Recommendations from The Troupe

written by Betsy Flak on 2017-07-11

One thing I'm always looking for is my next really-great, can't-put-it-down-for-even-a-second, oops-I-forgot-to-eat book. And I'm sure that's true of my readers too--after all, that's one thing we share: a love of books and stories.

However, I'm not the fastest reader by any stretch of the imagination, so I can't always get through all the book recommendations I receive (and certainly not in a timely manner). So I thought I would periodically gather them all, then pass them on to you, my readers! After all, you may--ok, probably--read more books than I do.

Without further ado, here are the books Troupe members have recommended to me over the past few months:

July 2017 Goals + 90-Day Goals

written by Betsy Flak on 2017-06-26

All right, so we're doing this one a bit early, mostly because the timing works out better this way. Essentially, I worked my fingers to the bone getting ready for the launches of The Impossible Creation, The Unleashed Creation, and The Impossible Adventure and then supporting them, so I had to take last week off to recover (more on that below). So now I'm ready to work on the next books, but I need a plan first! Because that's how my brain works.

Launch Results: Day Two + Launch Bonuses Closing!

written by Betsy Flak on 2017-06-16

Day two of the launch is over, and The Unleashed Creation is still going strong! By the end of the yesterday, it cracked the top 1000 free (#585) on Amazon-US and the top 500 free (#480) on Amazon-Canada!

The launch of The Impossible Creation hasn't been going quite as well, but I did wake up to this:

The Impossible Creation Launch Results: Day One

written by Betsy Flak on 2017-06-15

Let it be known: I'm a data nerd. I love it, I obsess over it, I collect way more than I should (and spend way more time collecting it than I should). Nothing can stop me!

And so, just over one day into the launch of The Impossible Creation and The Unleashed Creation, I'm going to share some results from Amazon.

It's Launch Day!

The Impossible Creation Book Review!

Guess what? The first book review is in for the The Impossible Creation.

Drum roll please...

The Impossible Creation Playlist (plus a little patting myself on the back)

written by Betsy Flak on 2017-05-15

Woo! I finally finished the final readthrough of The Impossible Creation! There were times when I was ready to chuck the whole thing in the fireplace and when it seemed like I would never ever ever be free of it. But now I am!

I mean, sort of. I'll probably read over it one last time in a couple weeks, just to be 1000% sure there aren't any glaring typos. But the vast majority of the work is done, and now it's off in the hands of The Certain Cell (my advance readers group). For the rest of the month and into June, I'll focus on preparing the launch bonuses and working on the business-end of things. Although, I am itching to get back to book 1 (An Uncertain Death).
