Thank you. There, I said it.
You all made this year so great.
I didn’t fulfill my dream of making the New York Times bestseller list, but I did become a bestseller on Amazon with my holiday romance.
I wrote a Christmas story called Journey of the Magi that the Wild Rose Press published. In the process I met a group of helpful, nice editors for the Sweetheart line as well as working with Amanda Barnett my Black Rose editor. (We’re editing book three in the Rhodes End series)
With their help I stretched into a whole new area. In the process of organizing for the free days I had so much help from friends and colleagues all over the internet.
I was overwhelmed with the professional, yet friendly way that authors offered to host me on their blogs. Tweets went out over the internet from so many, I lost count. FaceBook shares helped, too.
Thanks to those who downloaded my book.
And reviews. OMG, the reviews from so many who enjoyed my book surprised me so much. I cried more with happiness more than I’ve cried before. I hope you take the time to read them and smile with me. http://amzn.com/B00ES5DZEQ
With a lot of help I learned about hootsuite, free sites that listed my book, and street teams. You know who you are. Thanks.
I’m wishing that every one of you has the Happiest Christmas, Hanukah, or your holiday of choice.
Last but not least. Hugs and kisses to my son, William who is webmaster for my website, and thanks to my daughters-in-law for being my street team. I love you all.
God bless you, one and all.
Love Barbara
Journey of the Magi

She promised her kids a home for Christmas, but a junker car, a Minnesota blizzard and no money has her finding the man of her dreams. Can she keep her promise? A Christmas love story to warm your heart. Journey of the Magi http://amzn.com/B00ES5DZEQ
