Click to Win Professional Kindle Cover for Your Book

Today my guest is fiction author D. D. Marx.


She had a successful corporate job and was making great money,
but was unsatisfied and unhappy.


A while ago she found herself without a job and that's when it
all started. She wrote her first novel, which is part of a
trilogy,  was inspired by dear friend lost in a car accident
20+ years ago.


Writing the book became the final healing mechanism to let it go.
D.D. decided on the names of the trilogy, book cover, her pen
name and built out all her social media channels even before she
started writing the book.


That made her be already committed to the work. D.D. is visiting
book clubs and talks about the book.
Original Ideas

D.D. among other social media channels uses Pinterest to market
her book.


She has created boards for each character of the book and pins
things that the characters could like there.


In the book the main character falls in love with a chef. So a
real chef comes with D.D. to book club meetings and cooks recipes
from the book.
Advice from D.D.

Stay committed to the process.


Make sure the stories come from your heart.
