I hit publish on my first romance novel!

[VeeGirl]

Woohoo! Feels so good to type that! This is my first novel that I have written myself. The genre is romance/erotica and it is slightly over 30k words. Facebook, twitter, and mailing list have been set up. I have purchased the domain for this pen name. I chose to use a pen name for privacy reasons and my family would die if they knew what I was writing. :joyful: My book went live this morning and has sold 7 copies. I haven't done any marketing yet. I think I might wait a few days to see how it goes and then possibly enroll in KDP Select. It has been a lot harder than I thought but I have learned so much along the way. I am working on book two of the series, have received 3 other books from ghost writers which need editing, and have 3 more being written. A huge thanks to many of you on this forum who were bombarded by me with questions! Thanks to @GiroudJD, @Erock87, @Held for Ransom, @ChickenHawk, @COSenior and others who have shared a wealth of information on self publishing.
