Reviews are as good as sales

Look into Phoenix here

 

Believe me, I know. It's an incredible and humbling feeling when someone purchases your work with hard-earned money. You could have gone with an author you know, or you could have gone with a different genre. So please believe me when I tell you I for one am grateful for each and every sale.

But something I would cherish just as much is feedback, in the form of a review.

Obviously good reviews help an author in sales. But I value them because any review tells me how to improve my writing and give you, the reader, a better experience. Some reviews I've received showed me flaws that I can now avoid. Some showed me what I did well and I can focus and write better stories to take you for an entertaining ride.

Writing reviews helps other readers. I know when I finish a good book, I want to tell as many people as I can about it. A review is a fantastic way to let your friends know two crucial things:

It was a good book
It was a bad book

Either one helps the author and helps other readers.

So, take a moment at the end of your reading experience and leave a review. You can also go back to any previous book you've read and leave one.

Thanks for reading Phoenix. I loved telling the story and I hope you liked it, too. Even if you didn't, tell me so! I've still got a lot to learn!

Phoenix in Print

Yes, you heard (read) right. Phoenix is ready to be held in your hot little hands. There's nothing like holding a book, turning the pages while sipping tea or coffee, and letting the words float into your mind gently.


The book should go live at Amazon.com in about 24 hours.  Excitement just puts me up in the clouds!

The last time I sold 17 of anything they were round, sweet and came in Girl Scout Cookie boxes!

Phoenix has flown!

It's finally happened! Phoenix is in the air!

Phoenix by Deanne Kearns



A story of wounding, loss and healing.
Tucker Wiley has a good life in Carter, ID. She's well liked by friends and community. But she can't let go of her past.
Alison Tyler has been running for years. She wasn't looking for love, only a haven from a past that won't let go of her.
Can Tucker and Alison find a future together?

This is one of the most remarkable things that has ever happened to me and I'm thrilled to share it with you. It's taken nearly every minute of my 'spare' time for almost a year, but my dream of being published has been one of a lifetime. It's finally become a reality.

 

Thanks to Kate Genet for helping to bring Phoenix to life. The dream would not have come to life without her editing skill and steadfast support.

 

Thank you also to Michelle of MAB Expressions, for bringing a stunning piece of art to Phoenix's cover. She is a true artist.

 

Finally, thanks to all who would open Phoenix's pages and share my world for just a little while. You're welcome to stay as long as you like.
