    Oh, Heather. I'm am sooo excited for you! While you talked about CBA's hesitation with Vikings and the timing with the Viking movies about to release, I was nodding with you and agreeing in my spirit. I know you've worked hard on "God's Daughter", and that this is a well thought out and prayer-bathed decision. I. Am. Excited. And praying for you! Can it be November now?

    Thanks so much, Gwen! Yes…so much prayer, waiting to see which way to go…and I truly feel so peaceful about this. Thank you for your support, my friend!

    Very, very excited for you, Heather! And I believe many (if not all) authors will be hybrid at some point!

    Thank you so much, Beth! I feel like I'm finally moving forward, though of course wheels have been in motion for a while. Excellent point–it'll be exciting as more authors go hybrid and we have new genres/time periods to read!

    Thanks, Becky–you know I wouldn't be happy dancin' without YOU. And Sarah, yes…in my heart, I'm a Viking…hee.

    I think that's a great idea. You know I self-published the first novel of my Éire's Viking trilogy years ago, and it was a good deal. I think that you can go with paperback through CreateSpace if you're interested in going that route.You know where I am if you want to send me an ARC. 🙂

    Sandi, I didn't realize you'd self-pubbed that! Will definitely put you on my list. We Viking authors must stick together!!!

    I also recommend CreateSpace. Just remember to get a proof copy or two and study them before you hit publish. 🙂 I made a few improvements after seeing mine.Heather, you know what I think of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I think folks are going to love it. Good luck! Yay!

  11. Heather Day Gilbert says

    July 11, 2013 at 9:10 pm

    Thank you, Graeme–definitely what I was thinking for the POD version of the book. And great idea for getting those proofs FIRST. You know I'll probably have lots of questions along the way…I appreciate your willingness to help navigate me through AND your good opinion of the book!

    Strike while the iron is hot, Heather! I'm so happy for you and your exciting decision. I have no doubt you've made the right decision. Give the public what they want! You're beginning an exciting journey and I'm happy to be along for the ride.

    Thanks so much, Jennifer and Jill! So glad you're both along for the ride!!!

    I'm so proud of you! That's a tough decision. I'm glad you have peace about it. I'm in a similar situation with my book. It's a hot topic, however getting it traditionally published is proving difficult. I'm struggling though to know if I should self publish. I'll keep praying for you and I'd be honored to help you out. Can't wait to learn more about your journey.

    Thank you, TC! You know I'm always around to chat about things. It's a tough time to get in the door, but now there are other ways to do it!

Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an a Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an author panel @bjuedu with authors Jamie Langston Turner and Emily Golus (@worldofvindor) with @inkwellmagazine. What a wealth of experience these talented authors brought to the table for the guests and writers who attended! Also met author @louannkeisereditor, who was a delight to speak with. Then got to hang out with my lifelong friend @rachelcohee and her husband and daughter and brunch @grandbohemianlodgegreenville at the Between the Trees restaurant. Then capped things off at a bookstore that was hopping! What a much-needed time of relaxation with my husband, who graciously schleps my book boxes and takes event photos for me!📚#authorlife #wvauthor
