Walk with Jesus today - UPDATE!

I am in need of a few more reviewers for either the audio, eBook, or paperback copy of I Walked with Jesus. My goal is to have at least 10 reviews on Amazon (more would be great!) before the second book in the series comes out in mid-September. 

That means I need your help. Based on the reviews I've received thus far, you won't be disappointed in this book whatever way you get it. If you want the paperback, just send me a note here of your interest. and I'll mail you a copy. Anything else comes with a free audio code or an eBook gift directly from me!

Let me know if you'd like the code from Audible! Get it free!

Paperback $3.50!

What do you know of the woman at the well? What led her to the well that day - the exact day Jesus would be there? What of the lepers, the blind man, the woman who dried Jesus' feet with her hair? What of the Centurion who said at the cross, "Surely this was the Son of God”? Stories of Jesus. You have heard them since you were young. But what about the parts that you’ve never heard?

The stories that need to be told? The stories you need to hear?

5.0 out of 5 stars We NEED more books like this!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2022

We absolutely need more books like this! "I Walked with Jesus" takes moments from the gospels—encounters with Jesus, and portrays them in a novel-like narrative. If you're familiar with the TV series,
"The Chosen," this book reminds me of that show because it portrays beautifully and emotionally the people with whom Jesus came in contact.

Reading the stories spelled out like a novel brings them to life, especially for avid readers. I think there's potential to never read the scriptures the same, because of the powerful portrayals in the book.

Kathryn's got it right! I'll be watching for more of her work!

I am in need of more reviews! Book 2 in the series is coming out soon! Please let me know if you'd like to review the audio version of the book. I have a free code for you!

Enjoyed the plot with an alien helping humankind. Intriguing characters. Excited for the sequel.

"Once again, I have the wonderful opportunity to work with Kathryn Elizabeth Jones on her books.

In the past, I've enjoyed narrating her cozy mysteries, but this time, I got a big surprise... a SciFi-Fantasy trilogy!

The first book is called LIGHTSHADE (The Space Adventures of Aaden Prescott, Book 1)

As soon as I started reading it, right away, it reminded me of the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

If you recall the movie, it started off with some serious adventure, which I thought was genius. That is exactly what happens at the beginning of LIGHTSHADE. It's an instant adventure! On the first page, the planet Mercury is heading right for Earth and there's nothing anyone can do about it... but our young hero, Aaden Prescott has a secret. Something very powerful and it kept me on the edge of my seat as I read through to the end.

The characters are well developed, Aaden is a lovable boy, and the book is perfect for lovers of SciFi and Fantasy. Aaden speaks in the first person, telling the story with his darling personality and when I got to the end of the book, I was seriously ready to read book two. 

I was intrigued, interested, and really taken by Kathryn's gift of writing any genre, but this one is my favorite. I believe you'll love it as much as I do.

Check it out, you won't be disappointed! You'll simply want more!"

Half a Dozen Superb Ways [I have discovered this time around] to market my book

As I was thinking about what I might share with you today it came to me that I have done a few things differently this time around to market my book. I have always marketed, but I haven't always wanted to spend any money doing it. I figured there were enough FREE places to get my name out there that I didn't need to spend any money to do it.

What I have discovered this time around is that I still need to be careful with my money, but that, with a little research, I can get my name out there forking out a few bucks.

The first thing I read is that I needed to get reviewers before my book came out. I'd heard this before, but the sage advice added something I'd never heard before. Make a goal. They suggested a minimum of 30 reviewers in place before the release date. 

Can I tell you, this was a lot of work! As of yesterday, I am in need of 4, and my formal release date is August 30, so I feel like I still have some time. [Maybe you can help?]

I began to find reviewers asking people I knew personally, then online and from my list of followers, both on my blog and on my newsletter. And then I looked at blogs that had a list of book reviewers on their blog tour! On one particular blog, I received 6 yesses from the book tours listed, so that tells me something! [Though not all of them reviewed, they did give a thumbs up to post my book on their blog]. Unfortunately, I don't have the link for you. Fortunately, I have the list of the six blogs. They are A Blue Million Books, Wall-to-Wall Books; foreverreading@gmailcom [future post in the works], Novels Alive, Quiet Fury Books, B for Bookreview, and Margaret Yelton; mafyelton@msn.com; facebook.com/margaretfyelton.

One of the memes created by Novels Alive

From this list, I paid $25 to have Novels Alive create some memes for me and to post throughout the day on Twitter; something I have never done. Everything else was free. I currently have over 200 entries for the contest, and among the final count, one winner will receive a $25 Amazon gift card and a paperback copy of my book. I wrote a blog post and shared an excerpt from my book, and was given an "About the Book" section, book description bio, links, and author photo opportunity.

Another thing I have done is to go through my list of #hashtags. I have been collecting hashtag ideas for a long while but have used them rarely. I am trying to use them when I send out my social media.

On the day my book was released, I sent out a new

book trailer with short quotes from reviews I'd received. Although I have done this before, I had never thought to release the video on the release date. I pay a yearly fee to Animoto.com for the service to create these book trailers. They are easy to do. I am no techie and they make the process simple.

Another thing I have done this time is to offer my previous eBook, "Enlightened: My Personal Journey with Christ Through Scripture Journaling" for FREE. [You have through the 30th of August if you'd like a copy]. Often, if readers can get a free book, and they love it, they will more than likely purchase your new book.

Yes, marketing your book takes a lot of time and work, but I have found [once again] there are many people out there, both authors and readers, who want to help you - even if it's for a few additional bucks. 

 

BLACK FRIDAY MYSTERY

It's really a mystery why so many people stand in those lines the day after Thanksgiving. It's an even greater mystery because I used to be one of those standing in line.

Why did I do it?

For the great deals, of course. And I have to be honest... I really did like waiting in line and talking to other crazy folks in line willing to do the same thing! What I found to be particularly interesting, is what folks usually stood in line for.

Electronics.

But there was always the surprise. One year it was socks!

I have aged some since my first race through the electronics department at Walmart, and perhaps I've gotten a little bit smarter. I now shop online for those deals, and you probably do too!

To add flavor to the occasion, I wanted to let you know that my suspense Mystery, Scrambled, will be up for FREE TODAY ONLY! That means if you are like me and want to stay home to miss the rush, you may also want to put your feet up and do a little reading.

Notice anything different?
