Relationships and Social Media Never End Well

Haley and Cam Prequel Story Now Available!

Finally! A new installment in the Haley and Cam series!
This 50 page prequel starts before "You Heard It Here First" and is a look into Haley's life before she met Cam. It's based on my personal experiences in Haiti, with a lot of truth, and a lot of fiction thrown in. Any characters with similarities to real persons living or dead are merely coincidental. Although I did name many of the characters after my real life cohorts that I served with.
The book cover is of me with one of the little "Haitian Princesses" I met in the pediatrics tent at Generale Hospital.
It was cathartic for me to use this short story as a way to tell my experiences in Haiti in a personal, yet objective and unemotional way. The story definitely comes from a special place in my heart and is an experience I've long wanted to share.
I hope you enjoy this standalone prequel. (You don't need to have read the other 2 books for this one to make sense.) And I hope it holds you over and gets you excited for the next book, "Coming Up Next" to be finished and released in the fall.

Get it for just 99 cents on Amazon today!

Links and reviews of each available book below. 

The Agency: A Novella

"This speedy read tells one young go-getter's adventures as she works in the ad/tech world for a woman who is in the running for the Worst Boss Ever award. It had me holding my breath and flying through the pages wondering how (and if!) Anne Marie was ever going to escape the stinging of this Portuguese Man o' War. Fun novella-length story--not a lot of depth, but just a great beach or airplane read." 

This Just In 

"I love these books and I can't put them down! I read the first one in two days and laughed, was in awe of the suspense, and felt smarter by the end of it. Definitely ideal for Book Club Books and summer beach reading!" 

But if you get "This Just In!" don't forget it's the second book in the series. You'll want to get "You Heard It Here First" as well!

You Heard It Here First

"I had read articles by this author for Meridian Magazine and always enjoyed her sense of humor and down to earth take on modern life, so I jumped at the chance to read her book. It was fun and fast from start to finish and left me wanting more. It is rare to find a "clean" love story that isn't preachy in any way. Who says being moral and honest has to be boring? Not Erin Ann McBride! I have already purchased the next Haley and Cam book and hope there will be many more in the series."

If you've already purchased or read one of these books, have you left a review on Amazon yet? Reviews of self-published books really do make a huge difference in sales for the author. Please take a minute to go leave a few stars and comments for me!

You can download it for free between now and July 3, or procrastinate and pay $2.99 after that. 

(And really, I don't mind if you wait and pay!) 

Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ has never been easier. This book was written to help bishops, ward mission leaders, stake presidents, stake public affairs directors, mission presidents, and every day member missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, learn to navigate and appreciate the potential of social media in their missionary efforts.
Explanations, ideas, and strategies are provided on how to incorporate Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and other networks into Mormon missionary efforts.
This ebook makes it easy for even social media beginners to effectively share the gospel online.

But wait! There's more!
I decided to make ALL of my books free on Amazon this week!

I've updated both, "Increase e-Book Sales with Social Media Marketing" and "You Heard It Here First." In fact, "You Heard It Here First," has been heavily edited and is about 80 pages shorter than before! (Which is a crazy load of work, I tell you!)

Channeling Creativity

I feel like all I ever do is complain about how exhausted I am. I'm sure no one wants to hear that, but really, it's true. I'm exhausted. Yesterday I woke up early to attend 8 a.m. church, turned off the alarm, put my head back down, and slept for 5 more hours. I never even got out of bed yesterday except to walk the dog a few times. I took a few naps plus went to bed early.
You could say I was a little bit tired!
But today I feel like I'm almost back in the game. Or maybe I've just finally accepted that I will have to live with this level of exhaustion? Either way, I'm good to go.
I've joined a new writing group which has helped me get more organized and motivated to finish writing book 3 in the Haley and Cam series. It will be titled, "Coming Up Next!" to continue the news theme. This book takes a bit of a departure from the pacing and day to day style of the past two books. But we get to know Cam and Haley in ways we haven't seen them before. I think Haley and Cam fans will like this unexpected twist to the story and storyline.
It is nice to feel creative and motivated to write again. It isn't a skill I can just turn on and off like some people can do. I have to be in a creative mind set with few distractions in order to write fiction. I've tried to just churn out material before, and it is always a disappointment, and gets tossed out before long. But balancing day to day life makes it hard for me to flip the switch to the right brain and channel my creativity.

