Tea Party Tuesday * A Toast To Betas

Welcome to Tea Party Tuesday! I would like to raise a toast to my wonderful 
Beta Reader Team: 
Barbara Babcock
Tom Biggs (my wonderful brother)
Deborah Fox Belissio
Roxanne Day
Sid Frost
Brenda Burke Johnson
Donna Montgomery (who's been with me from the very first book!)
Gale O'Brien
Michelle Tucker Reed
Maxine Rohde
Shanan Shepherd
Ted Thames (my sweet husband) and
Karen Timmermann

These eagle eye readers will take the rough draft of Book 9 "Murder At Mirror Lake"

and make notes of suggested changes to enhance the work. Their input is invaluable to an indie author such as myself. As a thank you, I'll be sending them a signed copy when the book is hot off the press. Betas such as these often write the first reviews, helping to successfully launch a book.

So a huge thank you, Betas, as we begin this undertaking. Your input is most appreciated.

                     Cheers!

FALSE FRONT

By Nancy Jill Thames

My First Hammock Experience

This is a picture of what most writers wish their lives were like - relaxed, successful, no worries. Actually, my life felt this way until I got the proof  back for MURDER IN HALF MOON BAY.

It's been three years since I first published this book. Now, after a heart-to-heart talk with my strategic planner husband, I've come to the conclusion that I can't do a good job on my own.

This week I'm on a quest to find the perfect proofreader. One who will take my book seamlessly to press. Much prayer will be needed to find that person. 

I've been asked by fans to continue writing about Jillian and Teddy. With the right help, I may just continue.

Thank you, dear readers for your patience and support. My main goal is to entertain you with the very best.

Have a great week!

~Nancy Jill

NO PAIN, NO GAIN

If it was easy, everyone would do it...Think working toward your goal is difficult, fraught with hurdles and distractions? Great! You will succeed at whatever you've decided to accomplish. Hats off to a few people I admire this week: Scarlett Rains, for working hard getting reviews and spreading the word about her blog, Tonya Kappes, for getting her Street Team up and running while raising a family of three busy teens, and Terry Stark (Terry Tyler) for getting back up when she felt overwhelmed wearing all the hats of an indie author. Thank you for your inspiration! Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND!
