  • And this one! "In 2017, I see career-minded authors settling in for the long haul. It’s not a quick and easy game anymore. Authors are now focusing on plotting out strategies that will sustain..."  Barbara Freethy, BarbaraFreethy.com

And love this one: "More indie authors will find audiences outside the more established markets of the US and the UK..." Mark Lefebvre, Kobo Writing Life

Loving A Country Man (3 Book Series)


Loving A Country Man (3 Book Series):  

Multicultural Romance


http://tinyurl.com/ybd799zs


Part 1: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6KS9J6 
Part 2: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O4QXDAU 
Part 3: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01359CY92 

 Reader Reviews: 


"This is a good old-fashioned love story done well..."

"Tender love story with engaging characters … breathtaking Colorado scenery…"

 "Great chemistry between a city woman and a country man."

Overview: 

Raven Monroe and Dallas Kincaid’s paths finally cross at a gas station in a rural Colorado town, after having both lived in Manhattan for years and never meeting. 

Raven is in Gin River for her friend Amanda Taggart’s wedding. “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride” seems to be her destiny -- until she meets a simple, country man from the farm just around the bend from Taggart Ranch. After just a little while, Raven realizes there’s more to the handsome farmer than meets the eye. 

_______________ 

Dallas Kincaid vowed to never return to Gin River, Colorado. The little country town never felt like home, and he left as soon as he was of age, feeling more at home in big cities like Manhattan -- where no one knew his past. But after meeting Raven Monroe, the desire to settle down and start a family in a quiet enclave like Gin River is stronger than ever. 

But will Dallas be able to come to terms with his past and embrace everything that belongs to him -- both good and bad -- so he can have the one thing he’s always coveted? 

And can Raven forget her own past and let him in? Or will demolishing the wall she built after what happened to her be too high a price to pay for happiness that’s not guaranteed … 

BWWM Multicultural Romance

Romance Readers by the Numbers

Romance Readers by the Numbers


Support for Indie Authors discussion (Goodreads)



Quick Article Takeaways:  

So how is the romance audience deciding on which new authors to try? 
  • recommendations from family/friends, reviews, price, teaser chapters and word-of-mouth are the leading influencers 
  • among readers of all ages, buying in the store is the most-mentioned (56%) way of acquiring romance books
  • age matters in terms of influence; younger romance readers are more likely to be influenced by Amazon ratings and book bloggers