Thank you!

I almost forgot to thank everyone for all their support last week!
 

"You Heard It Here First" made it to the #2 Political Fiction Bestseller (free) on Amazon!!

The very next day, "This Just In!" made it to #5 on the Political Fiction Bestseller list (free)!

 

And "Increase E-Book Sales with Social Media Marketing" made it to #4 in its respective genre!
 
Each of my books were promoted on different days and given away for free during the promotion, which is how they got so much sudden attention. "You Heard It Here First" was downloaded/purchased over 1,500 times in just 3 days!! "This Just In!" didn't get quite as many downloads, but still broke 1,000 as well!

It was very exciting for me to see my books get so much traction and to see them at the top of the lists so unexpectedly!! And it's even more fun to see sales improve so much this week as a result of the promotions last week!

Thank you again to everyone for your support and shared excitement!

OH!
And did I mention?
My book, "Increase E-Book Sales With Social Media Marketing" is the #4 bestseller in its genre too?!
(hey, talk about credibility! One of my e-books is #2 and the other is #4- I'd say maybe, just maybe, I know what I am talking about!)

I'm going to fall asleep a very happy writing girl tonight!

This is one of the best days on the books ever!

I'd give my left leg to not write this post

I'm sitting on the couch with my laptop burning my left leg. Why the left leg? I don't know. But that is the side of the laptop that gets hot and eventually starts to burn my leg. Thankfully this doesn't happen too often, only after I've been working on my computer for at least 12 hours.
Yes, I have been working on this thing for 12 straight hours. (No wonder I'm so hungry.)

I've resumed job hunting after a month long break. (Why a month break? Because it took less than a month for me to remember why I wanted to get a "real" job again, and then another week to talk myself into putting myself through this misery again.) Every time I have a job interview they inevitably ask, "So why do you want to leave self-employment and go back to work?"

And every time I hear that question I want to tell the truth, "Because I'm sick and tired of working 12 hour days that result in barely more than minimum wage. And it wouldn't be "going back to work." I've never had to work so hard in my life, for such a small payoff."

Days like today are why I want to "go back to work." There is one more very big reason why I am tired of self-employment- I am sick and tired of having to promote and sell myself! I would so much rather market another person or company. Marketing and selling yourself all day is just tiresome! Not to mention, a complete ego-killer. Except on the days it goes well. Then it's a big ego-boost.

But I'm not in this (this being gainful employment) for the ego-boost. I'm in it for the paycheck!

Speaking of paychecks, there is a stinkbug climbing along the ceiling over me. I can't reach it, not even with a broom. I know, I tried. And while I was up I got an ice pack to put on my left leg, under the laptop. It may be time for me to give in and buy a new computer. But to do that, I'm going to afford a new laptop, I'm going to have to several more extra projects. And that means more time burning my left leg. How much can my little left leg take?

And that people, is why I have resumed my job search.

And why you are feeling an overwhelming urge to save me a few hours of work tonight, and go buy my books- "You Heard It Here First" and the sequel "This Just In!"

Need Something to Read?

"This Just In!" is available on Kindle and Nook for just $4. And for a limited time, "You Heard It Here First" is available for $1 (Kindle and Nook) as well. If you don't have a Kindle or Nook, you can still read e-books courtesy of Smashwords!

I'm looking for some book reviewers. I can't/won't pay for a review, but I will send you the e-book for free. (Or both books if you haven't read the first one yet!) In exchange, I ask for your honest and fair review to be left on a few different sites (doesn't have to be a blog). If you are interested, send me an email! erinannie at yahoo

Thanks!

