author's books each week, they also update links to FREE Books and Extras on a daily basis. They have daily picks, reader's choices, and daily discounts. It's a great site. You should check them out at:

KINDLE FREEBIE

My first novel, Amethyst, finally became a FREE Kindle Book!

This YA Paranormal romance/ urban fantasy has been free at Barnes & Noble, Smashwords.com, iBooks, Kobo, and Diesel since October but was just made available for free at Amazon. It is the first book in the Guardian series.

The power of FREE at Amazon is truly amazing! In less than two weeks there have been 5401 downloads!! Now, if everyone I know, would tell everyone they know to download Amethyst, the possibilities are staggering....If you don't have a kindle, the book can still be downloaded for free onto a nook, Kobo, iPad, or eReader of some type.

A few tips that help an author's book be downloaded more times at Amazon:

1.  Leave a review and rating.

2. "Like" it on Amazon.

3. There are also "Tag Words" which can be found when you scroll down the product page on Amazon. If you take 10 seconds and place a checkmark in the tag boxes - it increases the books popularity by having it appear in other places on Amazon. For example, it will say Check the boxes next to the tags you consider relevant. So for Amethyst, you could check next to paranormal romance, fantasy, etc. etc. You can check 15 tags.

 

 

My second novel in the Guardian series, Linked, is available for $2.99. What has also been exciting is watching how many downloads this novel has had since Amethyst went free at Amazon.  Can you guess? Well.... the current winning number is one hundred and sixteen.

 

 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has downloaded my books. Please keep passing the word around...Facebook and Twitter are great places to suggest Amethyst and Linked to your friends and family.  I will keep  you updated on downloads, because that has been soooo much fun to watch.

 

Just so you know, I am currently working on book three in the series. Target date of sometime in 2013 for the release!

Happy, Happy New Year! May 2013 bring you much joy and happiness!

sincerely,

Heather Bowhay

Survived the 12th Birthday Party- barely!

With some intense planning and preparation, I survived Laci's 12th birthday party, which included 6 boys and 8 sixth grade girls! Homemade caramel apples, dinner, music, laughter, and lots of crazy! Games: marshmallow toss, battle of the lemons, M&M hunt, name that tune, candy relay, and an improv game. Boys left at 8:30 pm and girls slept over. Oh wait...did I say sleep, I mean laughed, giggled, and bounced around all night. Laci does not have a phone yet, so it wasn't until 2 am when I realized the root of the problem...texting! Needless to say, I confiscated all phones, and things quieted down about 10 minutes later.

Most valuable lesson learned: when Laci gets a phone, she turns it into Dan or I before she goes to bed each night! I know, I know...what a mean mom! Technology requires a whole new set of parenting skills! :)
