August 21, 20205 yr comment_39964 My first novel is now live on Net Galley. Lucky John tells the story of John Roberts; A cheating husband with a 20 year grudge, who grows from being angry at everyone he felt did him wrong, to praying that those same people will forgive him. Family histories both proud and tragic play out in the background as John tries to figure out how to fix the mess he's made.

August 23, 20205 yr comment_40005 Congrats. NetGalley is a nice sized investment. What made you choose to use them? What other marketing avenues are you pursuing? Report
August 24, 20205 yr Author comment_40024 My publisher suggested it and we shared the cost. This is my first book so I am learning as I go and, in hindsight, I probably would have skipped this one. NetGalley reviewers prefer to read pre-published titles and mine went up about month after publication. Traction has been slow, so far. I'm spending a lot of time on Instagram reaching out to book clubs and reviewers. Also doing a Bookbub promotion in September - also secured via my publisher. Report
