The boyfriend got me a Kindle for Christmas and I admit that I have been very slow to come around to this kind of reading experience. But, as more of my friends as well as other authors are opting for the independent publishing route, I am more open to giving the Kindle a try. Needless to say, I was so excited when the boyfriend showed up with a Kindle for me this holiday season. My first Kindle read was written by my friend, Marie Force entitled, True North. And it's funny that around Christmas time a year ago she and I had met for lunch and she mentioned that she had started seriously thinking about putting her work out there on her own. As she has said many times, rejection has been her friend. Without it, she would not have opted to publish her books herself, she would not have amassed as much success, and she would not have gotten so many good books into the hands of her readers . . . who constantly clamor for more. I loved True North (yes, there are readers who want to read about a supermodel looking for love) and am so happy she took the chance and put her work out there in what was, a year ago, a very unconventional distribution method. Now she is one of the leaders on this new frontier and I wish her continued success!xoxo,
