  1. Just heard my husband yell from the other room, because he forgot to press some button that let him win an online typing game. *headshake*
  2. @courtneymilan Misrepresented, as in: It wasn't her baby? @jane_l @jillmyles
  3. @mcvane Seriously. About a girl who gets plastic surgery and plots revenge on the hero after he calls her plain/ugly as a teenager.
  4. Running with the girl to swimming practice. Ugh. Is so muggy in the observation area.
  5. @mcvane The title itself? Sara Craven's FACADE. Not my favorite book, but it fit the story perfectly, and is neat and elegant.
  6. @mcvane Or authors? Although I've heard anecdotal evidence that a BILLIONAIRE'S VIRGIN title will always outsell a less embarrassing one.
  7. @mcvane but it'll be interesting to see if more people were turned off than grabbed.
  8. @mcvane Oh, I definitely like the old titles better--as a marketing strategy, I think the titles worked, and grabbed like tabloid headlines.
  9. @mcvane I make fun of them, too. On the other hand, there are key words that suck me in and I'll look it even if I don't like the author.
  10. @ConnieBrockway I suppose that is better than Jonathan Swift, who made "Irish" synonymous with "tasty".
  11. @dearauthor it will be interesting to see if changing up the titles will have an effect on their sales, for good or bad.
  12. @jillmyles I'm impressed you haven't eaten them yet! I'd have gobbled them up by the second day.
  13. @jane_l Or maybe they've just run out of titles? When they hit the sheik's stable girl, you know they're digging.
  14. @jane_l maybe that is why the change? New hero-types? Don't want to scare away anyone with THE OCTOPUS'S CHRISTMAS VIRGIN
  15. @mcvane Am laughing, too. What kind of stats/site does a potential affiliate need? That's insane. @dearauthor
  16. @jillmyles Oh, that third page. LOL. Ouch. But is a great lesson in assertive and clear writing.
  17. @jane_l Nooooo! How will I know if the hero is a billionaire Italian seeking revenge against his virgin mistress if not for those titles????
  18. 95% of new-to-me authors are from online recs. I definitely don't discount online promo. Hope don't give that impression. @Soullumination
  19. @redrobinreader It's not terrible, so in my head, that means "pretty decent". No camera here, but going to bday party later. Shld have pics.
  20. @redrobinreader Am tempting fate (and probably going to ruin dress) by now taking up a little more slack through unimpressive bosom.
