Am I Tinkerbell?
What keeps going through my mind is the fairy Tinkerbell in Peter Pan and how she just fades away to nothing without applause & attention. I kind of feel that way about book sales... the author in me comes alive as long as there are book sales but they are so hard to get sometimes that I feel like I just fade away, all depressed, without them. Thankfully I got a few this week, so I am still alive and happy. Tink! Tink!
One thing that led to book sales this week is that the second book of the Cyborg Dreams Trilogy is now officially published! A few awesome friends and family members were the first to buy from Amazon. I made a rush order with the publisher to have some paperbacks for ACE Comic Con, where the very first signed copies will be available to the public. I got mine in today. <:^D Shiny! Spectacular! More to come in the next blog about when and where the party will be to celebrate. I suggest you get the book now and start reading because I plan to have a trivia for those that have read the first two books with awesome prizes for the winners at the party.
Cyborg Dreams: The Buried Past has arrived!
Another thing that happened this week was that I got to meet 16 other authors at an Indie Author Event with Brick & Mortar Books. Some of the authors were 10 year old girls writing about getting along with others at school and some were weathered older men writing about the wild west. I sold a few books and signed a few copies, and it made me feel like a celebrity. I think I even made a few friends, and definitely jumped up the numbers on my Twitter followers thanks to the efforts and talents of Stephanie Collins, a fabulous writer and avid tweeter. One of the authors, Kim Hornsby, will be getting her books turned into movies and is even teaching a workshop at the Pacific Northwest Writers Academy Conference in September. Of course I plan to attend. I wrote the Cyborg Dreams novels as if they were action adventure movies in my head and would absolutely love to have them on the big screen one day.

What else happened this week you ask? Well, I went from learning about how to make digital print t-shirts to creating a design shop in Zazzle. Who'd of thunk it? It's all part of the author journey. I didn't like the quality of the ones I printed myself after they were washed, so I went to the professionals. Now You can get t-shirts and mugs from Zazzle with the Cyborg Dreams design my sister Crystal (who is a professional artist) helped me design. Everything is under $25 and you can get them for 15% off if you use the code ZSUMMERSALEZ. If you like the design and want to show off something neat & unique, they're a great deal!
