Tina Boscha

I just completed my first Goodreads giveaway, with nearly 800 people signing up for it, despite 99% of them not having any idea of my book. Which, of course, is why authors do giveaways - to attract attention to the book at hand.  I’m committed to the long haul with this book; sales are slow and maybe they will be for awhile. But right now I have three new readers who I’m sending books to today. To the winners, congratulations! I hope you are all folks just like me - regular people who never win anything in any sort of contest, so when you do, it’s AMAZING. And more importantly, I hope you love the book.

Amid the giveaway, I got in touch with a lovely blogger, Tina Lane of Girl with a New Life. She describes her blog this way: “GirlwithaNewLife.com is a culture and lifestyle blog that celebrates the stories of women, celebrates chick culture, and follows me on my own path toward becoming a better writer and a better woman. I invite you to join the conversation, because life is rich with new beginnings for all of us.”

I love that she features story of women realizing their dreams, and am thrilled that my own story will be featured there tomorrow! (November 16, to be exact).  Please hop on over there tomorrow or Thursday (Nov. 16 and Nov. 17), read a bit more about my road to publishing, and leave a comment. ***Tina will be picking two random comments who will receive a free ebook copy of River in the Sea.*** The contest will be closed by early Friday morning.

You should also just hang out over there. The blog is a great mix of writing, inspiration, and culture. Plus, her name is Tina and there just aren’t a lot of Tinas in the world. :-)