Adventures in Self-Publishing

I finished and published "This Just In" a few weeks ago. Shortly after that I bought and downloaded my own book, so I could see it on my Nook. Funny thing happened.
It wasn't right.
The first paragraph of the first chapter was wrong.
So I went to Amazon and checked, and to Smashwords, and every other way possible. Somehow I had managed to publish the draft version of my book! And not the final copy!!
Don't ask me how it happened. It's a long story. A lot of it has to do with always trying to do writing and publishing stuff in my "free" time, which tends to happen after midnight. You know what else happens after midnight? Mistakes. Not to mention, it was a result of originally publishing unedited serial editions, group sourcing the edits, compiling them into one, and somehow accidentally not paying attention to the thing I swear I pay great attention to, and probably just giving files stupid names. Really, it was probably all because of the file names, and then deleting the old files, because at one time I had about 15 different files of the same book, and it was getting confusing.
I have spent the last 2-3 weeks re-editing my book all over again. (So not fun.) This was a TON of work. And I raised the price of the published version so that no one would want to buy it, and did nothing to promote it. Thereby hopefully reducing the chances of anyone buying the embarrassingly bad published version!
(I hang my head in shame!)
But the good news is that the newly revised and edited version is now up and running again! (And the crowd goes wild!) A few tiny discrepancies were fixed in addition to the grammar.  (For instance, I corrected Hank's age between books 1&2. No one called me out on it (thankfully it's an incredibly minor detail), but with the details given in the two books, he would have been over 100 years old. Oops. You know what else no one called me out on? (And this one cracks me up. And also makes me think I can't trust any of those people who claimed they edited it!) Some of my funnier phonetic mistakes. I do most of my writing really late at night. And sometimes I get sleepy while I write and make really odd mistakes, most of them phonetic. I think the best one I found in the book was that I typed coffin instead of often. And no one told me. You know what mistake I never made though? There/their/they're and your/you're. Another mistake I make and have to double-check no matter what time of day I wrote it- passed/past. And my high school French teacher would be proud to know that I was consistent in writing blonde for a girl, and blond for a boy. Even though in English all that matters is that you pick one and stick with it.)

This Just In!

The Haley and Cam Series, Book 2

By Erin Ann McBride

Haley Jo McAdams’ life is a modern-day fairytale! She has the perfect boyfriend in Camden Morrison, a great job, friends, and success.
But no good deed can go unpunished! A new scandal has left Cam’s career and reputation on the line, just as Haley’s takes off. Should she stand by her man or defend her own reputation?
Pirates, death, kidnapping, love, marriage, and babies- is Haley’s life a fairytale or a complete nightmare?

Cry Uncle! (and buy my books!)

Almost exactly one year after I begged for mercy and declared a personal hiatus from life, I'm doing it again.
No more job hunting- or at least not active and aggressive job hunting. There are a few leads still out there and I will continue to follow through with those. And if a great opportunity finds me, I'll pursue it. But otherwise, my ego, psyche, and broken, jaded, little heart need a break.
This hiatus comes as a huge relief for me and gives me the personal mental freedom I need to make other commitments and move on. There are other opportunities and options around me that I have not taken advantage of because I was always afraid that I might be about to accept a job and move away.
And so it is I cry uncle, and move on in a different direction with my life.
I don't regret this. If anything it comes with a great deal of relief. I'd rather be happy with what I have- or work to be happy with what I have- than always be telling myself I could do better if others would just let me. I prefer to be the one who determines my own happiness!
Just 48 hours into this decision and I've already looked at plane tickets for another humanitarian vacation, made inquiries into musical activities, and joined a dance class for adults. See? Already happier and more active!
And... I've already started to work on a brand new book (as well as continue working on Book 3 in the Haley and Cam series, "Coming Up Next").
Which reminds me! The final section of Book 2, "This Just In," will be ready sometime next week. (The full book will also be sold as one unit starting next week too.) Have you read parts 1-3 yet?
(PS- Does anyone use iTunes/iBooks for buying/downloading books? I haven't had any request that I make my books available that way, but I'm curious if I should.) (Also, if you haven't checked out Smashwords.com yet as a way to find and purchase books, I highly recommend it!)

