NEW STOP ON LUCKY BLOG TOUR

ANOTHER TALENTED AUTHOR HOSTING IT

Beem Weeks is one of the biggest supporters of Indie Authors I've met and for him to host today's stop on Lucky Blog Tour is a HUGE honor.

Not to mention his blog will blow your mind. You MUST read his inspiring posts. They are beautiful tales written with heart and soul.

Why did I become an Indie Author? 

I’ve got asked this question a lot and I found out there’s no easy answer. On one hand, there were many stories inside my head fighting to get out and onto the paper (or an eReader screen), and this was clearly a reason. But on the other hand, there was also a sense of challenge. I had never written anything before August of 2013 when I decided to try my hand at it. I didn’t know if I’d be any good at it. Granted, I had been an avid reader ever since I learned how to read but that didn’t mean I could write.

I still remember fondly the first time I sat down in front of my computer to write my novel. I also remember I would create whole scenes and clever dialogs in my head while driving to my regular job. I would sit through boring meetings while my characters played out scenes in front of my eyes. Then, I would get home and spend hours translating all those awesome ideas into words and sentences. I was living my dream. After a week of hard work, I had written around twenty pages. 

WHAT?! Only twenty pages? 

Yep! That was when I understood writing was a much harder job then I had imagined. People don’t know that. Writers do! 

After that frustrated weekend, I decided to start small. Literally. I put the novel idea aside and started writing short-stories. I learned to create covers and I uploaded them to eBook stores. Then, I waited for the readers to come. And they did! I was surprised at the reviews I started getting. I asked my best friend to post the first one, like so many authors I’ve met have told me they did too, but the other reviews I’ve received so far have come from people I don’t know. Readers who have enjoyed my stories (most of them, anyway) and wrote the most amazing things about them. I was touched and convinced I was doing something right. So I kept writing and learning and hope to be able to do so for a long time.

This review is from: Luck of the Irish: Complete Edition (Kindle Edition)

WOW!!! I read the whole book in 24 hours. It was so good I had the hardest time putting it down. The story takes place in Ireland & has such great detail it's like being there. Declan & Keira have such a great story: it includes meeting your soul mate, travel, friends, family, love, kidnapping, murder, romance & more love. I would recommend Luck of the Irish to anyone who loves a good romantic love store with twists & turns but a happy ending. I was provided with a free copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Luck of the Irish by: Liz Gavin A 5* Must Read!!!!, January 4, 2015

By 

Priority 1 Escorts, LLC (Houston)

This review is from: Luck of the Irish: Complete Edition (Kindle Edition)

WELL!!!! When I first started reading this book I had a hard time staying with it. BUT the further I read the more captivated I became. With strong characters, Kiera and Declan, their story started slow but finally got up and running. The more I read ( thank goodness I didn't stop) the more I wanted to read. Set in Ireland with believable descriptions of buildings, landscape and people that just added to the storyline. I read other reviews and some I found most agreeable.

This book has everything in it, sweet romance - an alpha male - suspense - murder - erotica , did I mention everything!!

Kiera sets out to live a dream after listening to her grandfather's tales of the homeland. Working and saving she was also going to get to see her favorite group UT performing in their hometown. Sadly the concert was cancelled but that led her to Declan. I won't post spoilers but if you enjoy reading any genre you'll love this book. Liz Gavin has a most sensational imagination and spares none on this story. This is the first of her work that I've read but I can't wait to devour more.

I was provided with a free copy of this book so I could give an honest review.
