I've had a busy week. LOST INNOCENCE released last Tuesday. To me, it felt like this book has been on the market forever (probably since I've written two more books since this one), but only for pre-order. Now you can actually read it. Yay! Here's the link to Amazon. Hint. Hint. Reviews are welcome! I got a bunch from NetGalley, but they haven't put them up on Amazon. The good news is everyone seems to like it.
I also had a BookBub ad for EVERY MOVE SHE MAKES on the same day. The magic of BookBub is a wondrous thing. I got down to #117 in overall rankings on Amazon before it started moving up again. I'm still hanging in the #5000 range a week later. The other two books in that series are selling well, too. Yippee!
But back to LOST INNOCENCE... My mom found copies in her local Walmart! I know it's out in Barnes & Noble, but BURIED TRUTH was not picked up by Walmart when it released last February. If you happen to wander into your local Walmart, can you let me know if you see LOST INNOCENCE there (or in any other store)? Photos are welcome! If distribution is widespread, that's a whole lot more venues to sell my paperback books.
I also had a birthday yesterday. 56! Boy, do I feel old. I took stock of my life and writing career and felt pretty good about where I am. Other than the gray hair and extra pounds--I could do without those! The positives are I live in Tahoe. You can't beat that. My husband and I had no issues adjusting to our empty-nester status. The girls are both thriving at college. I have books in actual bookstores! I wasn't certain that would ever happen. I can't complain.
I'm still waiting for word back from my publisher on my next series. But we all need a little suspense in our lives, right? How about you? Any good news to share? To check out all my books, visit my website. Happy reading!

Congrats, Jannine. I love your banner. Alison does such great work. My good news? My romantic suspense, Numbers Never Die, releases next Monday. Yay! Wishing you much success with your newest release.
Thanks, Diane. I appreciate the good wishes, and the same to you!
Sounds like you're in a really good place right now, Jannine--good for you! And long may it continue. I'm in some upheaval at the moment with a house move but things going well and as they should. The old house sold right away and that was great so am feeling positive. Hope your books continue to sell well..
I haven't moved in 21 years. I can't even imagine the hassle, Andi. Hopefully you're settling into your new digs and can get back to normal life soon!
Oh, My! Books in Walmart, B&N, Costco...the stuff dreams are made of. Very proud of your work, Jannine. You are persistent, you have a good pub. house, and you write great stories. Did I count correctly when I look at your website...19 books out? Stunning! Mush on, my friend!
Something like that, Rolynn. I've lost track! LOL The downside to producing all those books is I have no free time to read...or do anything else.
First off - Happy Birthday, again. You're only as old as you feel, you know. I have two fold good news. Empty nest for us continues. Even the grandkids are growing up and moving on. AND, Book 2 in my Brothers in Blue series, On The Force is galley proofed and in the able hands of formatters and such. Book 3, On The Make, is 'coming' to me like a gusher. May it continue. Indeed, you are living the dream, as Rolynn said. May you have many more to come. (Love the banner too, BTW.) Will send those pix of LI on the shelves wherever I find them. Promise!
Yay, Jannine!!! That is fantastic news!! I will definitely check my local Walmart and send a pic if I see your book. I don't really have any good news. I need to get my butt busy with writing! Happy birthday (again) :)!
Thanks, Margo. I'm so happy On The Make is in production! Keep up the writing!
Happy birthday to you, too, Ally. I hope you had a great day!
I'm thrilled things are going so well for you. What a great way to celebrate a birthday!
Thanks, Alison. I actually spent my day doing galley edits with a trip to the lake to take the dog swimming!
Jannine, I didn't get to comment yesterday...my apologies! Congratulations! I guess the best thing I can say is that I'm about a third of the way through the book and loving it. It's fantastic...which I knew it would be. I love the hunky firefighter and his little girl, and the "bike"-riding nanny! Wishing you much continued success!
Oh...and happy, happy belated birthday!
Yay! I’m so happy you’re enjoying it, Leah!