You Heard It Here First (Book 1)
From the moment girl-next-door Haley McAdams met America's Favorite News Reporter Camden Morrison, her life hasn't been the same. Suddenly she has everything she ever wanted- love, money, and career success. But can she handle the pressures that come with it? One day she's a financial blogger, the next, a TV expert on a political scandal. Her on-air epiphanies and liberated writing style have landed some powerful men in hot water, and there are consequences to pay. Just as her career takes off, so does her love life. But the memories of her past make it hard to accept the good things around her. Is her rich and famous boyfriend the real reason for her new success? Does he really love her? Or does he have an ulterior motive too? Haley is a good girl from a loving family and traditional values, but she knows her way around the world of finance and politics. She may be virtuous, but she is not naïve. And if there is one thing she has learned, it is that the love of money is the root of all evil.

Looking for something good to read?
I have a few suggestions! In fact, I have more than a few suggestions, I have an entire website full of them!
Go check out my new website www.MormonBooksandAuthors.com. It is a free service to the writers (and the readers). I created it as a way for LDS writers to share their books (both mainstream and Mormon oriented) with their target audience. Not all Mormons can get to a Deseret Bookstore. And not all LDS authors get carried by Deseret Book! And many LDS authors have started to self-publish, and you rarely find those books in a major bookstore. So how do readers find the latest books from their favorite authors if the authors aren't in the bookstores?
Through www.MormonBooksandAuthors.com.
Go check it out! There is everything from chick lit to Relief Society lessons to vampires and the paranormal to financial planning!

And while I'm talking about books-
I just finished reading "The Litigators" by John Grisham this weekend. I was listening to it on CD as I made a couple of long car trips recently. I reached a point where I really wanted to focus on the book and finish it, but couldn't spend enough time in the car. (At which point I realized I don't have a CD player in my house anymore, except for my DVD player, and I hate using that as my CD player. When did that happen??) I found myself sitting in the car for 20 minutes on Sunday just to keep listening to the book. That is when it occurred to me to just go download it on my Nook. A few minutes later (okay an hour later because it took me forever to get the fire started), I was sitting in front of the fire, curled up in a blanket, with a cup of hot chocolate, reading the book on my Nook. This is the joys of an e-reader. You want it? You got it! For the first time in years I sat and relaxed and read a book for over five hours. It was glorious. I forgot how wonderful it feels to just disappear into a book! And it was a great book too! Grisham legal novels can be a bit formulaic, but they are always entertaining and provide an interesting point of view on the legal profession.  Maybe it's just because I'm a law school drop out that I find them so fascinating and jaded. Either way, I love it, and this book did not disappoint. I predicted the ending by the end of the second chapter, but that was okay. It was still a fun and surprising read to get to the predictable ending.

I also read "Sudden Darkness" by Margot Hovley recently. It is billed as Young Adult, end of the world, LDS fiction. And that's a very accurate way to describe it. The plot would appeal to the young adult audience (there's a pop star, a high school romance, and a girl with an independent streak), but at the same time it makes references to several things I felt most young adults would not fully understand. It would be better billed as a YA book that would appeal more to adults to like to read YA still. Except even then the material is just a little too low-brow or easy to really keep an adult engaged. I read the whole thing in one sitting. Okay, not true. It took me 4 or 5 tries to get past the first 10 pages. And then I finally sat down and read the whole book at once. Maybe 3 hours? It isn't a very long book, which is another of my complaints. I believe the story is supposed to take place over about a 2 month period. The first 14 days are probably 90% of the book! And then right as it gets to the climax (they found the bomb and now must alert the others!), the author hits the fast forward button! (He raced off into the night! He came back the next day and told us everything was okay!) Um, thanks for not letting us actually experience the exciting part! That was a huge disappointment. And then there was a very sudden almost conclusion, that just dropped off. The book is clearly set up for a sequel, and that also annoyed me because the book was so short. Splitting it up into 2 books is just the publisher being greedy. It could very easily have just been one book. Also, the book cover artwork is incredibly misleading and uninformative. Definitely taught me a lesson about judging a book by its cover.
All that said, I didn't totally dislike the book. I liked the idea of an end of the world novel written from an LDS perspective. And the way "the world ends" wasn't too incredibly far-fetched. (Except for the part where I had to completely suspend my disbelief that a nuclear power plant wouldn't have a back up power generator or safety system.) I did actually like the book. It's just hard to find a way to explain that without having to trip over the parts I didn't like. I have already loaned the book to one of my YW that loves to read. I'm hoping to hook her on LDS fiction, which she's never tried before.

