A New Look for Jordan's Croft

As much as I love the templates for "The cutest blog on the block" I'm going to give them up.

Jordan's Croft is going "Pro" with a new look. I used softer colors that are easier to read. You can expect to see more changes as time goes on. This is the beginning of the 'tweaking' process that will hopefully make this site even more of an success.

Speaking of success - the book continues to sell a copy here and a copy there. It appears to sell best going into the weekends - people want a good weekend read.

My goals are simple ones - ten books the first month then five additional books every month after that. I would like to have the second book up by the end of the year. My goal is producing 2 or 3 books a year.

Delighted to have found your blog and I've added a link to it on my own. Thanks for the AOS link xxxx

Thank you Lorraine!

For anyone who doesn't know - Lorraine is the founder of Authors On Show. I call it a spin off of Authonomy because so many people from Authonomy found a home there.

AoS is a showcase of yet-to-be published authors and those who have 'made it' to print.

It always gives me a lift to see former Authonomites make good. It is even better to see them make good AND help others.

Have you added your book and link to our forum? It might help sales a bit-who knows?

Lorraine said...

I've put it on the forum for you x

Thanks again! Hope to get some hits from your direction.

I was finally able to get the time to properly check out AoS - and get a login. I think I've got the hang of it now.

I don't know where you've gone. I keep checking in but you've disappeared! Hope all is well? xx

Been very hectic - lot's of family illness - just not mine. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

My parents moved in with us. Mom is 87 and has a collection of short stories that we are putting together. I'm still following you, dear, I'm lurking, not posting. Things look good with AoS - it seems your book is selling, too.

Glad you are still around and keeping in touch albeit in private.
Sorry to hear about everything being as it is. Difficult times for you. My mother is 84 and my father 82. Both still strong, fit and with more energy than I have. Long may it last.

AOS about to change - again! I have decided too much work for me and so the team are having a page each. We can put what we like on it and change it whenever we want. That way, I hope it's also be easier for people.
The blog will remain but without the authors now. Hope it improves things!
Do keep in touch won't you? When the short stories are ready, I'll promote you on my page if you'd like?
Hugs and love, Lorraine xxx
