Hi all, 
          	the holiday season is coming closer, starting with Thanksgiving. But that's only one part of the world. There'll be the Chinese New Year, Eid Mubarak next year and so much more. To help celebrate, I've joined a group of authors who offer FREE ebooks.  NOT on Wattpad this time, but I thought I should mention it anyway. If you're interested, just click on the link at the end of this message.
          	Please note - tyou will be required to leave an email address, so the authors can include you in their newsletters. Of course, you can unsubscribe afterwards. But maybe, if you like a book, you might want to know more from the author. It's up to you and here's the link

To all the spammers hitting my novels - I know you won't read this, but I say it anyway.  I will never use the services of someone who spams my novels to advertise their services. Instead, you'll be reported. Yeah, I know. Bots. Why do I bother. I'm piddling in the wind. But whoever does this is a sad excuse for a human being. Just wanted you to know that. Byeeee!

@lhansenauthor Yes, I have also stepped away from wattpad. I check in now and again to make sure that the 10% samples of my books (here for promotional purposes) are not spammed. This year I published another Romantic Comedy (my 9th novel!) and wait for it...a Cookbook. I have also spent a lot of time on audio edits for the Audible.com versions of each novel.
            Cheers, JC

@WillFlyForFood Sorry, I never got a notification for this one! Now, hookups aren't anything I got recently. Looks like we all have our personal bugbear. How's life and writing going? I'm busy with self pubbing, so I'm rarely around these days.

WillFlyForFood

@lhansenauthor Lina, could be worse. Most of my new wattpad "followers" are looking for online hookups...

Yay, my first self-pubbed novel, "Spelled in Ink", a cozy mystery fantasy, is now available for pre-order on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPBJHC8V?ref_=pe_93986420_775043100
          A Dark Witch. An Art Thief. And an Invisible Killer. Can you resist?

@lyttlejoe Oh hey, great to hear from you! I'm still with a lot of Wattpad authors, but in offline channels. I know you don't like them, but if you ever change your mind, just drop me a note and I'll send you an invite. You're being missed!

          Hello,
          Just the old guy strolling through the WP library and stopping at familiar addresses to offer good wishes. Hope the writing is successful and the health and happiness tenfold.
          (Don't forget to laaugh)

lhansenauthor

@lyttlejoe Hi there! Thanks for stopping by and for the good wishes. I wish you likewise. I seem to be more editing than writing these days, but I enjoy that. Easier to fix what is there... Boring, ey. Take care, Lina

"Out of Body" the third Magical Misfits mystery will be published on Amazon on 1 July. I'lll be running a couple of promos. So, if you're looking for a freebie, now is the time to follow me on my website...

lhansenauthor

@WillFlyForFood Hiya, it took a while to get an editor assigned, but once we started the process was remarkably quick.

WillFlyForFood

@lhansenauthor Awesome, did it take a little gentle persuasion to certain publishing professionals to get things rolling?

Hi, Claudia!
          It's me, Ana (from Portugal) 
          How have you been doing? 
          After many months (or a couple of years already maybe), stopped by to check on the platform, to see who's still active.

lhansenauthor

@AnaSimons Hey!!! So great to hear from you. How's life? I've actually stopped working and I'm writing and marketing a lot more. My third book will come out in July and another one, the romance, hopefully in September. This year I won't get much writing done, LOL. We visited Porto and North Portugal last year. Absolutely adored it. We walked parts of the Caminho. Are you really only writing for business? What about your own works? Are you on FB or anywhere else where one can chat a bit easier? Im not on WP a lot either these days, but I do check my notifs - as you can see.

AnaSimons

Hope everything is alright with you.
            Lovely that you're still writing  :-)  I still write a lot, but quite boring stuff, for work.
            Liebe Grüsse aus dem Süden,
            Ana

Hi, a quick warning - for technical reasons I unpublished my Avebury Witches novels until further notice, since I need to clarify something with my publisher. I had permission to keep these first drafts on Wattpad at the time, but I need to ensure this is still the case. Thanks for your understanding!

WillFlyForFood

@lhansenauthor Things are going quite well. I have 8 novels published all on Amazon.com In December, I published all of them in paperback format (print on demand) and in January took advantage of publishing audiobooks on Audible.com (which is of course now owned by Amazon) using a Virtual Reader (robot). In the last 90 days I have sold 500 books and 60,000 pages borrowed by Kindle and Audible subscribers ( I get US$ 0.45/100 pages).

lhansenauthor

@WillFlyForFood Thank you very much, that's definitely something I could do!!! How is it going with the publishing?
Responder

WillFlyForFood

@lhansenauthor I have used the 10% rule. I keep the first few chapters, up to 10% up on wattpad as part of my marketing campaign. I do make sure that the watty chapters of my published books are NOT the final versions. Don't know if this helps. Cheers. J

Hi and a happy, peaceful New Year to all of you. May it be better than the one before, but then I always say that. I hope to be publishing TWO novels this year on Amazon, "Out of Body", the third instalment in the Magical Mystery series and "Spirits of Gascony", a paranormal Romcom. I'll let you know when we get closer. In the meantime, there are still plenty of great stories to be found on Wattpad. I recently found @JimHeter's marvellous and thoughtful SciFi and Magic mashups (is that even the right moniker? Probably not). I read "Eye of the Beholder" and I can really recommend it. https://www.wattpad.com/653978582-eye-of-the-beholder-prologue. But there's plenty more where this came from. Enjoy and all the best to you.

            Thanks for the mention. Much appreciated.

You asked for links. You might start here:
          https://www.wattpad.com/1172260164-sequels-and-other-works-sequels-to-and-we-will 
          And We Will Have Snow is sort of my Magnum Opus, dealing with what to do with a world caught up in climate change.
          But to get to where our story lines are similar, you could start with the first sequel, here:
          https://www.wattpad.com/653978582-eye-of-the-beholder-prologue 
          Again, you may want to skip the prologue if it looks too tedious.
          Then, if you really want to cut to the chase, to see where our story lines converge, skip all the way to Part 3, here:
          https://www.wattpad.com/701982558-eye-of-the-beholder-chapter-3-5-annunaki 
          After that (or before) if you want to start where it all begins, that would be here:
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/300393133-the-lamia 
          and here: 
          https://www.wattpad.com/1197559924-the-stag-horned-man-part-1-double-vision 
          I hope that actually helps.  : )

Are you reading "The Lost Cradle" on the Science Fiction profile? For if you're not, you should. Chapter 14 is up and it's the one that freaked all the contributing authors most. Why? Well, scoot across and find out. I'm giving you one hint - the spiders are not what you should be afraid of... https://www.wattpad.com/1400932312-lost-cradle-a-writer%27s-relay-project-chapter-14
