Creating My First Reader Magnet One of the goals I set for myself this year was to write my first reader magnet. With my first set of deadlines now fulfilled, I knew this was a must. Plus I wanted something to thank all the readers who have been so supportive and encouraging to this newly published author. I had to consider what I should write. I had some ideas, but I didn't want to use anything that could be a full novel in my series. https://www.asliceoforange.net/reader-magnet/

Try an Experiment by Kitty Bucholtz "But it reminded me of choices that I'd forgotten. Between the stresses of nearly six decades on Earth and the personal hell perimenopause/menopause have made of my life the last several years, I've found myself with a mostly negative and scared attitude about life. This from someone who was called Pollyanna since I was a kid! " https://www.asliceoforange.net/try-an-experiment-by-kitty-bucholtz/
