Thank you for making my dream come true!

Thank you for making October of 2013 the most amazing month of my life. 

OK, that may not be totally accurate...after all, in July of 1965 I was born. That was pretty cool!

June 1983 I graduated high school

May 1986 I graduated college

July 1986 I married my high school sweetheart! (Yeah, that one totally rocked)

July 1989 We welcomed our first child, a boy, into the world! (The bar was set incredibly high)

February 1991 We welcomed our second child, our only daughter, into the world! (As incredible as it was the first time-with the added excitement of watching our son become a big brother made this even better)

August 1996 We welcomed our third child, #2 Son, into the world! (Still an amazing miracle) 

There were also job accomplishments, milestones made by our children...Yes, overall, I've been incredibly blessed to have an amazing life. 

Last month, I released my third book of the Consequences Series. When  Consequences, my first book, was released, it was done with no fanfare or announcements. **Note to authors** that may be why it sold 563 copies in its first YEAR! 

Yes, can you believe that? 

Who writes a sequel or creates a trilogy out of something that sells 563 copies in a year? 

Me!

To be honest, I did it for two reasons: I LOVE my characters and I wanted to know what would happen to them.  (I did it for me)

Then, in November of 2012 I released Truth. This time I told a few people about it, and I was totally excited that it hit #131 on Amazon! 

Then the strangest thing happened...people started to read. They started to tell others and blogs jumped on board. Oh, I <3 the bloggers who took a chance on a "different" read and were brave enough to tell others to read!!! 

With all of that, when it was time to release Convicted, the final in the trilogy...there was a little bit of a buzz!

OMG! That buzz translated into Convicted making #16 on the New York Times Best seller list (ebooks) and #25 (Combined list), as well as #41 on the USA Today Best seller list, a list where it sat for two weeks! 

My advice to everyone and anyone...if you love something...stick to it! If I'd given up my dream to be an author because the first year sales of Consequences was pitiful, we would never have learned the "rest of" Claire and Tony's story. If I listened to every bad review...If I had agreed with the experts that my book broke too many rules...IF I had done any of that...

I couldn't tell you, my awesome readers, THANK YOU, for a release and a month that were truly AMAZING!!! 

I couldn't tell you to -- no matter what -- believe in yourself and follow your dreams...you may just love the CONSEQUENCES as much as I do! 

Thank you!!

Breaking News****Audible!!!!

I have signed a deal with audible.com--a part of Amazon. The Consequences Series will be coming in audio in the future. I received an email telling me that they were trying to expedite the process due to the recent success of Convicted; however, I do not have a schedule or a time frame.

I promise to keep you posted!

Aleatha

Wow!!! What a Whirlwind!

If you're looking at my blog, you probably know that the third in the Consequences Series is now available!
Convicted went live on October 8, 2013...

When I say live, I mean crazy--gang busters--absolutely amazing!!!

To that end, I am extremely proud to say, Convicted reached #16 on the NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER'S LIST and #41 on the USA TODAY'S BEST SELLER LIST!!!

Thank you for all of your support!

To say I'm honored and humbled are understatements. All I can say is "Thank you for this amazing journey" and "Please keep spreading the word!"

Hugs

Because I've been working hard... and I wanted to share some of it with YOU!

MINI EXCERPT - CONVICTED (copyright Aleatha Romig 2013) 

With the open doors looking out to the crystal blue sea, their room was only slightly more private than the lanai. However, it was their room. Madeline and Francis respected their privacy. As Claire’s bathing suit fell to the floor, she realized they’d yet to speak. And still, they’d conversed more than some couples did in a lifetime. They’d greeted one another, discussed the pleasantries of the tropical morning, and assessed that each was doing well. 

Laying on the soft comforter with her arms above her head, the man she loved gazing down at only her, and the large ceiling fan methodically moving the humid air, Claire’s world was right. Had she planned on her morning taking this turn? No. Was she willing? Without a doubt.

Writing is a lonely and yet not job!

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my new "kinda" website.  I'm trying to break away from my previous publisher.  This is mostly because I want to be truly INDIE!  Well, until that million dollar deal arrives... lol.

I feel a little bad, I'm not out there as much lately... only jumping on Facebook, Goodreads, and Twitter now and then.  The thing is...I'm REALLY into CONVICTED!  I can't stop writing, don't want to stop!

Yes, I am here all alone with my laptop.  However, I'm really not alone!  I have Claire, Tony, Phil, Harry, Emily, John, Courtney.... all these people talking to me all the time! (Some are a little more demanding than others - oh, can you guess who?)

So, stop on by... here, Facebook, Goodreads, and leave me a message.  I promise I'll get back to you.  If it takes me longer than normal, I hope you understand.  BTW: We won't tell Tony if I'm less than punctual!

Thanks!

Aleatha

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to my new website! We've been working for a while to get everything you want to know about me and my writing in one place.  

We have my list of events with dates... check it out and PLEASE make plans to come see me!

We have a list of all the WONDERFUL blogs who have taken the time to read Consequences and Truth... feel free to check out their reviews and interviews! Please show these bloggers some love for all the love they've shared.

There is a Consequences / Truth playlist! This has been compiled by readers' recommendations! Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think.

My amazing fans have even compiled pictures, collages, and trailers for my books! What can I say? They are the best readers around!

We also have other ways for you to contact me... Facebook  Twitter, email... I'd love to have you "Like", "Follow" or even drop me a note.  

Under the "Book Club" section, we have discussion questions which you may copy/ paste and use for your book clubs.  Also, I LOVE attending book clubs if geographically possible.  If not, I've visited a few on Skype   So if you think that sounds like fun, please drop me a line and we'll try to work out the details.  Unfortunately I'm not able to make it to all requests.  But I will try!

Of course there are links to buy my books... and for that I'm eternally grateful.  

As I work on CONVICTED, the third in the Consequences Series, I'm continually amazed by the positive responses I receive constantly for my stories.  It seems that on some level most people are truly affected by Tony and Claire and the wonderful list of supporting characters. Some of you may love them, others may hate them... but few walk away from these books without some kind of emotion! I love to hear from you.  

Thank you for accompanying me on this new amazing journey.  Please stay close... Convicted is coming!  

Thank you all!

Aleatha
