An ego boost of a day!

Writers adore praise and recognition, well, I do anyway.

Today my daughter called me from the Barnes & Noble store in the Palisades Mall, West Nyack NY to tell me that she just passed a display and there were copies of Bartlett's Rule on the table!

She said her thoughts were "Hey, that book looks familiar... wait a minute!"

I chuckled but it really does feel good to hear this. And yes folks, the Barnes & Noble Palisades store DOES carry two of my novels, Bartlett's Rule and Forgotten. So please visit them and buy my books!

Also, be sure to mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 14 at 7PM for the Local Authors Night at Barnes & Noble Palisades - I'll be there!

An online article was brought to my attention today - I'm mentioned in it.

It's a terrific article and very helpful to all writers. Please give it a read and DON'T miss my name... How to Write an Excellent First Draft for Novelists, Freelance Writers, & Editors By Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen

Powell's Books located in Oregon is another source for my novels, Bartlett's Rule and Forgotten - you can order them online right here. Or you can go into any of their six locations and if they don't have it on the shelf (please ask them why not?), they can order it for in-store pickup.

Finally, I have been thrilled ever since Shelagh Watkins sent me the link for the Forever Friends anthology - Forever Friends is collection of stories and poems, created by members of the Published Authors Forum on the world wide web and edited by Shelagh. My short story Not Alone is in this fantastic collection. Please check it out.

Put these on your holiday shopping list!

A year in the life of this writer...

September 22nd is an important date as it marks the 100 day countdown of 2008.

So many good things have happened in 2008 as far as my writing goes - I made a wonderful connection with Vanilla Heart Publishing and had my novels Bartlett's Rule and Forgotten published.

I've had the excitement of online interviews, meeting reporters, store book signings and blog talk radio interviews. I've spent hours on the phone with Kimberlee (VHP Managing Editor) brainstorming innovative marketing and promotion methods for my books - Thank goodness for nationwide calling plans!

I have made a lot of terrific friendships and contacts with other writers like Namid, Karen Harrington, Sophia Dembling, Smoky Trudeau, Ryan Callaway, Mary Quast, Malcolm Cambell, Jackie, Zulmara, Esmaa and the complete line of VHP Authors. ...and I know I haven't listed everyone! And I don't have room to list all of the new and re-connected friendships I have made courtesy of MySpace and Facebook.

In addition to the hard print copies of my books, VHP also decided to release them in E-Book versions - get your Bartlett's Rule or Forgotten E-Book now and save shipping and handling, get it immediately and read it at your leisure - you can even resize the print on your computer screen!

So 2008 has been a wonderfully productive year for me - and there are 100 more fantastic days to celebrate. By November, my next romance novel will be available, Within the Law. And I have a few author appearances and book signings scheduled, look for me at the West Nyack NY Barnes & Noble (Palisades Center Mall) on Tuesday October 14 and at Rose Memorial Library in Stony Point NY on Wednesday October 15. There's lots more to come!

I'm so excited...

And I just can't hide it...

Forgotten is an unforgettable romance about two people who meet by chance, love by choice and are torn apart by intrigue.

Buy it off of the shelf...

Rockland County residents can purchase their very own copies of Bartlett's Rule and Forgotten at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in the Palisades Mall, West Nyack NY.



...but don't worry if you aren't near West Nyack in New York - If your local Barnes and Noble store doesn't carry these books on the store shelves (ask them why not?!), ALL Barnes and Noble stores can order the book(s) in for you - just tell them at the Info desk that you want a Chelle Cordero novel.
