For fans of Nicholas Sparks, King of read em and weep, this emotional tale will appeal to anyone that has ever experienced love, loss, and friendship.

Thirty-year-old Lucy Lang's in freefall. Unfulfilled at work and abandoned by both her alcoholic mother and the sister she helped to raise, she's become cynical and depressed. Then, just as romance strikes, she finds out her sister needs a kidney transplant and only Lucy can help. Bolstered by new found friends, Lucy sets out on a road trip to save her sister's life and in the process, makes discoveries about the kind of person she truly is.

This romantic drama will pull you into the world of its heroine and inspire you to see the true power of human relationships.

Hi Dana: Have we met in another platform that you remember?

[LarryEnright]

Welcome to Bazaaro world, Lia! I'm going to check out your book. It looks great!

[liafairchild]

BTW Dana: I've definitely seen your book with the two people kissing on the cover. So adorable!

[libbyfh]

It looks really good, Lia, and I'm a confirmed crime fiction reader. Well, mostly. On good days. WHen I want to.

Congratulations on your success.

Hello Book Bazaarians!

Can I say that? I think it sounds pretty good. This is my first official post here although I've been mulling around for a while. I just wanted to share with you my new novel, "In Search of Lucy." It has been out for about three months now and has been camping out in couple of Amazons Top 100 Bestsellers lists for Drama.

Below is a short blurb to get you started, but I would love for you to follow the link at the bottom for more info and to read some of the reviews.

Thanks and happy reading.

Hi Lia,

Welcome and good luck with your book. I've seen it mentioned around quite a few places and really should take a better more in-depth look at it. As I said good luck with the sales and well done so far.

Thirty-year-old Lucy Lang is lost. She spent most of her life sacrificing her own needs to care for her sister and deal with their alcoholic mother. Now alone and bitter, Lucy struggles to find her own purpose in life. Unfortunately, Lucy becomes depressed, cynical and self-destructive. At times she’d even contemplated suicide as a way out.

When she is just about to hit rock bottom, Lucy finds out that her sister needs a kidney transplant and she is the only match; trapping her in a lonely existence to save her sister's life. With the help of new found friends, and a struggling romance, Lucy sets out on a journey to reunite with her sister and search for her own identity. Written in the spirit of Nicholas Sparks, King of read em and weep, In Search of Lucy will bring you to tears and have you jumping for joy.

Welcome to KindleBoards, Lia, and congratulations on your book! 

(If you've gotten this welcome before, it's just as a matter of housekeeping. We like to put a copy of the "welcome letter" in each book thread.  It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, it just helps us know that you know the rules.)

A brief recap of our rules follows:

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice).

--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

--Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!  Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post.  For information on more ways to promote here on KindleBoards, be sure to check out this thread:
Authors: KindleBoards Tips & FAQ.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum.  Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.

Oh, and one more thing:  be sure to check out the index threads at the top of the Book Bazaar. . . .there are details there about how you can be listed so that our readers can find you.

Thanks for being part of KindleBoards!  Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

Lia

[liafairchild]

Just wanted to share a nice feature with you.

Back of the Book reviews did a spotlight on In Search of Lucy http://backofthebookreviews.com/interviewsspotlight/spotlight/liaspotlight/

Take a look!

Thanks,
Lia

[liafairchild]

Here's a great feature of "In Search of Lucy" on the "No Trees Harmed" site.

http://notreesharmed.com/

Also wanted to let everyone know that I recently wrote a short story and decided to give it away for free. You can pick it up at the following links:

Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/661...

Feedbooks: http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/21254/...

GetFreeebooks: The story has been submitted and is awaiting approval.

A brief synopsis of Special Delivery:
Free flowers every month for a year! Recently widowed Amy was delighted to find that she had won. Flowers have always been a big part of her life. But delivery driver Dave brings more than just bouquets. Can he help Amy find happiness again? Will Amy get even more than she bargained for?

[libbyfh]

Wait... do you have two books out or just the one? What is Special Delivery?

[liafairchild]

Sorry, Libby. Just to be clear Special Delivery is a short story I wrote. I decided to release it as a free ebook. In reviewing the posting rules here I believe I can do that as a separate post but I wasn't sure. That probably would have been better. I'll stick with my book updates here.

Speaking of which I'm doing a giveaway on goodreads. You can win 1 of 3 copies of "In Search of Lucy."

[Mel Comley]

Hey, Lia, I've just downloaded Search for Lucy and noticed you had another book under your name but I don't see it in your signature. Can I ask why?

Look forward to reading your book.

[liafairchild]

Hahaha, Mel. You are fasting than I am. Yes, I have a new short story but just haven't had time to get it into my signature. I actually just got "A Hint of Murder: The Writer" on Amazon. This is the first story in the "A Hint of Murder series." I'll get cracking on that so people know.

BTW: Thanks so much for getting In Search of Lucy. Hope you enjoy it.

Lia

[Dana Taylor]

Congrats on how well your book is doing! It's fun to see you bobbing along the Indie river.

Recently I discovered that In Search of Lucy is not just for chicks! Guys are loving my novel and providing some great reviews. One said he read it on his wife's kindle and loved it. Another said, "Kudos - a lovely story from an author I will be looking forward to reading again."

Check it out guys. http://amzn.to/i1uX06

And of course most of my other 24 reviews are for women who continue to love it as well.

Thanks for all the support.