And last but not least, don't forget to buy and read "This Just In" part 2, because part 3 will be coming out next Monday!
Here's a funny thought for you about the world of book writing and selling. I published "You Heard It Here First" back in late August. As expected, it sold quite a few copies in September, and has dropped off each month since then. "This Just In" Part 1 published in December, and part 2 in January. Part 1 and Part 2 are selling just fine, or at least where I expected them to sell in this serial format. But much to my surprise, I will most likely sell more copies of "You Heard It Here First" in January than of the other 2 combined! It won't be as many copies as sold in September, but it will be more than the other months since then. It's strange how these things play out. I never expected that. I also never expected paperbacks to sell so poorly. There have been so few sales of the paperbacks that I'm not sure I will bother to do "This Just In" in paperback at all.
Oh and I have the name of the next sequel (the third book in the trilogy- not the part 3 of the serial). I do believe it will be named, "Coming Up Next."

This Just In! 2.2

The second section of the serialized sequel is set to sell!
(I just really like saying that.)

Part Two of THIS JUST IN! is now available for $1.99 on Amazon! (Nook coming soon.)

When we last left Haley and Cam, Cam had endured and succeeded in a very tense first meeting with Haley's father. The couple was discussing marriage, but Haley was beginning to have doubts.
Big questions are resolved, but as Haley learns, life goes on and more questions are always asked!

Mormon Authors - my newest project!

A few weeks ago I got an email from one of the most popular Mormon fiction writers currently on the market. She's a friend of mine and she recently self-published a few new books. She lamented to me some of the difficulties she was having getting the word out to her fan base that she had this new book out there. Without the resources of her usual commercial publisher, she didn't know how to reach her fans.
I wrote her back and told her I knew exactly how she felt. Getting my self-published books discovered beyond my own circle of friends and family has been quite frustrating as well.
Much to my surprise less than two weeks later I got an email from another very popular LDS writer. It was the same story. He had also decided to self-publish his latest work, and was trying to find ways to get the word out to his audience.
That's when it hit me- it wasn't just me. It wasn't just her, or him. We all had the same problem. How do you spread the word about your new book [beyond your own circle of friends] without spending so much money on advertising that you lose money on the book?
I stewed on this idea for a few days before the BIG IDEA hit me.
What we needed was a website, a clearinghouse, a bookstore without a store, or books, where readers could find out about the latest books (particularly the self-published ones) from their favorite authors.
And so I got to work making that happen.
I am very happy to launch my new site today!  
MORMON AUTHORS - e-books by LDS writers!
I've reached out to a few writers I had information for, and I've had dozens of writers contact me as the word has gotten out. I've already managed to get over 50 books listed on the site- books that most readers wouldn't have found out about otherwise! I'm excited to offer this service both to the writers and to the readers. The writers have desperately needed a place to share their books, and this is a much easier way for readers to find out about books.
So go check it out and I hope you discover (and buy) some fun new books!!

This Just In (part two)

Guess what will be coming out in just a few more days? 

What will you find in Part Two?

The Big Question about whether or not Haley is ready for marriage/engagement is answered.
And that's all you really wanted to know, right?
But why is Cam standing in front of a vault on the cover? You'll just have to read it to find out!

Have you read "This Just In! Part One" yet? Get it on Kindle or Nook for $1.99.
