Soooooo, this is going in my To-Be-Read pile. This gorgeous book is currently FREE on SwoonReads (Link Below) and has been trending at #1 for a full week. I'm not going to lie, I love multicultural books and when I was reading through reviews, I heard someone compare it to Disney's The Princess and the Frog which is another favorite of mine. https://swoonreads.com/m/fairytaledad/  FREE https://swoonreads.com/m/fairytaledad/ Here's the premise: Summer's wish is to have a dad. But the odds of ever finding her biological father are one in a million. She’s the product of an anonymous sperm donor, an unscrupulous fertility agent and a closed fertility clinic. When Summer’s best friend, Jake, performs an illegal hack for her seventeenth birthday, she’s in for a shocking surprise. All the evidence indicates that her father is Lord Henry Appleton, an English Lord, billionaire and CEO of the most esteemed real estate companies in Lond...

The book is done. The promotions are scheduled. Launch day has arrived.  I'm not sure what I thought this day would feel like. There were so many memorable days that led me to this book launch. The day I completed the first draft. The day I finished editing. The day the proof copy came in. The day I showed my dad the dedication. When I made my first sale. When my first review came in. When the first hardback book came in. When I got my first 1-star review. The day that Gooogle officially classified me as an author. In comparison, today feels sort of ordinary. The calm AFTER the storm. It feels like the end of something rather than the beginning.  Something unusual did happen this morning though. I received a message from a stranger saying that I am now her favorite author. My pre-orders were converted to sales.  My amazing mother threw me a book launch party.  I've spent every waking moment on book promotions and gathering book review...

Here are some of my favorite Kingdom Cold reviews from some of the best bloggers from around the world. <3 "Somehow, I managed to count the major plot twists in the story. Yes! Twist with an 'S'" https://www.heykymmie.com/kingdom-cold-brittni-chenelle/ “KINGDOM COLD is Brittni Chenelle’s answer to ‘How to write something completely alive, fresh and filled with the unexpected!’” http://tometender.blogspot.com/2019/01/kingdom-cold-by-brittni-chenelle.html "Don't read this book. Because once you do, you won't be able to stop and not any kind of cosmic forces would keep your eyes away from it even for a second." http://www.bitesomebooks.com/2019/01/kingdom-cold.html "Get ready for one of the most dazzling YA releases of the year.

Being an Indie Author is really hard. Traditionally published authors have pre-built reviewer teams, a budget for big review sites like NetGalley, and have a reputation for higher quality books. Many reviewers will only accept ARC’s (Advanced Reader Copies) of traditionally published books which limits us even further. However this year I decided to see if given enough time and effort, I could compete with the big guys. It turns out, I can. I hope I can save you some time with this list I’ve compiled. This list does not include any paid reviewers and all of them comply with Amazon’s policies. (Note: I am not sponsored by any of these companies and these are opinions I’ve formed through my own research.)These are in no specific order.  Free Review Companies 1.

I've heard it said that if you can be anything other than a writer-- do it.  But what's so hard about being a writer? Before I became one, I assumed it was a cushy job spent in luxurious cafés sipping coffee and slaying imaginary dragons. If that's true, why does every writer I know refer to the process as utter agony? It's not the patience or dedication to writing every day. It's not the hours spent in solitude or out of touch with reality. It's not even the lack of a steady paycheck. After careful reflection, I've nailed it down to the hardest part. The hardest part of being a writer is believing in yourself . At every stage of the process you find yourself face to face with this obstacle. You question whether you're good enough. You're scared to show anyone your book. You're crushed by every bad review. Not only are you not making any money, you're SPENDING money. Editing, cover design, advertising-- it all costs HUGE money with...

5 FUN FACTS ABOUT BRITTNI CHENELLE 1. She lives in South Korea. It's true. She does most of her updates in the morning or at night to account for the time difference. She also infuses most of her novels with her observations about Korean culture. 2. She's a Type 1 Diabetic. She uses an insulin pump for survival and refers to her diabetes as "Beetie" which is what inspired her children's book "Life with Beetie". When she wants something from her parents she tells them, "My Beetie hurts." It's a trick that has never failed her.  3. She doesn't really BELIEVE in fiction. Despite all the; Dragons, Elves, and Magic present in her novel "Involuted the Tale of the Red Ribbon Tree", Brittni INSISTS that it's a true story. 4. She's OBSESSED with dark chocolate.
