Seven Seven Blog Challenge

Seven Seven Blog Challenge!

Among the many new things I’ve learned (mostly the hard way) since beginning The Gemstone Chronicles is there are many people out there who want to help you succeed. They offer writing advice, formatting help, publishing tips, and, perhaps most importantly, marketing help! I have some skills in certain areas, but marketing is not one of them. This is where the Seven Seven Blog Challenge comes into play!

So, I get to try new things in my efforts to publicize my books. This week is my first blog challenge. I want to say thanks to B.B Shepherd, author of The Glister Journals for putting this together!! You can visit B.B.’s website at http://www.theglisterjournals.com/ to find out more about her books!!

The Challenge!

The neat thing about this blog challenge is that I have to post seven lines from page seven (hence the Seven Seven Blog Challenge) of The Gemstone Chronicles Book Three: The Emerald for everyone to read. I think it is a cool idea to give out a teaser like that! I plan on releasing The Emerald in June 2013. Now for that teaser…

“I have been meaning to ask you what people use for money in Celahir,” Nana said to Findecano.

“We usually trade for goods more than use coin. However, since I have no goods to barter with, I used one of my few coins to reward this young man for his help.”

“How did you pay for our passage on the ship and our rooms at The Bloated Toad and at Peter’s inn?” Maggie asked.

“Keeper paid for those. How, I do not know. Keeper is a mystery to us, even though he is on our side in this struggle,” Findecano shrugged his shoulders at the thought of Keeper.

There are my chosen seven lines from The Gemstone Chronicles Book Three: The Emerald. I hope they entice you to take a look at the first two books of the series, Book One: The Carnelian and Book Two: The Amethyst, and read and review them!
