I was hit with news this week that flipped my email marketing upside-down. A new law is going into affect on May 25. There are new rules for email marketing and that includes newsletters. Authors are in a tizzy. Readers are frustrated. I've already head from a few that are already sick of getting ''opt in' or 'consent' letters through their email stating they have to sign up again or lose the newsletter. A lot of them are throwing up their hands in surrender. They have decided to go without the newsletters. I don't blame them. 

The law itself is complicated with so many rules. I get it that we have to fix it so people signing up, but we have to make sure our old subscribers are compliant with the law. Ridiculous. I tried to fix it, but it got so complicated. I spent hours on the internet reading about the new rules and trying to fix my list. Didn't happen. Waste of time.

So I am dumping my old list and starting over. I am asking subscribers to sign up again. Those that really love my books will, and I guess those are the only people I want on my list anyway. 

If you are one of those frustrated with the influx of newsletters asking you to subscribe again, just remember this. We, the authors, did not make this law. It is also a hassle to us. Maybe even more so since we have to learn the law, fix our list, and make new newsletter sign up forms. Thank you for patience.

Yes, I know this book has been a long time in coming. For some reason it's been difficult to write. Might be because I've been sick off and on for months now. I got the flu twice. That makes writing hard. It makes doing anything hard. But I feel great now, and I've been working on the book every day. 

Want a sneak peek?

Join my Facebook group, Team Blake, and you will find a link to the first chapter. Also, I ask the group for their opinions on stuff like: What should I name this character? Which opening for this book do you like the best? Do you prefer happy endings or ones that are bittersweet? If you want to be heard, join us HERE.

I will be giving them the first look at the new cover soon.

Join us. We'd love to have you.

Have you ever checked the reviews on Amazon for your favorite book? I did. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare has over four thousand reviews. The book has sold over a  million copies. Twilight has double that, and we've all heard of this series, even people who aren't interested in reading it. The first book only has about eight thousand reviews. That's ridiculous. It should at least have twenty thousand. But people don't want to leave reviews. Why? I have no idea. As a writer I have tried a variety of things to get reviews for my books. The most important thing I did was to add a reminder in the back matter of my book asking for reviews. I put a polite note in there and even added the link so all a reader has to do is click on it. Still, I only have a smattering of reviews. You may be thinking, so what? Why are reviews important?

1. Reviews can improve my book's placement so others will see it. If your book is not on the first few pages, it won't be seen. Readers typically only scan the first few pages when they are searching for a book.

2. Reviews can help get a book on lists like Hot New Releases.

3. People won't buy books if they don't have reviews. 

4. A review can convince a reader to either get the book or pass on it.

5. Reviews can let the other know what the readers like or didn't like about their book. That helps with future writing projects.

There are other reasons, but these are the top ones. If you love a book or even just really like it, please consider leaving a review for that author. More reviews mean I can spend more time writing and less time marketing. Plus, I love to hear what people think of my books. Writing is such a solitary job. It's nice to get feedback.

I got the flu the day before Christmas, and I was sick for weeks. Family members also got it, but they were over it in one week. Somehow I think I caught it multiple times. Every time I started to feel better my symptoms returned. Needless to say, being sick has not helped with writing. I couldn't even stand to think about my work-in-progress while I was feeling ill.

Good news: I am currently working on two books simultaneously. I have no idea which will be finished and released first. Kind of exciting.

4-Ever Cursed is the second in my Vampires Rule spin-off. 

Cursed by a Grimm is the first in a new fairy-tale like series. 

Check in once in a while, and I will keep you updated.

This book will be free if you are a part of the KU program.
